MPI Research, InviCRO, and 3D Imaging said that a cyclotron has arrived and will be installed at a Michigan facility established by the firms.
The cyclotron will be installed at the 10,000-sq-ft Translational Imaging Center in Mattawan, MI, a facility the three firms established together last June. The center is located at MPI Research's global corporate headquarters.
Although the cyclotron is scheduled to begin operation this spring, the partners have already been conducting imaging studies. Radioisotopes produced from the cyclotron will be used to visualize, characterize, and quantify biological, chemical, and physiological processes at the cellular and molecular levels in vivo, according to the companies.
