The research activities of the INM-5 focus on the production and development of radioactive probes (tracers) for the elucidation of structure, function and dysfunction of the brain. The investigations focus on neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's dementia, Parkinson's disease, etc.)
but also on tracers for the detection and treatment of tumors. For this research, a unique infrastructure with cyclotron, radiochemical and preclinical laboratories is available at the INM-5 and allows an efficient translation of research into the clinic.
