That is why our cooperation with universities throughout the country is extremely important, and it is strategically important with the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, because the NMIC of Radiology today is the developer and conductor of the latest methods of nuclear medicine in the treatment of cancer,” said Andrey Dmitrievich.
