Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL)
Engineering Iron Oxide Nanoparticles towards Clinical Applications Anna Roig Materials Science Institute of Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain Monday, October 27, 2014, in lecture hall MX F1 at 1:15 pm
Abstract: Iron oxide nanoparticles are becoming an important class of materials in nanomedicine. They can be used for imaging as contrast agents in MRI as well as for therapeutical purposes and are FDA approved. The talk will start with a brief introduction to iron oxide nanoparticles, a description of the characteristics that make them attractive in the health sector and some of their recently reported biomedical applications. It will then be followed by the workflow we have undertaken to validate in-house synthesized magnetic nanoparticles and nanocapsules to promote angiogenesis as a brain neurorepair therapy after stroke.(1,2)

The Joint European Magnetic Symposia will be held in Rhodes, Greece next week. Anna Roig will give an invited talk in Symposium 8 on Medical, Biomedical, Biomagnetic and Biotechnology applications.
Muling attended the 2013 Chunhui Science Conference (26th June – 2nd July, Dalian, China) (www.chinaocs.com). The conference was organized by the Science and Technology Ministry and Education Ministry of China. Its purpose is to introduce a number of advanced technologies and projects overseas of high-level talents to return China. 1,270 overseas students were selected. Muling was the only representative from Spain. 28 provinces and municipalities have been enrolled in this conference. China is offering a very strong economical support for students abroad.
Nerea Murillo, Anna Laromaine and Anna Roig attended the E-MRS Spring Meeting in Strasbourg. They were busy running from symposium Q to symposium U and R. Anna Roig gave an invited contribution on Symposium Q: “Bionanomaterials for imaging, sensing and actuating”.
Great success in the oral presentation entitled “Engineering iron oxide nanoparticles for theranostic (therapeutic and diagnosis) applications in nanomedicine”.
Anna Roig delivered this seminar in the framework of ATHENA SCHOOL for advanced modeling of magnetic oxides, SN Bose Institute – Kolkata (India), 9th-12th April 2012.
