Scientists develop an automated synthesis module for radiopharmaceuticals

Radiopharmaceuticals (RPs) are a special type of drug containing radioactive isotopes that are used to diagnose and treat various diseases. These medicines can be used both for modern, high-precision diagnosis of various diseases (mainly cancer) and for their treatment.

Radiopharmaceuticals are based on molecules that specifically bind to certain receptors or tissues in the body, allowing the radioactive isotope to be delivered to the right place and maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment. However, the production of radiopharmaceuticals is still extremely costly and relies heavily on foreign components.
