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.

To test the recent advances in receptor modeling for the identification of long-range transport of regional source signatures of airborne particulate matter, an epithermal irradiation facility to determine indium has been specifically constructed. Analysis of filter samples collected weekly over a 5-yr period has indicated that indium in the arctic atmosphere is strongly dependent on season. Typical detection limits were 0.1 ng per one-eighth of a 20.3- × 25.4-cm Whatman filter. The airborne concentrations of indium are extremely elevated in the winter and spring months, and they almost disappear in the summer months. The application of the potential source contribution function has indicated that the indium originates from several areas in Eurasia as well as from known “hot spots” in North America.
