Our cancer imaging research utilises three main facilities, generously funded by the Daisy Appeal Charity, University and NHS Trust:
- PET Research Centre (PETRC) – University of Hull
- Molecular Imaging Research Centre (MIRC) – Castle Hill Hospital, East Yorkshire
- Jack Brignall PET-CT Centre – Castle Hill Hospital, East Yorkshire
We have access to world-class research facilities, from the development and production of research radiopharmaceuticals and in vitro / in vivo pre-clinical evaluation (PETRC), to good manufacturing practice clinical translation (MIRC) and in-human evaluation (Jack Brignall PET-CT Centre).
HuMIC is equipped with two cyclotrons across both PETRC and MIRC, producing fluorine-18 and carbon-11 on demand. In addition, we hold gallium-68 and technetium-99m generators, with established delivery routes for a wide range of isotopes, including zirconium-89, indium-111, iodine-124, copper-64 and 67 and lutetium-177.
