MEDICIS

CERN MEDICIS is a research facility for producing radioisotopes for medical applications. The facility will use a proton beam at ISOLDE to produce the isotopes that are first destined for hospitals and research centres in Switzerland and will progressively extend to a larger laboratories in Europe and beyond.
