A Comprehensive Approach to Cancer Treatment Using Magnetic Nanoparticles: From Basic Engineering to In Vivo Studies
Thursday, September 27, 2012
3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Location: BME 3.204
Seminar Abstract
The use of magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications, in particular cancer treatment, has been investigated for more than a decade. In vivo temporal and spatial control are still challenges that must be faced in order to make the clinical application of these systems a reality. Our work has focused on the in depth understanding of the nanoparticle’s surface properties on the in vitro and in vivo behavior of colloidally stable particles. This presentation will summarize lessons learned and the contributions of our work in this area.
