Our Company was founded by a group consisting of UCLA and Caltech faculty along with imaging industry professionals who are committed to accelerating the transfer of new healthcare technologies from the laboratory to the clinical and commercial environment. Sofie respects the requirements and policies of the educational institutions at which innovation starts, and believes the interests of all participants in successful University-Industry Partnerships can be linked to provide academic programs and imaging, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies with new opportunities to diversify, simplify, and lower the cost of molecular imaging with PET. It is our desire and hope that others will join us in this new world.
