Welcome to the Research Group for Magnetism and Magnetic Materials Techniques
OVERVIEW
The main focus of our research falls into five broad categories (i) nanomagnetic actuation for mechanical conditioning and control of cellular functions for regenerative medicine and stem cell research, (ii) enhanced in vitro and in vivo gene delivery and expression, (iii) magetic nanoparticle-loaded cellular carriers for tumor targeting and tissue repair, (iv) magnetic nanoparticle synthesis and characterization. The underlying theme of all this work is the novel use of magnetic nanoparticles to develop technologies for bionanotechnology and nanomedicine applications in fields as diverse as gene therapy, stem cell therapy, tumour targeting and regenerative medicine and (v) investigations of iron compounds related to neurodegenerative diseases.
