Lansing, Mich. (June 6, 2025) — Yesterday, IONETIX, a leader in advanced radiopharmaceutical technologies, is investing $25.75 million to expand its Delta Township facility. The project will add a second cyclotron, and an advanced isotope processing laboratory. The expansion is expected to create 53 high-tech jobs and further accelerate innovation in life sciences and nuclear medicine manufacturing.

“IONETIX’s expansion is creating high-skill, high-value jobs and elevating the Lansing Region within the global medical technology landscape,” said Bob Trezise, president and CEO of the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP). “LEAP is proud to support this project and the ecosystem of innovative MedTech companies making our region a destination for biomedical research and economic opportunity.” 

IONETIX marked the milestone with a community event at its Delta Township facility, bringing together company leaders, regional partners, and officials from across the state. Speakers included representatives from IONETIX, LEAP, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), and Delta Township. 

Founded in 2009 from technology developed at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center, IONETIX has pioneered the world’s first commercial compact superconducting cyclotron, the ION-12SC, which is used to produce N-13 ammonia, one of the most accurate positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD). The company has also expanded its focus to targeted alpha therapy (TAT), an emerging cancer treatment utilizing high-energy alpha particles to target cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue. 

"Delta Township and the Lansing region offer the ideal environment for IONETIX’s continued growth. The area’s highly skilled workforce, robust infrastructure, and strong spirit of public-private collaboration make it the perfect location for our expansion,” said Kevin J. Cameron, Chief Executive Officer of IONETIX. “We are honored to invest in this community and proud that it is in the forefront of creating diagnostic and therapeutic innovations.”

This expansion aligns with IONETIX’s broader strategy to grow its radiopharmaceutical manufacturing network, advance commercialization of new therapies, and reinforce Michigan's leadership in life sciences and medical technology innovation.

The State of Michigan, through the Michigan Business Development Program, awarded IONETIX $750,000 in incentives to support this expansion, ensuring a strong pipeline of skilled talent and continued innovation in the region.

We are thrilled with the company’s commitment to Michigan and the Lansing community by investing over $25 million to accelerate the efforts to one day cure cancer,” said Matt McCauley, Senior Vice President for Regional Development at the MEDC. "Team Michigan welcomes IONETIX Corporation’s expansion, furthering Michigan’s leadership in the life sciences and medical technology industries. We applaud the company’s vision to Make it in Michigan.

Michigan Works! Association Wraps Up 2025 Annual Conference in Kalamazoo

The Michigan Works! Association successfully hosted its 2025 Annual Conference September 7–9 at the Radisson Plaza Hotel & Suites in Kalamazoo. The three-day event brought together workforce development professionals, employers, educators, policymakers, and community leaders to explore solutions for Michigan’s most pressing talent and employment challenges.

The conference opened Sunday with workshops, the Association’s annual meeting, and a networking reception at the Gilmore Car Museum, providing an engaging start for attendees to connect with peers and partners.

On Monday, the agenda featured keynote presentations from Sharon Gai and Dr. Christopher Laney, who offered insights into global workforce trends, leadership, and the future of employment. Attendees engaged in a variety of workshops covering workforce readiness, training strategies, and employer engagement. The Exhibit Hall was a focal point for building connections between businesses, service providers, and Michigan Works! agencies,  (and also where MBN recorded its interviews from). While networking opportunities such as the Dessert Break & Headshot Lounge further fostered collaboration.

The conference concluded Tuesday with workshops and a dynamic closing keynote from Dr. Sherene McHenry, emphasizing leadership, communication, and strategies to strengthen Michigan’s workforce ecosystem. An invitation-only Executive Breakfast also gave business and policy leaders an opportunity to exchange ideas in a more focused setting.

Across the three days, the conference highlighted the critical role of employment in economic development. Employers learned about the tangible costs of workforce gaps, explored innovative approaches to upskilling, and built partnerships to address talent shortages. The emphasis on collaboration positioned Michigan Works! as a vital connector between business needs and workforce solutions.

By drawing together leaders from across the state, the 2025 Annual Conference underscored Michigan’s commitment to building a stronger, more resilient economy through workforce innovation, business engagement, and talent development.
