Sanatomics: An Overdue Change for Medical Isotopes

by

The team leveraged UC Berkeley High Flux Neutron Generator (HFNG) to produce medical isotopes for diagnosing and treating cancer. These isotopes are cost effective, highly suited for customized oncological treatments, and will also close a gap in the medical supply chain that will be caused by the decommissioning of nuclear reactors. Team: Kelsae Adame, Grace… Read More »
