About
Brandon Maraglia is a leading figure in the development of automated radiochemistry platforms for positron emission tomography (PET) tracer production. His primary research focuses on advancing the engineering and automation of radiosynthesizers to improve safety, reproducibility, and accessibility in the production of diverse PET tracers. Maraglia’s most notable contribution is the design and validation of the ELIXYS system, a fully automated, three-reactor high-pressure radiosynthesizer introduced in his 2013 paper, which has garnered 28 citations. This work addressed critical challenges in the field by enabling both development and routine production of a wide array of tracers while minimizing operator radiation exposure and ensuring consistent yields. The ELIXYS platform represents a significant step forward from traditional single-reactor systems, offering enhanced flexibility for complex radiochemistry. Maraglia’s engineering approach has helped shape the modern trend toward disposable, kit-based synthesizers, making PET tracer production more practical for clinical and research settings. His contributions are particularly valued by radiochemists and nuclear medicine researchers seeking reliable, automated solutions for advancing molecular imaging.
