ENS Conference : Beating Cancer – Turning the tide with medical isotopes
2023-04-17 09:00 - 11:00 (Europe/Paris) | Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel, Antwerp, 7B Koningin Astridplein, Antwerp, Antwerp, 2018, Belgium
Every year 10 million patients in Europe benefit from nuclear medicine. In the past decade, research has made tremendous progress and medical isotopes are expected to become an even more vital tool in the treatment of many types of cancers.
In this session, we will learn about the use of medical isotopes for diagnosis and treatment. Our experts will give an update on increasingly effective therapeutics and the expected growth in medical nuclear procedures in line with these dynamic developments.
We will identify what is needed to establish a robust supply chain in the EU and to ensure that all patients receive the care they need when they need it.
Speakers:

Dr. Wouter Vogel, Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek Dutch Cancer Institute
Prof. Michel Koole, European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM)
Richard Zimmermann, MEDraysintell, and Sven Van den Berghe, Panthera

Moderator: Remigiusz Baranczyk, Euratom Supply Agency

PRISMAP training course | Translational research of radiopharmaceuticals
2023-03-20 09:00 - 2023-03-24 17:00 UTC | SCK CEN Mol, Boeretang 200, Mol, Antwerp, 2400, Belgium
This unique course touches upon the radiobiological, radiochemical and dosimetric aspects in the development of radiopharmaceuticals. The course is organized under the umbrella of the PRISMAP project (www.prismap.eu).
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101008571 (PRISMAP).
Specific topics that will be covered are:

Radiobiological aspects of the use of radiopharmaceuticals: cancer cell inhibiting and cytotoxicity for normal cells;
Radiochemistry in the development of radiopharmaceuticals;
Dosimetric and microdosimetric aspects of the use of radiopharmaceuticals;
Examples of specific research studies in the development of radiopharmaceuticals.

Target audience:

PhD students as well as post-docs, junior scientists or technicians interested in radiopharmaceuticals for medical applications. The course can allow a maximum number of 20 participants.

Nuclear careers day 2023
2023-03-07 | Royal Academy for Science and the Arts of Belgium, Hertogstraat 1, Brussels, Belgium
The Nuclear Careers Day aims at introducing science and engineering students as well as professionals to available advanced education and training in nuclear themes, PhD and post-doc opportunities and to available jobs in nuclear industry, healthcare, governmental organizations and research centres.
During a walking lunch, participants can effectively network at the booths of participating companies, institutions and networks.
Technical visits are foreseen in the afternoon.
On March 6, one day before the in-person event, online one on one speed dating with key organisations will be possible to prepare for the in-person event.
