DIAGBI: Theranostics of brain tumors using immuno-radiopharmaceuticals and nanotechnology

María José Alonso's Lab participates in the DIAGBI project for the early and non-invasive diagnosis of brain tumors. The main objective of DIAGBI is to develop a new technology that allows early diagnosis and non-invasive monitoring of the most aggressive brain tumors, glioblastomas, using immuno-PET techniques.
