Congratulations to Ines Costa on her second first author paper from her PhD work, this time in the “Red” journal –> In Vitro and Preclinical Systematic Dose-Effect Studies of Auger Electron- and β Particle-Emitting Radionuclides and External Beam Radiation for Cancer Treatment. Ines used our NIS reporter gene approach to comparatively determine and report reference dose-effect data using cell and tumor models for [^99mTc]TcO₄^–, [¹²³I]I^–, and [¹⁸⁸Re]ReO₄^– for the first time. We further demonstrate the tumor-controlling effects of [¹²³I]I^– and [¹⁸⁸Re]ReO₄^– in comparison with external beam radiation therapy. Great 3-way collaboration between King’s College London (Samantha Terry and me) and National Physics Laboratories (Giuseppe Schettino).
