Nancyclotep has obtained €7 million in funding and has partnered with PMB to strengthen its position as a reference center for Vectorized Internal Radiation Therapy in France

Nancyclotep has embarked in a significant investment program to become a reference center for vectorized internal radiation therapy in France. In order to further establish its position, Nancyclotep has partnered with PMB, a subsidiary of the ALCEN group, which manufactures small cyclotrons and automated robotic systems for producing radiopharmaceuticals.
Together, the two entities obtained a European funding of €7.2 million. This global project, totaling more than €15 M, will allow the implementation of a technical platform including a mini-cyclotron, an automatic robotic system to produce radiopharmaceuticals, a conventional radiopharmaceutical production unit, a radiochemistry laboratory and a preclinical platform. In parallel, a 14-bed treatment unit, dedicated to vectorized internal radiation therapy with both alpha- and beta-emitting radionuclides, was created at the Nancy University Hospital Center.

Nancyclotep's Administrator, Prof. Gilles Karcher, proudly declares « Work has begun. The technical platform and the care unit will be operational in the first quarter of 2020. Nancyclotep is already a clinical trial operator with local access to Zirconium 89, Gallium 68 and Copper 64 sources; with this investment we wish to meet the growing needs of pharmaceuticals and become a major player in the field of radiotheranostics ».
Nancyclotep's management team will be attending the SNMMI Nuclear Medicine Congress in Anaheim, June 22-25, 2019, to meet their future partners.
