Abstract

The main objective of this research is to perform and supervise radiopharmacy studies related to developing the in house labeling of the PSMA molecule with gallium-68. This process will include the validation of the synthesis process and quality control of the final product and the evaluation of the stability of radiolabeled elements and other parameters. This labeling will be performed in agreement with the standard guidelines and international pharmacopeia.
