Congratulations to Lauren McIntosh and the entire At-211 Team on the recent acceptance of a new paper, “Production, isolation, and shipment of clinically relevant quantities of astatine-211: A simple and efficient approach to increasing supply” in Nuclear Medicine and Biology!
Thank you to UAB News for highlighting our recent DOE Office of Science’s Early Career Research Program (ECRP)proposal, Expanding the Fundamental Understanding of At-211 Chemistry: Towards Improving Binding and Complexation, which has been selected for funding through the DOE Office of Science’s Early Career Research Program (ECRP) by the Office of Isotope R&D and Production and the DOE Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).
Our project, Expanding the Fundamental Understanding of At-211 Chemistry: Towards Improving Binding and Complexation, has been selected for funding through the DOE Office of Science’s Early Career Research Program (ECRP) by the Office of Isotope R&D and Production and the DOE Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). The goal of this project is to expand the fundamental chemistry of At-211 binding and complexation, so insights gained can be applied to developments in separations, purifications, and chelating agents for this interesting and important element. Ultimately, an improved understanding of At-211 could significantly decrease the time required for the recovery and use of this TAT isotope, leading to an overall increase in the availability of At-211 for treatment as well as research purposes.
Congratulations to Evgeny Tereshatov and the entire At-211 Team on the recent acceptance of a new paper, “First evidence of astatine interaction with non-conventional solvents: extraction into hydrophobic ionic liquid and binary mixtures from nitric acid media” in the Separation and Purification Technology!
The DOE Office of Science recently published a highlight, “Tunable Bonds: A Step Towards Targeted At-211 Cancer Therapy”, about some of our recent findings!
Congratulations to Evgeny Tereshatov and the entire At-211 Team on the recent acceptance of a new paper, “Ion exchange behavior of astatine and bismuth” in the New Journal of Chemistry!
Congratulations to Evgeny Tereshatov and the entire At-211 Team on the recent acceptance of a new paper, “Mechanism of astatine and bismuth sorption on extraction chromatography resins from nitric acid media” in Chemical Engineering Journal!
The Burns Research Group received its second shipment of ~1.7 mCi of At-211 on December 15, 2022! A huge thank you to our collaborators at The Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute who successfully loaded, packaged, and shipped us a 3-octanone extraction chromatography cartridge with 26 mCi of At-211!
