David M Smith

I've been active supporting nuclear medicine since 1988 when I was first trained on servicing Siemens ZLC and their whole body scanners. Transitioned into PET in 1991 planting the first three cyclotrons in the southeast working for Siemens, then in house at Wake Forest Baptist and side duties in MRI while a Clinical Engineer. I stepped back into industry in 2001 working as level 3 support (Americas) for GE Healthcare till 2007. I then held a position as general manager of PET for UPPI, then as Director of Technical Services for IBA Molecular (currently Sofie) during the period of adopting FDA Part 212 guidlines. After these positions I became an independent service provider and consultant focusing on production facilities and new molecule tech transfers with over 14 years advancing liquid and solid target isotope products, GMP production design, and wholeistic operation guidance.
