A Window On SAHMRI

The Quiet Achievers Powering Patient Care | Chady Barkil & Dr Ed Robins

05 Mar 2025

Description

Ever had a PET scan? Well, it wouldn't have been possible without the use of radiopharmaceuticals, unique agents engineered to detect and treat disease. Chady Barkil, Director of SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit (MITRU), and Dr Ed Robins, Head of Research and Development, are leading the development and innovation of radiopharmaceuticals in South Australia. Operated by a team of talented radiochemists, MITRU's 'cyclotron' nuclear particle accelerator produces radiotracers on a daily basis, powering scans in clinics locally and across the nation. Always looking for the next big thing, Ed and Chady juggle their time between the constant demands of managing manufacturing, and the pursuit of new tracers with the potential for life-changing impact.
