The 164th Topical Symposium of the Magnetic Society of Japan / The 29th Topical Symposium of Nano-Bio Magnetics
Detection of Magnetic Nanoparticles and Its Biomedical Applications
Research and development of biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles have been activated from fundamental subjects to clinical tests. The magnetic nanoparticles are used for the clinical in vivo application as MRI contrast agents for liver cancer diagnosis. As for in vitro applications, the magnetic nanoparticles are practically used for bio-screening and magnetic labels detecting bioactive molecules.
In this symposium, recent studies on detection of magnetic nanoparticles are introduced. In order to detect the magnetic nanoparticles localized at a specific position inside of the body, magnetic sensor with high sensitivity is necessary. In vitro detection of magnetic nanoparticles is also expected to realize on-chip diagnosis technology. Recently, the detection of weak magnetic field from cell activity has been reported.
The present status and future prospects of biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles are discussed. We look forward to your participation in this exciting event.
