THERANOSTICS

The project, which is supported by a grant from the Danish Research Council for Strategic Research, is a cross-disciplinary collaboration between research groups within molecular imaging and oncology. The partners are located at Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen and DTU... The aim of the project is through use of molecular biology and molecular imaging with PET in both animals and patients to develop, evaluate and use non-invasive molecular imaging for human tumor characterization in order to plan individualized, tailored cancer therapy. In addition, new radionuclide therapies will be developed on basis of promising imaging ligands, such pairing is known as theranostics where imaging may predict efficiency of treatment.
