2022 PET-RTRC Annual Workshop & Scientific Session

Please join us for the PET Radiotracer Translation and Resource Center (PET-RTRC) Workshop & Scientific Session. Registration is now open for the annual event, held virtually this year from Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The PET-RTRC leverages the university’s expertise in PET radiotracer design, development, training and use with that of research groups throughout the country who are studying molecular and cellular processes of interest to facilitate the development and dissemination of novel PET radiotracers.

Please see below for more information about our upcoming preclinical and clinical imaging workshops and scientific session. For more information or questions about the schedule, please contact Michelle Hoelscher.
