In recent years, short-lived radioisotopes (RIs) have been actively used and applied in a wide range of fields, not only in fundamental sciences such as physics and chemistry but also in biological fields for identifying the movement of elements within organisms and in medical fields such as cancer therapy and PET diagnosis.
On April 1, 2024, Research Center for Accelerator and Radioisotope Science (RARIS) Tohoku University has been established, which merges two internal research centers among Tohoku University with high short-lived RIs production capacity, i.e., the Research Center for Electron Photon Science and the Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center.
With the establishment of the Research Center for Accelerator and Radioisotope Science, a new research hub has been created for studies in nuclear physics, radiochemistry, nuclear medicine, radiopharmacology, and biomedical engineering using short-lived RIs. Furthermore, the unique characteristics and synergy between electron beams and ion beams will enable the development of new research grounded in short-lived RIs.
