Since 2015, Orano Med has been working in association with selected international scientific partners in the field of cancer research: research institutes such as the National Cancer Institute (NCI) or INSERM, biotechs such as RadioMedix or Nordic Nanovector and the pharmaceutical laboratory Roche.
An additional production unit in France
Currently in the design phase, a future lead-212 production unit will soon increase the production capacities of the LMT and DDPU.
