Antaros Medical presents First-in-class PET tracer for the glucagon receptor at EASD 2017

Antaros Medical, in collaboration with Sanofi, presents important data at the 53^rd Annual Meeting of the European Association for the study of diabetes (EASD) on a first-in-class Glucagon (GCG) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) ligand, with suitable properties for clinical development targeting the glucagon receptor.
