Description for 2024/25

Within the emerging field of nanomedicine a subfield
of nanomagnetics is playing a
major role in the development of new technologies for the assessment and therapeutic
treatment of biological tissues. This module delivers a series of lectures from
multidisciplinary experts working at the interface of physics and biology. Theoretical
concepts of nanomagnetism are given, through to the discussion of stateoftheart
research in this field.
