Please join Anayet Kabir for his Molecular and Macromolecular Sciences Seminar Program presentation of Multifunctional Magnetic Nanoparticles for Imaging and Hyperthermia.

Nanoparticles have belonged to various fields of biomedical research for quite some time. A promising site-directed application in the field of nanomedicine is imaging and hyperthermia using magnetic nanoparticles which are directed at the target tissue by means of an external magnetic field. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) have attracted much attention because of their unique physical properties, magnetic susceptibility, biocompatibility, stability and many more relevant characteristics. Especially in medicine, application of MNPs is very promising. This review focuses on the most recent progress made with respect to synthetic routes to produce magnetic nanoparticles and their salient accomplishments for in vivo cancer imaging and hyperthermia.

All are welcome to attend.
