SNSF Sinergia PHOR (PHOtonuclear Reactions)
Breakthrough Research in Radionuclides for Theranostics

In the SNSF funded Sinergia project PHOR, photonuclear reactions will be investigated to produce radionuclides suitable for targeted tumor therapy, such as 225Ac.

This research is carried out in the groups of Prof. Dr. Andreas Türler (DCB), PD Dr. Saverio Braccini (LHEP) and Dr. Christian Kottler (METAS).
