Learn from senior researchers and your peers!
Due to COVID-19 challenges to travel and meetings, the SRS ThinkTank (SRS-TT) Organizing Committee developed the first VIRTUAL Summer School on Organic and Halogen Radiochemistry (CAFACHEM 2020) dedicated to State-of-Art Organic/Halogen Radiochemistry and its application in PET tracer development. CAFACHEM stands for CArbon, Fluorine and organohalogen rAdioCHEMistry. CAFACHEM 2020 was held on August 26-28, 2020.
CAFACHEM 2020 Summer School was organized for early career scientists, technicians, PhD-students and Post-Docs that want to learn about the latest radiochemistry with organic and halogen radionuclides, e.g. 11C, 13N, 18F, 76Br, 124I and others. Application of radiotracers in preclinical and clinical imaging for neurological and oncological disease as well as drug discovery was covered. In addition to lectures from senior experts, attendees had the opportunity to present your own research online
