The Institute for Advanced Medical Isotopes (IAMI) will be the new home for TRIUMF’s Life Sciences program. Equipped with a new 24 MeV medical cyclotron, IAMI will add state-of-the-art laboratory facilities to help grow TRIUMF’s capacity in the area of life sciences, dramatically increasing our ability to help advance isotope-based diagnostic, and therapeutic treatments for a range of diseases, including cancer.

TRIUMF is advancing critical research through its capacity to produce world-leading amounts of Ac-225 – a promising cancer fighting isotope.

Kicked off by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during his visit to the laboratory in November 2018, IAMI’s construction is supported by contributions from the Province of British Columbia, the Government of Canada, TRIUMF, BC Cancer, BC Cancer Foundation, and UBC.
