2011 Student Bursary Recipients

The Mission of the Society of Radiopharmaceutical Sciences (SRS) emphasizes that our Society is an "organization dedicated to the advancement of excellence in education and research in radiopharmaceutical sciences in the study and use of radiopharmaceuticals." An important goal of the SRS is to provide an inclusive and supportive environment for early career trainees and scientists and increase the number of qualified professionals in our field. In this regard, the SRS provides support in the form of bursaries for students and post-doctoral fellows to participate in high-quality national and international meetings and educational programs that are sponsored, co-sponsored or directly related to radiopharmaceutical sciences. These meetings and courses provide an outstanding learning environment to stimulate creative research discussions and provide a powerful educational tool for those new to the field. It is important to acknowledge the students and trainees who were selected to receive partial or full support from the SRS for participation in radiopharmaceutical science meetings and the educational programs. The intent of the SRS is to publish a list of students and post-doctoral fellows receiving SRS bursaries in the Nuclear Medicine and Biology Journal each year and post the list on the SRS website to keep our membership informed about the extent SRS is contributing to our educational mission in this manner. The students and trainees receiving SRS support in 2010 are listed below and on the next page. The SRS gratefully acknowledges support provided by the Office of Science (BER), U.S. Department of Energy, Grant No. DE-SC0001427 for supporting ten (10) U.S. students and trainees to participate in the Terachem-2010 meeting.
