  • Develop new tracers and biomarkers applicable to molecular imaging.
  • Provide services to diagnose osteoporosis and evaluate body composition, using specific equipment (X-rays and ultrasound equipment).
  • Contribute to the development of new clinical care and follow-up pathways for patients, based on the imaging of metabolic tracers, notably in the field of oncology, cardiology, pediatrics and neuroscience.
