Life Sciences
- Radiopharmaceutical Research
The radiopharmaceutical research group at MURR focuses on development of radioisotopes for use in detecting and treating cancer and other chronic human diseases.
- Trace Element Epidemiology
Epidemiology is the study of the factors, frequency, mode of transmission, evolution and implementation of ways to prevent disease.
- Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy or BNCT, is based on a binary, or two-component method of generating cytotoxic radiation for cancer therapy.
- Radioisotope Tracers
Since radioactivity was discovered, radioactive isotopes have been used as tools with which to gain a better understanding of the chemistry of living systems.
