about RPO group

Radiomolecular Precision Oncology

The world of radiotheranostics is expanding rapidly; new targeted radiopharmaceuticals and new technologies to understand and image them are being invented faster than ever before. Navigating this evolving regulatory and clinical development landscape requires precision and experience from dedicated experts in the field. At RPO Group we offer the tools that you, our fellow innovators in radiotheranostics, will need to launch your clinical program.

The rise of Radiotheranostics in Clinical Management

The current radiotheranostic revolution – already well under way, and only getting stronger - is profoundly changing treatment paradigms for cancer patients, and may soon be among the most important pillars in clinical management.

See what you treat and treat what you see!

At RPO Group, we understand deeply the operational challenges that come with the transition from pre-clinical to clinical.
Moreover, there are further complexities of combining diagnosis and therapy on the back of a single targeting ligand. The advantages of this approach are tremendous, so our mission is to ensure that your molecule has every chance of succeeding.

We leverage expertise in drug-development and advanced radiomolecular imaging techniques (PET-CT, PET-MRI, SPECT-CT) to assist the strategic development of your program; gathering the evidence you need to take the next step. We can’t guarantee that a new drug will succeed, but we can ensure that with RPO’s commitment to scientific rigour and operational efficiency, you will have all of the information necessary to make the critical decisions for your pipeline.

Join the radiotheranostic revolution with RPO Group as your partner and begin changing patient’s lives today!
