12^th International Conference on the Scientific and Clinical Applications of Magnetic Carriers

May 22 - 26, 2018 | Copenhagen, Denmark

Check out this next meeting location here and get just as excited as we are! Copenhagen is a wonderful city in the north of Europe surrounded by lots of water.

The program for our meeting has now been made, with the help of 20 reviewers. Thank you all for your efforts. I think we got once again a very interesting program. Check it out here:

And we also have two very extensive poster sessions, with poster prizes. Check out the posters here:

If you would like to check out Urs Hafeli's overview talk, about the last 2 years of interesting magnetic particle related papers and highlights, then check it out here (BIG file):

And if you want to read even more about the meeting and what we heard there in talks and posters, then check out the abstract booklet here (BIG file):

Topics

Magnetic particles of nano- and micro-sized dimensions are an area of intense research. To bring together scientists from chemistry, physics, medicine, biology, engineering and materials sciences and discuss in a collaborative manner the applications in technology, preclinical research and diagnostic and therapeutic medicine, we organize a conference about this field every two year. In 2018, this conference will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark and cover the following topics:

Scientific Applications:

Preparation and Modification of Magnetic Particles
Characterization of Magnetic Particles
Application in Cell Separation and Analysis
Applications in Molecular Biology
Magnetic Particle Imaging

Clinical Applications:

Cancer Treatment
Hyperthermia
Magnetic Resonance Contrast Enhancement
Drug Delivery

Nanotechnology Applications:

Micromechanical Systems (MEMS)
Magnetic nanotubes
Self-assembled magnetic nanosystems

Proceedings

After every "Magnetic Carrier Meeting", meeting participants will be able to publish peer reviewed articles in a special journal issue that contains the most-up-to date research in our area. The deadline for the submission of these full papers was four weeks after the meeting.

For this year's 12th meeting, we will publish our original research with the "Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials" (JMMM), as we did many times previously. This journal is well indexed and you can find your papers with search engines such as SciFinder, Google Scholar and other indexing services.

JMMM has an impact factor of IF = 3.046 (2017).

The papers have a much faster turn-around as in previous years, as they become published as soon as accepted.

We had this year 74 peer-reviewed publications. They are not listed as special issue yet, but are available as single papers (with a date of early 2019). Check them out here:
