Rune Sundset

Rune Sundset is an Associate Professor at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, affiliated with the Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Biology research group. His work focuses on radiopharmaceutical development, molecular imaging, and liposomal drug delivery systems.

• Research themes: Radioligand design, PET/SPECT imaging optimization, and nanoparticle-biology interactions
• Key collaborations: European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, BMC Research Notes, and Acta Physiologica

Recent publications highlight his contributions to:

• Development of Cu-67 and Ga-68 radiotracers for tumor imaging
• Liposomal formulations for arginase inhibition in cancer therapy
• Machine learning applications in dynamic PET imaging
• Sphingolipid effects on liposome uptake by human phagocytes

In the SECURE project, he investigates radioligand therapy and imaging biomarkers. His research group (NMRB) spans nuclear medicine, radiation biology, and biomedical engineering, with applications in glioblastoma, prostate cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.
