Administrative Core

Core Lead: Robert H. Mach PhD

The Administrative Core coordinates all activities associated with the CW₂IP₂. This includes monitoring the progress of the cores and projects through biweekly calls of the Center Executive Steering Committee and joint calls with the members of the Clinical Core, and organization of the bi-annual conference call and annual meeting of the External Liaison Committee. The Administrative Core also provides the oversight needed to direct the efficient operation of the CW₂IP on a day-to-day basis, such as the shipment of research materials between the different labs involved in the consortium and financial oversight.

Given the multi-site structure of the Medicinal Chemistry and Radiochemistry (MCRC) Core, a key component of the Administrative Core is the Center Executive Steering Committee, which consists of the site PIs of the MCRC core. The Executive Steering Committee is responsible for identifying which compounds identified as hits will be chosen for full evaluation in structure-activity relationship studies. The Administrative Core is also responsible for the obtaining regulatory approval for the PET radiotracers chosen for translation for first-in-human studies.
