Cyclopharm Limited (CYC) is pleased to announce it has entered into a Joint Venture with Alfred Health Solutions (AHS) to provide medical imaging services to Macquarie University Hospital (MUH). This strategic initiative represents a rare opportunity to provide a fully aligned and integrated diagnostic, therapeutic and research platform at Macquarie University Hospital. The alliance also represents a key milestone in Cyclopharm’s mission to continue to develop solutions that improve patient care outcomes. The Joint Venture will provide patient’s at the new hospital and neighbouring suburbs access to state of the art imaging facilities including Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanning. PET is clinically proven to better identify the location and extent of certain active cancer cells in the body and is the fastest growing nuclear medicine diagnostic imaging modality in the world.
MUH is a $180 million development that will establish a major medical precinct within the Macquarie University Research Park to complement the Australian School of Advanced Medicine (ASAM). ASAM offers advanced training for doctors, in surgery and medical research and brings together world class clinicians, researchers and medical educators to create an innovative training program with a focus on future trends in medicine. AHS and its partner Alfred Medical Imaging are an outstanding collection of dedicated radiology and nuclear medicine specialists. Alfred Medical Imaging have experience in neurological, musculoskeletal, interventional, gastroenterological, respiratory and endocrine disorders and specialise in modern imaging techniques such as vascular Computed Tomography (CT) of the brain, heart and lower limbs. Cyclopharm’s facilities at MUH represent the first commercial radiopharmaceutical production centre to be located within a hospital in Australia. The site will house a cyclotron and a commercial isotope production facility. The facility will focus on the manufacture and development of a number of injectable radiopharmaceuticals used in PET scanning.
