Evaluation Report Publications of the Academy of Finland 1/11

Research quality
The unit has a long history of high-quality work, and has gained much expertise in 
radiochemistry. It is uniquely placed in Finland and is noted within Europe for its 
size and breadth. There appears to be excellent integration within the unit and a clear 
sense of future directions. Support from both industry and government is strong; for 
both partners, the unit appears to be a vital resource.
Radiopharmaceutical research is a relatively new area for the unit. However, given 
the increasing importance of nuclear medicine, it is an excellent development.
Given the level of funding and available resources, the publication rate is rather 
low but has been increasing of late.
