Canada’s leading research universities have recruited world-class scientific talent through an ambitious new research chairs initiative. Jonathan McConathy is joining McMaster University as an Eddie Goldenberg Research Chair in Molecular Imaging and Nuclear Theranostics. A radiologist and nuclear medicine physician, McConathy will accelerate the development, translation, clinical evaluation and commercialization of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosing and treating cancer and neurological diseases. Previously at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, McConathy and his wife, Suzanne Lapi, also a Goldenberg Research Chair at McMaster, will leverage McMaster’s world-class nuclear facilities and leadership in nuclear medicine. news.mcmaster.ca/years-in-th…
