Radiopharmaceutical sciences
The scientific fundamental areas which enhance and support nuclear medicine, medical radiochemistry and radiopharmacy have been taught for years in cooperation with the University of Vienna. In particular "Medical Radiochemistry 1 und 2" or "Radiopharmaceutical Technology I und II" lectures are established at the Faculties of Chemistry and Life Sciences, allowing Bachelor, Diploma, Master, PhD students to acquire specific basic and "State-of-the-art” specialist knowledge. Furthermore the nuclear medicine scientists are also active in the area of compulsory and optional teaching modules at MedUni Vienna: SSM1 module and SOL are held on a regular basis.
In the area of PhD studies the group is already extremely actively represented in Clinical Neurosciences (CLINS) – Basic Seminars, Journal Clubs, PhD-Seminars – and is also highly involved in the set-up of the PhD "Medical Imaging" course through the exposed position and active cooperation in the Medical Imaging Cluster (MIC).
Teaching at the University of Applied Science on the Vienna Campus, in Wiener Neustadt and in Linz and Steyr is another mainstay. Here the radio-technologists of the future are trained on the corresponding bachelor degree course as well as on the MedTech master's study programme at the University of Applied Science of Wiener Neustadt which allow the "high potentials" a continuing academic career.
Last, but not least – a number of students from various specialisms were and are mentored during their on-site final thesis. This concerns, for example, bachelor theses of radio-technologists just as it does master theses of nutritionists, diploma theses of physicians and pharmacists or dissertations of chemists and pharmacists.
Medical Radiochemistry, VO (lecture)
Contact person: Assoc.-Prof. PD Dr. Wolfgang Wadsak
Parts 1 and 2 take place alternatively in the winter and summer semester and each include 2 credit hours. The first part primarily deals with the fundamentals on radio-markings, radionuclide production, radiation protection and nuclear medicine procedures in diagnostics and therapy; the second part is specifically concerned with the use of radioactive drugs in neuroimaging (e.g. Alzheimer imaging, molecular imaging in the dopaminergic and serotonergic system).
Radiopharmaceutical Technology and Experimental Nuclear Medicine, VO (lecture)
Contact person: Prof. PD Dr. Markus Mitterhauser
Parts 1 and 2 take place alternatively in the winter and summer semester and each include 2 credit hours. The lectures are held in close cooperation with the Department for Pharmaceutical Technology at the University of Vienna.
In the first part the basics of radio-pharmacy and nuclear medicine are conveyed. These basics incorporate above all radiation protection, important nuclear medicine examinations and problems, essential radio-pharmacy as well as aspects of safe production and quality control. The second part is to enhance, highlighting the fringe areas of molecular imaging (optical methods, other contrast agents from MR and CT applications), as well as looking more behind the scenes of the most important applications. It is therefore particularly important to work out with the students the relations, limitations and advantages and disadvantages of the respective methods.
Radiochemical Tutorials, UE
Contact person: Assoc.-Prof. PD Dr. Wolfgang Wadsak
These tutorials are organised by the University of Vienna, Department for Chemistry and offer the opportunity of a practical examination with a multitude of radiochemical procedures. They are held as a block of lectures usually within a 2-3 week period in December or January. The medical applications of radiochemistry are offered as part of a one day practical placement excursion.
Chromatography in qualitative and quantitative bio analytics - specialising in HPLC, SE (seminar)
Contact person: Dr. Lukas Nics
This seminar is organised via the department for nutritional science at the University of Vienna and offers students a general theoretical introduction into chromatography, specialising in the area of High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Towards the end of this block of lectures (mainly November-December) the students will have the opportunity to work with the equipment and analyse samples.
SSM1, Block07-Wissenschaft und Medizin; Auf strahlenden Pfaden - Nuklearmedizinische PET-Tracer Entwicklung, SE
Contact person: Dr.in Cécile Philippe, Dr. Lukas Nics
During this seminar the students get their first practical experience with literature searches, reading and the writing of a dissertation. They learn how a scholarly paper is composed and how a lecture is organised. The students figure this out by adopting a concrete topic which is disclosed at the time to the students.
SSM2, Block17-Methoden der Medizinischen Wissenschaften; Wie schnell metabolisiert ein Arzneistoff, SE
Ansprechpartner: Dr.in Cécile Philippe, Dr. Lukas Nics
During this seminar the students get in touch in experimental practical work. Based on a scientific question the students should learn to create an experimental plan, producing data using lab-devices, analysing them statistically and finally discuss the results on a scientific level.
