Research abstract
Project Narrative
The research presented in this proposal intends to demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing
a mining byproduct (thorium) to generate the medically attractive isotopes Ra224 and
Pb212. The research will also demonstrate the conjugation efficiency of collected Pb212
to a peptide showing promise for targeting particular cancerous cells. The successful
completion of this research will provide a first-of-its-kind full-value-chain demonstration
for the commercial viability in production of these radioisotopes and mass delivery of
such drugs to the public.
