Dive into the cutting-edge world of nuclear medicine with this comprehensive course that blends theory and hands-on practice. In this one-week course, you will gain invaluable knowledge and skills at the forefront of medical imaging and targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies.

This course offers a unique opportunity to:

• Master the fundamentals of radiation physics and biology
• Explore state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic applications in oncology and neurology
• Gain practical experience handling radiopharmaceuticals in a laboratory setting
• Understand the latest developments in personalised medicine using radioactive tracers

Upon completing the course, you will be allowed to handle radiopharmaceuticals and open radioactive sources at Karolinska Institute and Karolinska University Hospital.

The course is aimed for you who want to get an understanding of the principles of PET, the methodology used for neuroreceptor imaging and quantification, as well as to get an insight in important research ongoing in the field and in the clinical applications of PET.

Neuroscience techniques are undergoing a rapid development. These developments open up new possibilities for investigating the brain as a network at various levels. We will introduce a range of advanced techniques which currently are being applied in neuroscience in particular to study brain networks. We aim at covering both the basics of the techniques and how they are applied to address specific research questions.

This course will provide up-to-date insights into the neurobiological basis of language. The course will be given by internationally leading researchers in the field. Students will learn how state-of-the-art methods and approaches are currently being applied, and what are the next big questions for the field.
