Education

We offer training in radiopharmaceutical chemistry at the B.Sc., M.Sc. and doctoral levels at the University of Helsinki, primarily in the and . Additionally, we host Erasmus exchange students for M.Sc. thesis projects, and arrange for training opportunities in radiopharmaceutical chemistry outside of the department for example in hospital laboratories and industry in Finland and collaborating universities abroad.

For more information on training and thesis opportunities in the TRIM team, contact Associate Professor
