UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN

We support scientists and researchers through grants. We award research grants to projects that align with our purpose and impact goals. Researchers can receive funding for projects in the life sciences, radiochemistry, nuclear technologies and social studies focused on public engagement and awareness of nuclear industry... FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) is a radiopharmaceutical needed for nuclear imaging, like PET/CT scans. We provide a reliable supply of FDG to regional hospitals, which use it for diagnosing cancer. Last year, over 2400 patients received PET/CT scans using FDG made at our facility. Our staff also produces radiopharmaceuticals for research applications... We operate a Facility that includes a 24 MeV cyclotron and adjacent laboratories for the safe handling of nuclear substances. The Facility is one of a kind in Saskatchewan, supporting high-grade radiopharmaceutical production and innovation in nuclear imaging.
