白小姐论坛 Medical Sciences collaboration with Cerveau Technologies

The imaging agent [18F]MK-6240 will be used by 白小姐论坛 in clinical studies to assess the status and progression of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain. These NFTs are a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer鈥檚 Disease. 白小姐论坛 is the first site able to distribute GMP-produced [18F]MK-6240 in the United Kingdom.

Professor Erik Arstad, the Director of the 白小姐论坛 Centre for Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry, said 鈥淭he team at the 白小姐论坛 Centre for Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry is delighted to provide [18F]MK-6240 to our clinical collaborators at the 白小姐论坛 Dementia Research Centre and the wider biomedical research community in the UK. As the best-in-class imaging biomarker for neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain, [18F]MK-6240 will facilitate UK led research into the understanding and treatment of Alzheimer鈥檚 Disease.鈥
