The aim of this course is to present a general overview of the most relevant aspects involved in the design, synthesis, characterization and preclinical evaluation of radioactive compounds with potential interest as radiopharmaceuticals, namely in a theranostic context.

At the same time, the participants will obtain practical skills on the manipulation of medical radionuclides, synthesis and in vitro evaluation of radiopharmaceuticals and their evaluation in different cellular and animal models.

The course will comprise a theoretical part and a practical hands-on training that will run in laboratories licensed for the manipulation of medical radionuclides and for studies with human cell lines and animal models.
