VALENCIA, Calif. – Dec. 3, 2024 – Nusano, a physics company transforming the production of radioisotopes, today announced the creation of a Medical Radioisotopes Advisory Board. This panel of internationally recognized leaders in nuclear medicine will provide strategic guidance to Nusano, ensuring its product development aligns with emerging trends and with the needs of cancer patients. The board will also guide the development of isotopes for next-generation theranostic compounds.
“As a radioisotope producer, Nusano plays a critical role in the supply chains of drug developers, healthcare providers and researchers,” said Chris Lowe, CEO of Nusano. “Establishing a Medical Radioisotopes Advisory Board reflects our ongoing commitment to proactively enabling the next generation of oncology research. The board’s guidance will ensure Nusano is providing a stable and scalable supply of isotopes for new areas of research and patient care.”
Radioisotopes are essential components in the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) used in new and emerging cancer therapies including molecular radiation. Existing supply chains for these treatment-enabling resources are often strained, posing a risk to patient care, clinical trials, and ongoing drug development.
Nusano is working to stabilize supply chains and enable innovation by bringing new sources of radioisotopes to multiple markets. Opening in 2025 in West Valley City, Utah, the Nusano production platform will be capable of generating more than 40 radioisotopes applicable to medical and industrial uses. It is anchored by a proprietary ion source technology which accelerates heavy particles (alphas and deuterons) to generate high volume, high quality (CGMP-grade) radioisotopes with unparalleled efficiency using eco-friendly methods. The result is one of the first significant advancements in radioisotope production in decades.
