Case Western Reserve University Selects Cubresa’s NuPET™ System to Support Preclinical Research Activities

WINNIPEG, Manitoba--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) has selected Cubresa’s Preclinical NuPET™ Insert System to add to their suite of imaging tools.

The NuPET 66 will support research in a wide range of application areas including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis, leukodystrophies, and polycystic kidney disease.

“The NuPET insert from Cubresa will uniquely complement our active quantitative MRI research program at CWRU”, remarked Dr. Chris Flask, Professor and Director of the Imaging Research Core at the School of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University. “Since this new PET insert system will be implemented in our shared-use imaging facility at CWRU, it will enhance the research for many biomedical researchers in the Cleveland area by directly supporting imaging and therapeutic development for multiple diseases.”

“We are very pleased to be working with Case Western Reserve”, said James Schellenberg, Ph.D., Cubresa’s Founder and CEO. “We are excited that Cubresa’s NuPET technology will support imaging in a breadth of disease research areas.
