Welcome to the History page of the SRS website!

With the input of several colleagues, SRS Past President — Heinz Coenen — recently published an article in NMB (Vols. 112-113) entitled, “A brief history of the Society of Radiopharmaceutical Sciences.” To access a free PDF of this article, click here. Thank you, Heinz, for your dedication to this effort!
