SCIENTIFIC REPORTS OF AANL YOUNG RESEARCHERS.
On January 26, Andranik Manukyan, Head of the NAAG Isotope Production Technology Development Group, delivered his report:
Topic "Development of isotope production technologies"
During the report, A. Manukyan presented the activities of the Isotope Research and Production Department and, in particular, the Technology Development and Isotopes Production Group. The following questions were answered: What is nuclear medicine? What is a radioisotope? What is a radiopharmaceutical? The reporter told about new achievements of the department’s engineers in automating the processes in the isotope production, as well as for solving other problems in fundamental physics by using the radiation technologies.

On April 25-28, the Second Research Coordination Meeting on the IAEA coordinated research project took place entitled: "Production of the radioisotope gallium-68 and related radiopharmaceuticals based on the cyclotron (F22073)".
Ruben Dallakyan, Head of the AANL Isotope Research and Production Department, presented an interim report on the production of ⁶⁸Ga and ⁶⁷Ga isotopes using C18 cyclotron. The purpose of the meeting was to share experience among IAEA members for the cyclotron-based production of ⁶⁸Ga and the preparation of ⁶⁸Ga - labeled radiopharmaceuticals for the preclinical studies and further clinical application.
The coordinated research project involves research institutes and manufacturing companies from 12 countries.
