AbstractThis postgraduate certificate course consists of three 2-week-modules and enables natural scientists to assume responsibility for the small-batch production and quality control of radiopharmaceuticals.

Module II: Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry
6 x 4hours of laboratory practice in different locations (PSI, ETH Hönggerberg)
Objective• Introduction to radiopharmacy and physics
