Nuclear medicine has evolved considerably over recent years with the emergence of radiotheranostics, a modality which combines targeted diagnosis and therapy with radio-isotopes. It offers an important and promising alternative in the treatment of many cancers. Radiotheranostics is based on the use of radioisotopes which, when they decay, emit radiation that enables cancer cells to be precisely located and/or destroyed. Among these radioisotopes, the alpha-emitting Actinium-225 is one of the most promising for therapeutic purposes.
One of the main challenges to making this therapeutic solution accessible for the greatest number of patients is ensuring the availability of high-quality Actinium-225 in large quantities. It is often referred to within the community as "the rarest drug on Earth". By joining their unique expertise and resources, SCK CEN and IBA have launched the company PanTera, which aims at enabling the production of large-scale quantities of Actinium-225.
In this context, PanTera is looking for an experienced Logistics Coordinator. The role is critical to customer satisfaction and supply reliability, particularly for time-critical, high-value, and regulated shipments, with a direct impact on patient access to essential therapies. By ensuring timely and compliant deliveries, you will directly contribute to making life-saving treatments accessible to patients worldwide.
