The National PET Imaging Platform (NPIP)

is the UK's first-of-its-kind national total-body positron emission tomography (PET) imaging platform for drug discovery.

NPIP is a partnership between Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC), the Medical Research Council (MRC) and Innovate UK. It brings together transformational research from state-of-the-art total-body PET imaging scanners to transform medical research and industrialise cutting-edge technology, enhancing the quality and speed of drug discovery.

BNMS members can engage with NPIP through annual and local scientific meetings.
NPIP welcomes collaboration and would be delighted to partner with BNMS members in their research and development programmes.
