Recent advances in emerging radiopharmaceuticals and the challenges in radiochemistry and analytical chemistry
Journal Article Trac Trends in Analytical Chemistry · January 1, 2025 Radiopharmaceuticals are of growing interests in the development of theranostic agents and personalized medicine because of their unique advantages. Diagnosis (via molecular imaging) and treatment (via targeted radionuclide therapy) can be achieved simulta ...

Journal Article Nucl Med Biol · 2024 INTRODUCTION: Targeted α-particle therapy agents have shown promising responses in patients who have developed resistance to β--particle emitting radionuclides, albeit off-target toxicity remains a concern. Astatine-211 emits only one α-particle per decay ... Full text Link to item CitePSMA-reactive NB7 single domain antibody fragment: A potential scaffold for developing prostate cancer theranostics.
Journal Article Nucl Med Biol · 2024 INTRODUCTION: Single domain antibody fragments (sdAbs) are an appealing scaffold for radiopharmaceutical development due to their small size (~15 kDa), high solubility, high stability, and excellent tumor penetration. Previously, we developed NB7 sdAb, whi ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
