The already 15th International Conference on the Scientific and Clinical Applications of Magnetic Carriers took place at Sorbonne University in Paris, France. It as again a wonderful meeting with 230 participants! Here you see most of them. Click on it for a higher resolution picture!
And in another view, we all look like this:
Scientific Applications:
- Preparation and Modification of Magnetic Particles
- Magnetic lipid nanoparticles and bubbles
- Magnetic hydrogels
- Characterization of Magnetic Particles
- Application in Cell Separation and Analysis
- Concentration of different types of cells in animals and plants
- Applications in Molecular Biology
- Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI)
Clinical Applications:
- Cancer Treatment
- Hyperthermia
- Magnetic Resonance Contrast Enhancement
- Drug Delivery
- Targeted microrobots / soft robots
- Phototherapy
- Antimicrobial therapy
Nanotechnology Applications:

The program has been made, and you can check both the daily program and the two poster sessions by clicking on these buttons:
Also, Xavier Batlle and Levy Van Leuven gave some excellent tutorials about the physics and chemistry of magnetic particles. Check them out in the "invited speakers" pages.
And if you would like to check out the kind of traditional first talk at the meeting by Urs Hafeli about the new and exciting things happening in the two previous years in the field of magnetic particles, check it out here:
