The Cyclotron and Radiochemistry Laboratory was first envisioned by the University Health Network’s Regenerative Medicine (REMEDI) Project as a means to obtain their objectives of (i) LABELLING, (ii) IMAGING, (iii) VISUALIZATION, and (iv) GUIDED DELIVERY of cell, gene and protein therapy. By having the on-site ability to produce customizable radiotracers, the physical constraints of short lived radioisotopes and inaccessibility of these radioisotopes is eliminated, and the functional imaging capabilities of PET can fully exploited. The Cyclotron and Radiochemistry Lab will be built in the Clinical Services Building at the Toronto General Hospital, and will be a local resource for novel radioisotopes. It will also provide full proteomics support. The facility will not only fulfill the objectives of the REMEDI project but will be a resource for all biomedical research requiring such agents.
