Cardinal Health recently opened The Center for the Advancement of Molecular Imaging in Phoenix. The one-of-a-kind collaboration lab, which will bring about 20 new jobs to the area, is aimed at developing imaging technology to treat complex diseases.
In addition to making many nursing jobs in Arizona (Click here) easier, the lab will be hiring new employees to fill a number of high-tech positions. Current openings are for radio-chemists, engineers, scientists, product development managers, project managers, and quality regulatory personnel.
Employees at the lab will use state-of-the-art technology to help pharmaceutical companies and academic research institutions develop, test, and commercialize radiopharmaceuticals and Positron Emission Tomography imaging devices.
"The launch of The Center for the Advancement of Molecular Imaging is a strategic investment in the future of the molecular imaging and pharmaceutical industries," John Rademacher, president of Nuclear and Pharmacy Services for Cardinal Health, said in a statement.
"By helping pharmaceutical companies and academic research institutions accelerate innovation and reduce the time it takes to get new imaging agents to market, we can more accurately diagnose diseases earlier in their onset," he continued. "Ultimately, our goal is also to drive better patient outcomes by helping physicians track how well patients are responding to treatments."
The new center also will feature:
- Collaboration laboratory
- Fully functional, confidential, private guest laboratories
- State-of-the-art PET manufacturing facility
- Global PET Production Control Center
