Frederic Poineau

Frederic Poineau is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. His research focuses on the fundamental and applied chemistry of technetium, particularly the radioelement 99Tc and its medical isotope 99mTc.

• Research Interests: Fundamental chemistry of transition elements, development of 99mTc radiopharmaceuticals, and exploration of 99Tc waste storage forms.
• Key Areas: Synthesis and characterization of technetium solid-state compounds (halides, oxides, alloys, sulfides) for nuclear waste management, as well as low-valent molecular Tc complexes with ligands relevant to medical applications.
