Biotage AB and McMaster University sign joint agreement to develop new chemistry platform
"This partnership brings together cutting edge synthesis and purification tools with radiopharmaceutical research which spans basic science to the development and testing of novel imaging and therapy agents. The new platform technologies will facilitate the process of producing tracers and therapeutics and it will be particularly useful for developing radiolabeled analogues of new drug candidates. The latter aim is particularly important as imaging is playing an increasingly important role in early clinical trials," Dr. John F. Valliant, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Medical Physics, and Acting Director of McIARS stated.
