Strategic agreement with Modawina Medical Company strengthens SHINE’s presence in EMEA region and advances access to Ilumira, n.c.a. lutetium 177

JANESVILLE, Wis., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SHINE Technologies, LLC, a nuclear fusion company with a platform of medical isotope products, today announced a strategic distribution partnership with Modawina Medical Company to bring Ilumira, SHINE’s non-carrier-added lutetium-177 (n.c.a. Lu-177), to patients in the United Arab Emirates. This first-of-its-kind agreement for SHINE in the UAE extends the company’s global reach and reinforces its position as a key supplier of cancer-fighting isotopes across the EMEA region.

MMC will distribute Ilumira to its network of radiopharmaceutical manufacturers and nuclear medicine centers in the UAE.

Strategic partnership to serve Middle East patients

Modawina Medical Company (MMC) is dedicated to equipping healthcare providers across the UAE with advanced medical technologies. Through this long-term agreement, MMC will distribute Ilumira to its extensive network of radiopharmaceutical manufacturers and nuclear medicine centers in the UAE, increasing access to this important cancer-fighting isotope.

“We’re proud to partner with SHINE to bring its high-quality Ilumira to healthcare providers throughout the UAE,” said Ahmed Aboufaroukh, Founder and CEO of MMC. “Our mission has always been to provide cutting-edge medical solutions to the region, and this partnership allows us to address the growing demand for targeted radiotherapies that can transform cancer care.”

Supporting global growth in precision medicine

SHINE produces Ilumira at its Cassiopeia facility in Janesville, Wisconsin, one of the highest-capacity Lu-177 production sites in North America. With the ability to support up to 100,000 doses annually, SHINE’s proprietary production process ensures a reliable, high-quality supply of this important isotope, crucial given its 6.7-day half-life and need for rapid distribution.

This agreement marks another step in SHINE’s mission to make advanced cancer care accessible to more patients around the world. As SHINE continues to expand its global network, strategic partnerships like this one will play a vital role in strengthening the supply chain for medical isotopes and supporting the future of targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies.

“The Middle East represents an exciting growth region for advanced cancer therapies, and we’re proud to help lead that growth,” said Greg Piefer, Founder and CEO of SHINE. “What’s most exciting about expanding into the UAE with MMC, a partner with deep relationships with healthcare providers across the region, is the opportunity to deliver breakthrough cancer treatments for patients who may not have had access before.”

Ilumira is a critical medical isotope used in targeted cancer therapies that precisely delivers radiation to cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. These therapies are gaining global momentum and offer powerful new options for patients with limited alternatives. Recently, the FDA expanded the approved indications for Lu-177-based radiopharmaceuticals in treating metastatic prostate cancer.

Published

2 hours ago

May 3, 2026

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today Booking.com released its 11th annual research report into consumer attitudes and understanding of the social and environmental impact of travel. With insights from 32,500 travellers across 35 markets globally, including 1,000 from Australia, this year’s research highlights a generational paradox.

While 83% of Australian travellers say that more sustainable travel is important to them, older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete actions, despite younger generations often expressing stronger sustainability intentions.

Older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete sustainable actions, with almost two–thirds of Boomers across Asia Pacific (63%) saying they will shop more at local, independent stores on their trips, three–quarters (75%) planning to reduce general waste, and 63% intending to reduce energy consumption, higher than Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z.However, younger travellers are leading in cultural and conservation management; more than a quarter of Gen Z (27%) and Millennials (26%) participated in a tour or activity that contributed to the health or conservation of the local ecosystem or wildlife.Extreme weather is actively reshaping travel choices. Nearly three-quarters of Australian travellers said they consider extreme weather risk when choosing both destination (72%), and timing (75%), and 27% reported having cancelled or changed trip plans in the past twelve months due to extreme weather or natural disaster.Australian travellers are shifting when and where they travel, seeking reliable climates and comfort. 43% say they plan to avoid overcrowded tourist destinations, 42% plan to travel outside of peak season, and 26% will seek out destinations with cooler temperatures.In 2025, travellers booked more than 100 million room nights on Booking.com at accommodation partners with a third-party sustainability certification, including at 363 third-party certified Australian properties.
