Selected Papers from 12th International Symposium on Targeted Alpha Therapy

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will be a collection of the best presentations from the 12^th International Symposium on Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT 12) conference held in Cape Town, South Africa from the 27^th of February to the 2^nd of March 2023. This 12th conference continued a successful series of international symposia on this topic initiated by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission in 1997 with  previous meetings in Karlsruhe (1997, 2000), Heidelberg (2002), Düsseldorf (2004), Aachen (2007), Toronto (2009), Berlin (2011), Oak Ridge (2013), Warsaw (2015), Kanazawa (2017) and Ottawa (2019).

The conference issue will provide information on the newest developments in preclinical studies, dosimetry and instrumentation, quality assurance, regulatory, targeting, radiochemistry, and nuclide production and supply of alpha-emitting radionuclides. This IJMS special issue will have a special emphasis on biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, molecular biophysics, molecular medicine in targeted alpha therapy applications. Since IJMS is a journal of molecular science, thus pure clinical studies will not suitable for our journal.

The special topics include:

• Pre-clinical Studies and Experiences
• Radiouclide Production/ Supply
• Radiochemistry
• Targeting and Delivery Systems, such as new chelation mechansims, nanocarriers, encapsulation approaches
• Quality and Regulatory Aspects (e.g. dealing with waste, FDA approvals etc.)
• Related Topics
