<\/span><\/div>Our projects<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Bioimaging Cluster project\u2019s aim is to synthesize, develop and optimise the production process of radiotracers Na18<\/sup>F and\u00a068<\/sup>Ga-DOTATOC, in compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices).<\/p>\n The project has three objectives:<\/p>\n Elements of product and process innovation will be introduced during the project.<\/p>\n Its results, if they\u2019re worth, could lead to one or more patents.<\/p>\n Project will come to end with a demonstrative radiotracers production.<\/p>\n Na18<\/sup>F will be produced in ITEL Telecomunicazioni radiopharmacy,\u00a068<\/sup>Ga-DOTATOC will be produced in the Apulian Nuclear Medicine department.<\/p>\n The study for the industrial process development of the [Ra-bis\/polyphosphonate] equivalent cold production will be carried out in the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Bari.<\/p>\n These molecules are useful to treat bone metastasis related to cancers detected by Na18<\/sup>F.<\/p>\n Finally clinical cases for which is required the use of the radiotracers mentioned above will be examined. That particular issue will also need the involvement of the Apulian Nuclear Medicine department.<\/p>\n The assessment of the clinical cases must show that the proposed radiotracers are more selective and effective than traditional methods, which provide the use of PET\u00a018<\/sup>F-FDG radiotracer and a bone scan with 99mTc complex.<\/p>\n All the data collected during research activities will be processed on an IT platform, developed in cooperation with the pool of expertise ICT Daisy-Net.<\/p>\n For more info please visit\u00a0http:\/\/www.clusterinbioimaging.it\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>Bioimaging Cluster<\/h2>\n<\/div>
