Experience the Many Benefits of Working with Mizzou

Partnering with the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) in Columbia grants you access to the largest, most capable university research reactor in North America, along with top talent in radiochemistry, radioisotope development, nuclear research, and clinical product development.

Let's work together

Sponsored Research and Development

MURR partners with industry, government, and academic collaborators to advance sponsored research and development and supports innovation from early discovery through clinical application and commercialization, translating ideas into real-world impact.

Isotopes and Irradiations

Operators at MURR routinely produce GMP-grade Lutetium-177, Iodine-131, and Terbium-161 for radiolabeling applications. Contact the BD team if you are interested in these or other finished radioisotopes. The 10 MW reactor at MURR is also capable of irradiating target material to produce many isotopes of interest.

Conduct Clinical Research

MU Health Care and the College of Veterinary Medicine are actively conducting radiopharmaceutical clinical trials in human and/or animal subjects for a variety of applications. Please contact BD and view the Clinical Trials webpage for more information.

Co-locate with MURR

MURR’s unique capabilities, our location in the center of the country, and the abundance of university-owned property in Columbia, Missouri, make it an ideal location for site partnerships. Contact the BD team for more information on opportunities to locate within MURR, adjacent to the reactor, or at future expansion sites in Columbia.

Develop Your Workforce

MURR helps develop the next generation of highly skilled nuclear and radiopharmaceutical professionals through hands-on research, training, and industry collaboration.

Industry Applications

Nuclear structural materials irradiation and post-irradiation examination, neutron scattering, neutron radiography, and archaeometry are just a few of the industry-supporting capabilities at MURR beyond medical isotope supply. Contact the BD team for an introductory call to discuss your needs.

Make MURR a key component of

Your competitive advantage

MURR is more than a research reactor. It represents a center of gravity on the campus of a world-class research institution where academia and industry intersect. With so many unique capabilities in one place, an expansive partnership with MURR could allow you to realize efficiencies in your research, product development, isotope supply, and clinical evaluations in a centralized location.
