Our 70,000 square-foot radioligand therapy (RLT) manufacturing site in Indianapolis, Indiana, opened in 2024. RLT is a type of precision treatment that pairs a tumor-targeting molecule (ligand) with a therapeutic radioisotope, allowing radiation to be delivered directly to the tumor while minimizing harm to surrounding healthy tissue. The site is being expanded to enable in-house production of isotopes, a critical radioactive component of these therapies.
