Following a decade of imaging to support research and clinical trials at ANSTO and the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre at Camperdown, two PET scanners have been transferred to the University of Wollongong.

The first National Graduate Innovation Forum will be held in November to connect PhD students with representatives from four of Australia’s leading industries to apply scientific thinking to current real-world challenges. 

ANSTO recently hosted a public Ask Us Anything event on nuclear medicine, sharing information on how we safely manufacture and distribute nuclear medicine across Australia each week to hundreds of hospitals and clinics.

Researchers have discovered a 380-million-year-old heart – the oldest ever found – alongside a separate fossilised stomach, intestine and liver in an ancient jawed fish, shedding new light on the evolution of our own bodies.

The start of ANSTO’s research to support the Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future (SAEF) program commenced with the official launch of the program and the departure of two students from Queensland University of Technology (QUT), who are affiliated with ANSTO to Antarctica’s Macquarie Island for six months to collect environmental samples as part of the (SAEF) program.

This joint initiative at ANSTO has developed a new capability: solid surface radiolabelling to evaluate Auger emitting sources for next-generation targeted therapy.

ANSTO scientists were members of an inter-disciplinary team led by the University of Sydney, who examined six 19th century West African swords, using a non-invasive multi-methodological approach to reveal the composition and manufacturing history of the iron implements.

With enhanced submicron spatial resolution, speed and contrast, the Micro-Computed Tomography beamline opens a window on the micron-scale 3D structure of a wide range of samples relevant to many areas of science including life sciences, materials engineering, anthropology, palaeontology and geology. MCT will be able to undertake high-speed and high-throughput studies, as well as provide a range of phase-contrast imaging modalities.
