Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance Manager
Brian G. Hockley, B.S.
Brian Hockley received his B.Sc. in chemistry from The University of Western Ontario in 2001. Mr. Hockley then moved to the US to pursue radiopharmaceutical research and development with Dr. Michael Kilbourn and Dr. Scott Snyder at the University of Michigan Medical School with specific interest in radioligand development and clinical translation of research radiopharmaceuticals.
In his current position as Radiopharmaceutical Quality Assurance Manager, Mr. Hockley is implementing a systems approach to quality assurance to meet current USP and cGMP compliance standards. This system is grounded in the quality-by-design model, the most current thinking of the FDA and ICH, which facilitates reliable on-demand clinical service.
Mr. Hockley has co-authored several articles, on [18F]fluoroalkyl derivatives of dihydrotetrabenazine and bezovesamicol for use in imaging the dopaminergic and cholinergic systems, as well as “Solid-Phase Radiochemistry”, a chapter in the Wiley publication “Linker Strategies in Solid-Phase Organic Synthesis”. His current research interests focus on early detection strategies in oncology and neurodegenerative disorders.
