At the 3rd PiW International Meeting, Prof Henri Tochon-Danguy will be talking about his extraordinary contributions to the field of radiochemistry over the past 50 years, including his latest innovative radiosynthesiser for automated production of PET radiotracers. Prof Tochon-Danguy is an Honorary Consultant at Austin Health in Melbourne, Australia and works part-time in his company “iPHASE Technologies”, founded in 2004 to design and manufacture radiosynthesisers for production of PET radiotracers. He is a chemist by training and holds a PhD in physical sciences. His international track-record is recognised widely, having worked at the University of Geneva (Switzerland), CERN (Switzerland), MRC Hammersmith Hospital (UK) and Austin Health (Australia). Prof Tochon-Danguy has over 100 publications, books and proceedings.

At the meeting, Dr Tashfeen Walton, University of Edinburgh, will also be speaking on various methods for radiolabelling of PET radiotracers and Prof David O’Hagan, University of St. Andrews, will talk on his unique research on enzymatic chemistry applied to PET radiolabelling.

This is truly a translational meeting covering exciting research on PET from the chemistry bench to man! And connecting researchers in Scotland and the other side of the world!
