Dear Colleague,

Welcome at the website of the 14th International Workshop on Targetry and Target Chemistry (WTTC14).

This Workshop will be held in the Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico, August 26 through 29, 2012.

This series of workshops was initiated for the purpose of exchanging information about the problems and solutions associated with the production of radioisotopes for biomedical research and their applications to the diagnosis and treatment of disease. The goal of the WTTC is to advance the science associated with radioisotope production targetry. The Workshops are designed to bring experienced targetry scientists together with newcomers to the field, both from industry and academia, to discuss issues of targetry and target chemistry and approaches to exploring in situ target chemistry and the engineering required to optimize production yields. In these workshops, experience, ideas and information are freely and openly shared; learning and collaborations are fostered, with active participation by all attendees. This participation includes both formal and informal sessions. The ultimate goal is to improve targetry as a science based upon understanding of targetry and target radiochemistry in terms of physical and chemical parameters that can be predicted, the predictions tested and applied to practice in the field.

We look forward to meeting you in Mexico.

On behalf of the organizing committee,

Miguel A. Avila-Rodriguez, Ph.D.
Chairman of the WTTC14
