This important work happens every day at the University of Missouri Research Reactor to help improve lives around the world. “From initial research and development to production, quality assurance, and shipping – all of our radiopharmaceutical efforts are focused on the ultimate goal of treating patients and improving lives,” Matt Sanford, executive director.

The University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) is the only U.S. supplier of the radioisotope, produced using a propriety process developed at MURR.
