Eva-Alexandra Salvanou is a PhD candidate working on Nuclear Medicine in conjunction with Nanomedicine at the Radiochemical Studies Laboratory of the Institute of Nuclear and Radiological Sciences and Technology, Energy and Safety of NCSR “Demokritos”, since November 2017.

Having graduated with a Master’s Degree in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), she continued implementing the knowledge gained, by starting a doctorate’s degree at the School of Pharmacy of the University of Patras. Her research focuses on the radiolabeling of nanoparticles for theragnostic purposes on the oncology field. Her professional career at the Radiochemical Studies Laboratory includes working with different isotopes (⁶⁷Ga, ⁶⁸Ga, ¹⁷⁷Lu, ²²⁵Ac, ^99mTc), and various nanostructures (e.g. iron, gold). Experience with cell cultures and cytotoxicity assays has been gained as well as knowledge and hands-on experience on laboratory animals not only by acquiring the FELASA accredited Course 056/16 (6th Laboratory Animal Science European Union Functions Course (Functions A,B,C,D)) but also by performing in vivo experiments for her research project.
