The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $609,250 Project Grant under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) to purchase a new automated multi-run carbon-11 radiosynthesis system. This specialized equipment will be installed at VUMC's Radiochemistry Core Facility to increase capacity for manufacturing carbon-11 radiotracers, which are extensively utilized in VUMC's pre-clinical and clinical research programs supported by NIH funding. The upgraded system will allow for higher throughput production of key radiotracers like [11C]PIB, support the development of novel radiotracers, and provide more reliable capacity to avoid disruptions to ongoing NIH-funded studies. The project is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2025.
