Research 

RIH runs projects on the production of radionuclides, chemical separation and labeling, nuclear spectroscopy, targeting (imaging, therapy), chemical speciation, radiometalloproteomics, metal toxicity, assessment of radiation dose,  and trace element research on distribution, pathways, speciation and monitoring, the latter all mostly focused on reaction kinetics and process dynamics.

 

Current key projects:

  1. Development of radioisotope carriers
    1. Production of carrier-free radionuclides
    2. 3Binding
    3. (Bis)phosphate complexes for treatment of bone metastases
    4. Szilard & Chalmers production of 99Mo-99mTc
    5. New routes for the production of Re-186
    6. Alpha-particle therapy
  2. Medical applications of nano-materials
    1. Lipid-based nano-materials with tumor-specific peptides
    2. Toxicity of mixtures of metals
    3. Side effects of medical nano-materials
  3. Radio-analysis
    1. Radioactivity in excreta from radiotherapy patients
    2. Kinetic stability of Pt-complex-DNA adducts
    3. Stability kinetics on ML, MHL and MH2L complexes of 177Lu-DOTA-octreotate
    4. PAC spectroscopy
    5. Proton beam therapy
    6. Liver biopsies in studies with companion animals
  4. Optimization of sample collection in health-oriented studies
    1. A decision support system for granular material in
      radiopharmaceutical industry and food industr
    2. Urine and faeces in diapers of babies and elderly people
    3. Toe-nail clippings
