Offer Description
Radionnuclide therapy (RNT) is a treatment for metastasized cancer in which radionclides emitting radiation are used to kill tumour cells. Different radionuclide can be used among which 166Ho. This particular radionuclide has relatively short-life, which makes supply to hospitals challenging. In this project, we aim at developing a 166Dy/166Ho radionuclide generator which will supply hospitals with 166Ho on site and on demand. This project is part of large NWO (Dutch Research Council) funded consortium "UNRANU: UNderstanding the RAdiobiology of therapeutic medical radioNUclides" which aims to unravel the radiobiological effects of different radioisotopes. You will collaborate with many stake holders from academia, industry and society (e.g. Erasmus MC, Radboudumc, Delft University of Technology, NRG|PALLAS, AlfaRim Medical, HUB Organoids MILabs, Quirem Medical, Radboud Translational Medicine B.V., Siemens Healthineers, TerThera b.v., URENCO Nederland, Von Gahlen, VSL National Metrology Institute, RIVM National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, Wetenschapsknooppunt Radboud Universiteit).
In this project you will work on the development of 166Dy/166Ho generator by combining concepts from different fields including nanotechnology (synthesizing dysprosium-based nanomaterials) and radiochemistry (radiochemical separation to selectively extract Ho-166) to create the new generator and assess whether the produced Ho-166 conforms to the European pharmacopeia standards for use in the clinic. The research will be highly multidisciplinary, including all aspects of designing, synthesizing, characterizing, and fabricating the novel radionuclide generator in close collaboration with industry leaders and university hospitals.
