Ali Younes is in charge of the Radiochemistry facility in the Department of Chemistry.
See Contact DetailsDr. Ali Younes is a radiochemistry research associate and a radiation safety officer, located in the Chemistry Department at Hunter College. His previous research included different areas of radiochemistry, nuclear chemistry and nuclear toxicology. He is also very experienced in inorganic materials synthesis, organic chelation chemistry development, radiopharmaceutical and environmental remediation.
Currently, Dr. Younes is involving in different research projects. His research is particularly focusing upon:1) the development and synthesis of decorporating agents (Chelation therapy) towards a new therapy for human in case of nuclear contamination, 2) understanding the mechanism of biodistribution and accumulation of highly toxic radioactive metals in human target organs upon internal injection or contamination, 3) production and processing of radionuclides for medical and fundamental applications, 4) development and evaluation of non-conventional materials for radionuclides separation, nuclear wastes remediation and medical isotope generators. In addition, as a Radiation Safety officer at Hunter College, he is leading the Radiation Safety program at Hunter College of the City University of New York.
