In 2025 her department was accredited as an ICPO Theranostic Centre of Excellence. She is Immediate Past President of the College of Nuclear Physicians (2020 to 2026) and serves as an examiner, convenor and senator for the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa. She chairs the International Scientific Steering Committee for NuMeRI, serves as Secretary of the International Society of Radiolabelled Blood Elements (ISORBE), is an Ambassador for the Oncidium Foundation, and is a member of the UroTerag LATAM Global Expert Panel. Prof Vorster is an IAEA expert and collaborator and has authored and co-authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications. Her research interests include novel Ga-68 based tracer applications and theranostics aimed at solving important clinical problems. Professor Mike Sathekge is President and CEO of the Nuclear Medicine Research Infrastructure (NuMeRI) and Head of Nuclear Medicine at Steve Biko Academic Hospital and the University of Pretoria. He is internationally recognised for his leadership in radiotheranostics and targeted alpha therapy, having served as principal investigator on multiple early-phase studies. Mike Sathekge plays a key role in translational research at the interface of academia, healthcare systems, and industry, supporting the development, validation, and clinical adoption of novel radiopharmaceuticals. He has published extensively and is Editor-in-Chief of Seminars in Nuclear Medicine and providing strategic oversight of emerging scientific and clinical trends. He leads the IAEA Anchor Centre for Rays of Hope for cancer care in South Africa and is Co-Chair of the National Cancer Research Innovation Strategy (NCRIS).
