The 2024 Metals in Medicine GRC will explore metal chelation strategies
for radiation protection and the use of metal-based therapeutics to
treat infectious diseases and cancer. The latest advances in the
evaluation of metal-based agents for X-ray, light, or sono-dynamic
therapies, and of radiometal-labeled agents as theranostics will be
presented. Metallomics research that includes the role of metals in the
pathogenesis of cancer and their role in immune system evasion will be
featured. To complete the cycle from discovery to clinical translation,
the latest metal-based agents that are now in clinical trials for the
treatment of different diseases and for imaging will be discussed.
