This eighth-in-a-series of scientific talks will focus on cutting edge research in Chemical Biology from both academic and industry labs in the areas of translational chemical biology, machine learning, novel target identification and validation, chemical imaging, as well as new chemical modalities.
This day-long symposium will be followed by a reception with appetizers and refreshments for the symposium speakers and attendees.
We wish to thank all of the sponsors and volunteers from industry who are making this possible. Our organizers are pleased to continue this fall tradition this year and in the coming years; please be in contact with us if you are interested in participating in future symposia through volunteering, through sponsorship, or other means.
Registration information:
Please note: we expect these tickets to sell out. Tickets are available in two waves (labeled: day 1 and day 2 – just denoting the day they go on sale). Wednesday, August 12 at noon and Thursday, August 13 at 5 pm. You may join the waitlist after the day 1 tickets sell out, but you should try to purchase in the second wave. If tickets are sold out after the second wave, you will find the waitlist under Day 1.

Join us for the inaugural NESACS Radiopharmaceutical Sciences Symposium. This symposium brings together leaders from academia and industry to explore the latest advances in radiochemistry, molecular imaging, and drug development, showcasing applications in neuroscience, oncology, immunology, and beyond. Whether you’re a chemist, biologist, clinician, or student, you won’t want to miss this event!
Our Featured Speakers are:
- Keynote speaker: Michelle James, Stanford University — From Barriers to Breakthroughs: Advancing PET Tracers to Detect and Track Immune Responses in CNS Diseases
- Mohammad Rashidian, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and HMS — Noninvasive Imaging of Inflammation
- Hua Ma, Martinos Center, MGH, HMS — Development of a PET Probe for Imaging Renal Fibrogenesis
- Nicole Zurcher, Martinos Center, MGH, HMS — Molecular Imaging Applications in Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Brendon Cook, Biogen — Assessing Drug Distribution With Click Chemistry
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with fellow researchers, ask questions, and discover new collaborations across the Northeast radiopharmaceutical community.
Directions/Transportation:
DRIVING DIRECTIONS: The address is 41 Hampshire St, Cambridge, MA 02139. This is at the intersection of Cardinal Medeiros Ave, Hampshire St and Portland St in Cambridge.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Nearest subways stop is Kendall/MIT (approx 10-12 min walk). Several buses will get you closer to Dante Alighiere.
PARKING: After 5 pm, the Dante Alighieri Society of Massachusetts hall has a small parking lot that can accommodate approximately thirty cars. Please do not park in the lot before 5 pm as you risk getting towed. The parking lot is accessed off of Cardinal Medeiros Ave. Use caution when entering and exiting the parking lot.
The closest parking garage is at the One Kendall Square Garage located at 389 Binney St. Cambridge, MA 02139, about a 4 min walk. This option is likely to be expensive. Consider booking online ahead.
There are several other Parking Garages in the area, some have mixed online reviews. Another option is to head over to Albany Street. The MIT The Albany Street Garage (36 Albany St) can be accessed after 2:30 pm at the normal parking rate ($11 in 2025) – you may have to ask an attendant or someone else for access.
Street parking in the immediate block doesn’t really exist near the building due to resident only parking and bike lanes.
