Research environment The senior research staff have wide experience and a good age profile. The unit
currently has ten PhD students but would benefit from more postdoctoral and PhD
students. Active steps are being taken to recruit more students to both the MSc and
doctoral programme.
The specialised laboratories and equipment required for radiochemistry are
available. There is a wide range of modern instrumentation and both a cyclotron
(1998 vintage, though recently upgraded) and a 60Co gamma irradiation source. The
cyclotron will need replacement in the future. More conventional chemical
measurements are carried out in the Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry and other
institutes in Finland and abroad.
A recent development is a small animal laboratory for preclinical studies by the
radiopharmaceutical group.
