Chris Wagner: The role of Eden Radioisotopes in the future of nuclear medicine
Chris Wagner has more than 40 years of experience in nuclear medicine, beginning as a clinical practitioner before moving into leadership roles at companies like Mallinckrodt (now Curium) and Nordion. His knowledge of both the clinical and the manufacturing sides of nuclear medicine laid the groundwork for helping to found Eden Radioisotopes, a start-up venture that intends to make diagnostic and therapeutic raw material medical isotopes like molybdenum-99 and lutetium-177.

A code to model permeation behavior of hydrogen isotopes through bcc Fe was developed by means of a Monte Carlo technique. This code enables correlation of atomic-scale information such as diffusion barrier or adsorption energy with macroscopic quantities such as solubility or permeability. Model parameters were derived from results of ab initio calculations in density function theory. To validate the code, both temperaturedependent permeability and pressure-dependent solubility for hydrogen were evaluated. Simulation results provided reasonable permeability and solubility compared with experimental data, and adequately showed their temperature/pressure dependence.
