ACADEMICS

Prof. Rösch’s research has led to more than 350 scientific publications in various chemical and radiochemical and radiopharmaceutical and nuclear medicine fields.

The list of publications is available on the homepage of the Working Group for Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry at the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.

Prof. Dr. Rösch is editor and co-editor of leading textbooks and compendiums in the fields of nuclear and radiochemistry and radiopharmaceutical chemistry, and author of numerous book chapters.

 

 

Nuclear and Radiochemistry:

Nuclear chemistry represents a vital field of basic and applied research. Modern applications cover, for example, fundamental aspects of energetics and high-sensitive, high-selective and non-destructive analytical technologies. Nuclear chemistry and radiopharmaceutical chemistry are increasingly used to bridge pharmaceutical and medical research with state-of-the-art non-invasive molecular diagnosis as well as with patient-individual treatment. While volume I on Introduction to Nuclear Chemistrydescribes the origin of unstable atoms and their pathways to stabilize, volume II illustrates the spectrum of modern applications of nuclear and radiochemistry.

Handbook of Nuclear Chemistry, Volume 1-6:
The Handbook set covers all of the chemical aspects of nuclear science starting from the physical basics and including such diverse areas as the chemistry of transactinides and exotic atoms as well as radioactive waste management and radiopharmaceutical chemistry relevant to nuclear medicine. The nuclear methods of the investigation of chemical structure also receive ample space and attention.

Theranostics, Gallium-68, and Other Radionuclides:

This book is based on contributions presented at the 1st World Congress on Gallium-68 and Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy, which examined recent developments in theranostics – the emerging field of molecular targeting of vectors that can be used for both diagnosis and therapy, when modified accordingly. The focus of this book is on the rapidly developing research into and clinical applications of gallium-68 and other generator-produced PET radionuclides in the personalized diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors and other diseases. In addition, new PET radiopharmaceuticals are considered, and the latest ideas and concepts, presented. Theranostics embodies both molecular and personalized medicine. It is at the cutting edge of medicine, and the contents of this volume will be of interest to chemists, physicians, and investigators dealing with generators, PET radiochemistry, molecular imaging, and radionuclide therapy.
