Dear Colleague:

The Society of Radiopharmaceutical Sciences (SRS) is a global society focused on the development of radiopharmaceutical science and education. Historically, face-to-face meetings have been held in North America, Europe, Asia/Oceania. Now, following the recent growth in the number of nuclear facilities, radiopharmacy students, workers and researchers in Latin America (LA), the SRS is assisting in the organization of the first LA meeting to provide insights on how we can work together to develop radiopharmaceutical sciences in the region.

The program of the event is organized to deliver general information about installations, educational programs and international support to students and researchers. Additionally, eSRS LA will offer keynote talks to discuss the basics of radiopharmacutical sciences and molecular imaging, and to stimulate the engagement of younger LA researchers and practitioners. With SRS support and the agreement of the organizing committee, some keynote talks (focused on oncology and neurology imaging and therapy) will be presented by international speakers. Importantly, the event will also cover the latest research from students and early career researchers in the scientific sessions, thus turning the spotlight on the younger generation of radiopharmacists in LA.

We hope this will be the first step in the integration of LA radiopharmaceutical community with the SRS and its global network of excellence.

Sincerely,

Antony Gee – SRS President
