JANESVILLE, Wis. and SYDNEY, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SHINE Technologies, a next-generation fusion technology company, and Radiopharm Theranostics (ASX:RAD), a developer of a world-class platform of radiopharmaceutical products for both diagnostic and therapeutic uses, today announced that they have entered into a clinical supply agreement.
