I am is a SINAPSE funded PET radiochemist who joined the Edinburgh CRIC (Clinical Research Imaging Centre) in July 2008. I graduated a PhD in Organic Chemistry in Grenoble, France, before being trained as a PET radiopharmaceutical chemist in Zurich (Switzerland). I am currently actively involved in the setting up of the Edinburgh radiochemistry suite where I will act as the Production Manager. I am particularly interested in the development of new radiotracers and the translation from R&D to human.
