A journey of discovery
Explore my professional experiences, highlighting my key contributions and skills in radionuclide production and radiochemistry. This page showcases projects and roles that have shaped my expertise in the field.
Curriculum Practical Training (CPT) - University of Wisconsin - Madison
During my Curriculum Practical Training at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, I gained invaluable hands-on experience in As-71 production and separation methods, as well as cyclotron-related work. This experience provided a strong foundation in the practical aspects of radionuclide handling and processing.
Visiting Research Scholar - University of Washington - Seattle
As a Visiting Research Scholar at the University of Washington in Seattle, I had the unique opportunity to prepare Eu-153 targets for α – irradiation to produce Tb-155. Tb-155 has characteristic properties useful in medical imaging. I also got the chance to shadow a complete At-211 processing run during my stay.
This experience allowed me to broaden my knowledge of target preparation techniques and the production of specific isotopes with applications in medical imaging and therapy. The opportunity to observe and participate in At-211 processing provided valuable insights into advanced radiochemical separation procedures.
Skills and contributions
Some key skills I possess includes expertise in radionuclide production, radiometal separation, radiolabeling, quality control, and target recycling. These skills are vital for the development and production of effective radiopharmaceuticals.
My experience includes working with isotopes such as Tb-155, and Tb-161, and using chelators like DOTA/DOTA-TATE. I am also trained in radiation safety, nuclear and cyclotron operations, making me a well-rounded contributor to any radiopharmaceutical development team.
