Thanks for writing this, it clarifys a lot. It’s truly amazing how the UK is leveraging nuclear tech for precise cancer therapies. That little appetite protein bit is fascinating; it makes me wonder how much our bodies trick us, like after a Pilates class. So much to learn about us.
Strong rundown on the lead-212 infrastructure play. The UK essentially turning nuclear waste into oncology supply chain leverage is clever, especially when most targeted alpha therapy programs are still bottlenecked by isotope availability. I worked on a small radiopharm project a couple years back and the procurement timelines for these isotopes were brutal, like trying to coordinate delivery schedules with a supplier who only ships once a month. The connection between manufactring capacity and clinical viability gets overlooked alot but it's what seperates compounds that scale from those stuck in perpetual Phase 2.
Glad you enjoyed the issue! Could not agree more RE manufacturing and clinical viability...manufacturing is the key that unlocks actual patient impact.
Fascinating that you've got firsthand experience of procuring these isotopes - thanks for sharing!
