The ECA project “Production of 99mTc using a medical cyclotron” enabled me to get started with solid targets for the accelerator production of radioisotopes. It also helped me expand my group with the addition of a new postdoctoral fellow and gain visibility in the radioisotope community via our presentations and publications. The data and knowledge gained through this project paved the way for additional isotope production-related projects including funded proposals related to 64Cu, 52Mn, 76,77Br and 43,47Sc as well as our training program at UAB.
