“The METPETS initiative is creating new opportunities for European collaboration to improve research and treatment of brain disorders through imaging neurotransmitters. At EuroBioForum in Lisbon it was clear that both the scientific community and the pharmaceutical industry have an interest in discussing how to develop this initiative further. MRC’s support aims to facilitate the process of developing METPETS so that interested parties can further explore how best to work together.” – Dr. Mark Palmer, Head of International Policy, Medical Research Council, UK.

"METPETS is an important initiative which hopes to pave the way for significant advancements in research into the causes of mental illness.  I am delighted that it has received such positive support from the European Science community and the MRC and look forward to seeing the initiative develop in 2008." – Professor Malcolm Anderson, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research, University of Bristol, UK.
