Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin - Berlin Experimental Radionuclide Imaging Center (BERIC) & Department of Nuclear Medicine

Key figures

• BERIC (for preclinical research) and the Department of Nuclear Medicine offer all modalities of modern hybrid small animal imaging with radiopharmaceuticals
• equipped with the latest state-of-the-art preclinical SPECT/CT and PET/MR sanners
• own R&D:
  • R&D and characterization of new radiotracers and theranostics for various tumor entities
  • new quantitative multi-parametric imaging approaches
  • imaging in the context of in vivo replacement models (such as chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane tumor systems)
     

We offer

• latest state-of-the-art preclinical SPECT/CT and PET/MR sanners
• tracer selection, tracer production
• in-vitro evaluation of tracers
• radiolabeling of ligands
• generation of (genetically modified) cell lines and rat and mouse models (orthotopic, subcutaneous and metastatic tumor, stroke, myocarditis models etc.)
• conduction of the animal experiments and housing of radioactive animals
• image and data analysis, data storage
• post-mortem tissue and organ sampling for biodistribution measurements and histopathology
• consulting and study design
