Wim Oyen, Chair of the EANM Policy & Regulatory Affairs Council (PRAC), recently discussed the pressing issue of isotope shortages in an interview with the Dutch broadcaster NOS. During the interview, Wim highlighted Europe's significant reliance on Russia's nuclear industry for the production of certain radioactive drug treatments, particularly those used in prostate cancer therapy. These treatments depend on processed raw materials that are predominantly sourced from Russia, underscoring a critical vulnerability in Europe's healthcare supply chain. Addressing this dependency is a key focus for the #EANM, which consistently advocates for the European Commission to implement measures aimed at reducing reliance on external sources. 🎤 Watch the interview (in Dutch): https://lnkd.in/dZJ2-fgf 📑 Read more (in Dutch): https://lnkd.in/ddB7ZDnx

Important for discovery and development of new targeting therapies.
The ongoing global developments in nuclear medicine highlight the pressing need to reduce Europe's dependence on external suppliers, particularly Russia, for critical isotopes used in cancer treatments. At the UMCG - Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Department, we are actively engaged in forging innovative partnerships that address these challenges head-on. One such partnership is with SHINE Europe B.V., led by Harrie Buurlage, this company is expanding its operations to Veendam with support from the Dutch government. Together with SHINE, we are working on groundbreaking projects focused on research and innovation on the production of essential isotopes—an initiative that aligns with the broader goals of the NGF_DECISIVE program supported by Future Affordable Sustainable Therapies. This Dutch initiative aims to strengthen the entire nuclear medicine value chain, from stable isotopes to patient treatment, through collaborative efforts between the government, academia, and industry. By bringing isotope production closer to home, we are not only ensuring greater security of supply for life-saving treatments like those for prostate cancer but also contributing to a more self-sufficient and resilient healthcare ecosystem in Europe. This partnership is just one of many steps we are taking to drive innovation in nuclear medicine and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Stay tuned for more updates on our joint projects with SHINE! #HealthcareInnovation #NuclearMedicine #PPP #Partnerships UMCG Rudi Dierckx Andor Glaudemans Alexander Gerbershagen UMCG Innovation Center Martin Smit Faculty of Science and Engineering - University of Groningen Matthijs de Jong #SustainableHealthcare

“Equity in health is non-negotiable” - Commissioner Stella Kyriakides “The final destination is a Europe without cancer” - European Parliament President Roberta Metsola A few days before the #WorldCancerDay, the European Commission held the "Europe's Beating Cancer Plan: Joining Forces" conference. Marked by impactful messages and compelling patient testimonials, the event underscored critical themes such as "prevention" and "accessibility." These pivotal aspects align with Nuclear Medicine Europe's resolute advocacy for enhanced patient access and early diagnosis. A crucial step forward involves harmonizing the legislative framework across Europe to ensure comprehensive improvement. #EUCancerPlan #WorldCancerDay #HealthUnion #radiopharmaceuticals #nuclearmedicine

The Swiss Business Hub Japan is excited to share a milestone video from Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative - DNDi, a non-profit organization making waves in the pharmaceutical research sector. Headquartered in Geneva with a pivotal office right here in Tokyo, DNDi is dedicated to changing the narrative for the world’s most vulnerable populations. 🔗 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/gGYUscrt Celebrating 20 years of groundbreaking work, DNDi's latest documentary, "Out of the Shadows," shines a light on the often-overlooked crises of neglected diseases. The film features the inspiring efforts of three DNDi scientists in Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sri Lanka, who are at the forefront of developing life-saving treatments. This poignant film not only reflects on DNDi's journey of bringing new hope and health to millions but also underscores their ongoing commitment to harnessing advanced science and technology, including AI, to fight against neglected diseases. Now with Japanese subtitles, we hope this film resonates deeply and inspires action here in Japan and beyond. Let's support DNDi in bringing critical healthcare solutions out of the shadows and into the spotlight. #DNDi #GlobalHealth #Innovation #NeglectedDiseases #HealthcareHeroes #switzerland #japan #pharmaceuticals Spread the word and help us raise awareness about this vital cause!

A newly FDA-approved blood test, developed by the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity at Fort Detrick and Abbott can detect signs of traumatic brain injury more quickly than before. This groundbreaking device uses biomarkers discovered by Banyan Biomarkers, #OrigiGator and graduate of UF Innovate | Accelerate at Sid Martin Biotech. The i-STAT Alinity device analyzes blood samples to detect elevated levels of Banyan’s biomarkers, UCH-L1 and GFAP, indicating brain bleeds or injuries. If the biomarkers are detected, patients can be swiftly transported for further diagnosis and treatment. USAMMDA leads medical product development for the U.S. Army, while Abbott Point of Care, a division of Abbott Laboratories, collaborated on this project. The partnership with Banyan Biomarkers signifies a major advancement, as Abbott received licensure from Banyan in 2019 to integrate the company's biomarkers into the i-STAT Alinity device.
