Overview of Services

The Cyclotron Radiochemistry Facility (CRF) at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center occupies 13,000 sq. ft. on the first floor of the South Campus Research Building 3 (SCRB3). The facility houses a cyclotron, seven radiochemistry manufacturing and quality control rooms, one nuclear pharmacy and laboratory space to support manufacturing of radiopharmaceuticals for clinical and preclinical use. Four of the manufacturing rooms operate under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) guidelines for the production of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals, while the other three are dedicated to the research and development of new tracers for preclinical studies. The Pharmacokinetics Laboratory (PKL), next to CRF, provides support for processing blood and urine samples from patients undergoing imaging studies using radiopharmaceuticals under clinical trials at CABI.
