About
RCF is a combined core facility of Karolinska University Hospital (RCF-K) and Karolinska Institutet (RCF-KI). The main purpose of RCF is to facilitate and promote the use and development of radiotracers and radiopharmaceuticals in translational research, from preclinical to clinical applications within different areas. The development of novel radiotracers at RCF can be broadly applied for imaging research, for example in oncology, psychiatry, neurodegeneration, inflammation and cardiovascular diseases.
