After graduating at the Gymnasium Markt Schwaben (Bavaria, grade 1.8) in 1998, Markus Hartenbach completed his studies in human medicine at the University of Ulm as part of a career as a medical officer of the German Federal Armed Forces in 2005. From 2005 to 2007 he was admitted to the nuclear medicine section of the Armed Forces Hospital Ulm and received his doctorate degree in 2006 from the University of Ulm on the topic "[11C] choline-PET / CT in primary prostate cancer". During this time he has already developed the prospective clinical drug study "Evaluation of choline positron emission tomography, combined by software fusion with magnetic-resonance imaging, in the pre-therapeutic staging of prostate carcinoma" (EudraCT no .: 2006-003933-33; ClinicalTrials .gov no. NCT00520546) and applied successfully to the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) as well as to the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) and the Ethics Committee of the University of Ulm. Furthermore, he received third-party funding for this study in the total amount of approx. € 200,000. He completed the certification as principal investigator for clinical studies of the Competence Center Clinical Trials (KKS) of the University of Tübingen. In 2014 he achieved the drug approval for [¹⁸F]Fluoroethylcholine for prostate cancer imaging (FEC-Max, Solution for injection) together with the former company E & Z Radiopharma GmbH. This was published in the 2014 Top Journal Clinical Cancer Research (IF 10.2).

2007-2008 he worked as a science officer at the Institute for Radiobiology of the German Federal Armed Forces in Munich. During this time he developed and applied the preclinical cooperation project "Multimodal imaging for the detection, localization and prognostic estimation of an exposure by ionizing irradiation" together with the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, Clinic and Polyclinic for Nuclear Medicine (Medical Director: Prof. Peter Bartenstein) and received € 210,000 in external funding for this project. This project was carried out in the years 2010 to 2013 under his direction at the LMU Munich. In 2008 he received the Golden Cross of Honor for the above mentioned prospective clinical drug study on prostate cancer. In the years 2008-2009 he was promoted to senior medical officer in the nuclear medicine section of the Federal Armed Forces Hospital Ulm, 2010-2011 as a ward physician and expert physician at PET / CT of the Department of Nuclear Medicine of the LMU Munich and 2011-2012 as radiology resident at the Armed Forces Hospital Ulm for CT and MRI training. In 2012, after obtaining the board certification for nuclear medicine, he took over the deputy head position of nuclear medicine at the Federal Armed Forces Hospital Ulm. In the same year, he won the Nuclear Oncology Council's Young Investigator Award from the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM 2012, Miami Beach, FL, USA). After parental leave in 2013, he took over the position of the divisional head of the PET / MRI scanner in the clinical department of nuclear medicine at the Vienna General Hospital (Director: Prof. Marcus Hacker). In 2015 he won the Cuno Winkler Prize of the German Society for Nuclear Medicine as the highest prize awarded by the German Society of Nuclear Medicine (DGN). In addition to numerous presentations at national and international congresses (SNM, EANM, DGN, DGHNO) and lecture invitations on PET / MRI in prostate cancer (eg Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, International PET / MRI workshop Tübingen, ECR, SNM) he teached at the MedUniWien incl. doctoral / diploma supervision and the coordination of interdisciplinary research projects on prostate cancer. Since 2013, together with BSM Diagnostika GmbH and Siemens Healthineers, he has developed and applied for the prospective randomized clinical trial "Randomized Assessment of patients with clinically suspected prostate cancer after multiparametric metabolic hybrid imaging to evaluate its potential clinical domain - The RAPID study ", which was approved in 09/2015 by the Austrian Federal Office for Safety in Health Care (BASG) as a Phase III clinical trial. In 2016, he co-founded the Vienna-based Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Applied Diagnostics (LBI: ad). He also headed the interdisciplinary working group on prostate cancer hybrid imaging and radionuclide therapy at the Medical University of Vienna.

In 2018, together with Prof. Wolfgang Wadsak, he founded the Vienna based MINUTE medical Ltd.

Dr. Wolfgang Wadsak, an associate professor at the Medical University of Vienna, has a strong scientific focus on medicinal radiochemistry since many years. This resulted in the publication of more than 150 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals and several book chapters on that topic. He is heading a large research group comprising of multi-discipline multi-level scientists, joint by their efforts in radiotracer development and preclinical testing.

After graduating from Gymnasium Stubenbastei in Vienna in 1990, he completed his civil service at a local paramedics association. Then, he started his studies in chemistry at the University of Vienna and graduated as a master of science in 1999 with distinction. During his PhD thesis, entitled “Evaluation of fluoroethylations using fluorine-18 for the preparation of PET radiopharmaceuticals“, Wolfgang Wadsak started to work cooperatively at the General Hospital of Vienna / Medical University of Vienna. In 2004, he finished his doctorate and graduated as a PhD with distinction. In parallel (2003/04), he also completed a post-graduate course in Radiopharmaceutical Sciences at the Universities in Frankfurt (Germany), ETH Zurich (Switzerland) and Leipzig (Germany) and became trainer/consultant of Bayer AG to teach nuclear medicine departments in the preparation and quality control of the selective radiotherapeutic, ⁹⁰Y-Zevalin, used in the treatment of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

In 2005, Dr. Wadsak successfully completed his education in radiation protection and became the official radiation protection agent for several facilities and entities at the General Hospital / Medical University of Vienna (e.g. Research Labs and PET – Department of Nuclear Medicine; Radiopharmacy – Hospital Pharmacy of the General Hospital; Preclinical Imaging Lab – Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image-guided Therapy). Within the following years, he continued building up a research group with dedicated scientists and pursued his teaching activities and multiple academic institutions. In 2009, he passed his habilitation in Medicinal Radiochemistry and was awarded with the venia docendi by the Medical University of Vienna. He continued the tenure track as assistant professor, completed a 4-month scientific internship at ETH Zurich, one of the world’s top academic institutions in the field, and successfully finished his qualification agreement in 2012, when he was promoted into the rank of an Associate Professor.

In 2015, Assoc.-Prof. Wolfgang Wadsak joined the Board of Directors in the Austrian Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (OGNMB) and was appointed Secretary/Treasurer in 2016. In the same year, he founded the Alliance for the Promotion of the Radiopharmaceutical Sciences together with Markus Mitterhauser and joined the “Center for Biomarker Research in Medicine” (CBmed), a research center of excellence funded by the Austrian government with its HQ in Graz. There, he took over the coordination of all Vienna based activities as well as the lead in the Area “Data & Technologies”. This encompasses diverse wet-lab techniques (e.g. NGS, metabolomics, MALDI-MS, immunology assays and digital pathology) and data-driven approaches to enrich biomarker discovery, validation and translation.

In 2018, together with Prof. Markus Hartenbach, he founded the Vienna based MINUTE medical Ltd. Wolfgang Wadsak is married and father of four children.
