ims to create intense links between business, research and science."

"The field of molecular imaging is made attractive by the availability of excellent technical equipment and the vicinity of renowned academic institutions, such as Charité University Hospital and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine. This is a good environment for interdisciplinary exchange between academia and industry," confirms Professor Günter Stock, President of the Berlin-BrandenburgAcademy of Sciences and spokesperson of the network HealthCapital Berlin-Brandenburg. Researching novel agents to improve medical diagnostics has been a long tradition in Berlin. This is where the first commercially available X-ray contrast agent was developed - as early as 1931. Then in the late 1980s Berlin researchers developed the first contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), revolutionizing medical imaging.

About florbetaben

Florbetaben is an 18F-labeled tracer for use in positron emission tomography (PET), which specifically binds to beta-amyloid deposits in the brain, a key pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Florbetaben may in future contribute to the early detection of Alzheimer's disease and facilitate specific treatment. A Phase III trial previously presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology showed that PET imaging with florbetaben reliably detects beta-amyloid with great accuracy in the brains of living patients. The visual assessment procedure proposed for routine clinical practice demonstrated 100% sensitivity and 92% specificity.
