Group Description

We have set a local network of different institutions and laboratories that comprise well-established expertises in a variety of experimental animal models for human diseases, together with a new positron emission tomography center that will be operating from 2004. The positron emission tomography center is equipped with a micro-PET for small animals (Concorde microsystems Rodent 4R), a cyclotron (IBA Cyclone 18/9 with 6 targets: 18FDG, F2, 11C, 15O and 13N), and laboratories for radiosynthesis (3 analytical HPLC systems equipped with DAD and fluorescence detectors, 1 GC-MS system, 1 LC-MS system, 2 preparative HPLC system, radio-TLC, ß+ detectors coupled to all chromatographic systems, 1 HPLC system equipped with conductivity and electrochemical detectors). In addition, one of the groups of our local network has expertise in instrumentation physics and image analysis. [read more]
