Discover Science: Advances in Radiopharmaceuticals to Diagnose and Treat Diseases

Early disease diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Dr. Sadeghi’s lab specializes in developing radiolabeled molecules that can help to precisely locate disease within the body which leads to better diagnosis and treatment. Radiopharmaceutical therapy is a form of precision medicine that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells not the entire body — ensuring the right drug is given to the right patient. Join us as we hear from Dr. Saman Sadeghi, Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology, and Principal Investigator at McMaster Radiochemistry and Radiopharmaceuticals, as he discusses the molecular imaging and radiopharmaceuticals program at McMaster and the significant impact of this research. Q & A will follow.
