SOCIETY OF RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES

What SOCIETY OF RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES does

The Society of Radiopharmaceutical Sciences (SRS) is a nonprofit professional society founded in 2001 with roots in radiopharmaceutical chemistry communities dating to the 1970s. It is headquartered in Fredericksburg, Texas, operates with approximately five employees, and serves the global community of academic and industrial scientists working in radiopharmaceutical sciences and theranostics. Its core offerings are a tiered individual membership program (Full, Student, and Developing Country dues on a two-year cycle), a portfolio of conferences including the biennial International Symposium on Radiopharmaceutical Sciences (iSRS), the newer TERACHEM conference for the theranostics community, the CAFACHEM summer school, workshops, and an affiliated peer-reviewed journal, Nuclear Medicine and Biology.

SRS is funded through a mix of individual membership dues, corporate sponsorships (Comecer at Platinum, Ratio Therapeutics at Gold, with GE Healthcare, Telix, and Bruker among named partners), conference registration fees, and philanthropic contributions such as the Hot Atom Fund, which has received over $500,000 in pledges. The Society partners with academic institutions including the University of Padova, the University of Michigan, the Paul Scherrer Institute, and the Chinese-Japanese-Korean Association of Radiopharmaceutical Sciences (CJKARS) to host events and support student travel, signaling a distributed, multi-region operating model rather than a centralized commercial enterprise.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM): ISMRM is a scientific society for MRI research with an analogous membership, annual meeting, and journal model. It is structurally comparable to SRS as a modality-focused scientific society, although its modality focus is MR rather than radiopharmaceuticals.
• Society for Biological Engineering (SBE): SBE is a professional community within AIChE focused on biological engineering. It is a smaller, structurally comparable scientific society with membership and conference offerings relevant to bioengineering and bioprocess aspects of radiopharmaceutical development.

Broad incumbents

• Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO): BIO is the largest trade association for the biotechnology industry. While a trade association rather than a scientific society, it competes for corporate sponsorship budgets from the same radiopharmaceutical and nuclear medicine companies that sponsor SRS events.
• American Chemical Society (ACS): ACS is a large-scale general chemistry professional society publishing multiple journals including those intersecting radiopharmaceutical chemistry. While much broader in scope, ACS serves as a structural peer for how SRS organizes membership, conferences, and journal partnerships.
• American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS): AAPS is a professional society for pharmaceutical scientists with a comparable membership-and-conference model. It serves as a structural peer in organizing industry-sponsored scientific exchange in pharmaceutical sciences, with overlap in pharma industry sponsorship pools.
• American Association for Cancer Research (AACR): AACR is a major cancer research professional society with a comparable membership-plus-conference-plus-journal model. It overlaps with SRS in translational researchers and oncology-focused radiopharmaceuticals, and competes for the same pharma industry sponsorship dollars.
• Radiological Society of North America (RSNA): RSNA is a large professional society for radiologists with overlapping membership in clinicians using radiopharmaceuticals. While not focused on radiopharmaceutical chemistry, it shares the scientific society business model, journal, and large industry exhibition economics.

Direct peers

• Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI): SNMMI is the leading US-based professional society for nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. It directly overlaps SRS in scientific community, journal partnerships (SNMMI publishes Journal of Nuclear Medicine), and serves the same radiopharmaceutical scientists, clinicians, and industry partners.
• World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS): WMIS is a global scientific society focused on molecular imaging, a field tightly overlapping with radiopharmaceutical sciences. It organizes the World Molecular Imaging Congress and is one of the closest category peers to SRS in both scientific scope and society scale.
• European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM): EANM is the primary European professional society for nuclear medicine. It operates an analogous membership, annual congress, and journal (European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging), and overlaps significantly with SRS in radiopharmaceutical sciences membership and industry sponsorship pools.
