Nusano Named “Researcher of the Year” at Inaugural Best of BioHive Awards

21-02-2025

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah, Feb. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nusano, a physics company committed to bringing supply stability and innovation to radioisotope markets, was named “Researcher of the Year” at the inaugural Best of BioHive Awards on February 20, 2025, at The Depot in downtown Salt Lake City.

The award recognizes the technological breakthroughs of Nusano’s radioisotope production platform. Featuring an ion source invented by company co-founder and Chief Technical Officer, Glenn Rosenthal, the Nusano platform combines time-proven technology from universities and world-class research centers with the company’s patented particle acceleration technology. The result is the first significant advancement in radioisotope production in decades – a platform more efficient than existing methods and able to produce high volumes of more than 40 radioisotopes for healthcare and commercial uses.

“The Nusano team is transforming radioisotope production to improve cancer care and enable innovation in industries ranging from aerospace to alternative energy,” said Chris Lowe, CEO of Nusano. “We are honored to receive this award and look forward to creating and supporting continued investment in Utah’s vibrant business community.”

In healthcare, radioisotopes are essential components in the active pharmaceutical ingredients of a category of new and emerging cancer therapies, known as radiotherapeutics. Existing supply chains for these treatment-enabling resources are often strained, posing a risk to patient care, clinical trials, and ongoing drug development. Nusano’s role in the healthcare ecosystem is as a supplier of medical radioisotopes to drugmakers, hospitals and clinics. With a reliable supply of radioisotopes, these groups can then formulate treatments and next-generation pharmaceuticals needed to advance the fight against cancer.
