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 high average power diode pumped solid state laser is used to pump large aperture Ti:sapphire enabling high average power chirped pulse amplification. After compression, over a petawatt of peak power will be used to generate fusion ions and neutrons for materials testing of first wall and final optics candidates.
