Meet Dr Juliana Maynard – Head of Translational Imaging

Throughout my career, my radiopharmaceutical work has spanned all stages of development, from target biology, distribution, and dosimetry to translational modelling and clinical use. Despite this varied experience, I have mostly been driven by one objective: ensuring that preclinical data do more than simply demonstrate scientific promise. A core part of my role here at MDC is helping innovators design studies that answer the questions that investors and regulators care about most, early enough to enable decision-making, drive clear outcomes, and reduce risk in radiopharmaceutical development.
