Clinical trial-based research to expand the use of alpha particle-based therapeutics. Actinium-225 is a radiopharmaceutical we will be producing in the first-of-its-kind alpha labeling lab in an academic institution. The image demonstrates an example of how we hope to benefit patients seeking cancer care through this institutional lab.
