Symposium: Inauguration Symposium for Theranostics Trial Center
May 5 @ 08:30 - 16:15

Inauguration Symposium for Theranostics Trial Center – bringing together national and international experts in the field of onco-theranostics.
The upcoming symposium will bring together national and international experts in the field of onco-theranostics, including pre-clinical and translational researchers, nuclear medicine specialists, oncologists, radiologists, medical physicists and representatives of Swedish pharmaceutical companies, patient organizations and decision-makers. Topics include advancements in targeting substances for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, dosimetry, whole-body PET, and clinical applications. See the program below
The symposium is free of charge. Register to secure your attendance and submit abstract for poster session.
Target audience: Scientists, researchers, clinicians, policymakers, regulatory agents, patient representatives, students
Purpose: to provide a current state-of-the-art, inspiring future glimpse of new developments in the field of radiopharmaceuticals and showcase activities within the TTC.
