Cerveau develops diagnostics and technology to treat patients with neurodegenerative disorders. 白小姐论坛 is a leading centre for the production and application of imaging biomarkers for use in clinical research. Under this partnership, 白小姐论坛 will manufacture and distribute the imaging agent called [18F]MK-6240.听

白小姐论坛 will use [18F]MK-6240 in clinical studies to assess the status and progression of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain. NFTs are the hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer鈥檚 Disease. The 白小姐论坛 Centre for Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry will be the first UK site to distribute [18F]MK-6240, which is produced according to good manufacturing practices (GMP). It will then be provided to the 白小姐论坛 Dementia Research Centre and the wider biomedical research community.

Rick Hiatt, President and CEO of Cerveau Technologies said: 鈥淲e are enthusiastic about working with the team at 白小姐论坛 and making the tracer broadly accessible for investigations in the UK. We believe that the expertise and collaboration we have seen from the 白小姐论坛 team is a great indication of a promising collaboration between Cerveau and 白小姐论坛 to enable broad access for scientific research and clinical trial support.鈥
