The expertise of the Radiopharmaceutical Sciences Group (RS) in Chemistry, Radiochemistry and Radiopharmacy and their facilities are being used to provide training Undergraduate, Graduate and Post-Graduate Students as well as to Physicians resident in Nuclear Medicine.

Graduation Students

• The RS Group collaborates in the Course Radiopharmacy at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Lisbon (IMI) and is responsible for the Course  Radiopharmacy at the Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Saúde de Lisboa (ESTSeL). Based on a protocol established between the RS/ITN and ESTSeL, students from this school, Nuclear Medicine Course, spend a semester in our laboratories doing experimental work related with Radiopharmaceuticals: synthesis, quality control and biological evaluation. Students from this school, during the last year of its graduation, did a research project under the supervision of the RS Group, resulting a thesis which is discussed and appreciated by researchers from RS Group and ESTSeL.
