Magnetic Nanoparticles: Standardisation and Biomedical Applications

Course description

This e-learning course synthesises state-of-the-art advancements within the field of magnetic nanoparticles and delivers reference information for both a general audience (with a scientific background) and experienced professionals within the field. This course has been created as part of the EU-financed NanoMag project, and results from the collaboration between NPL, Acreo Swedish ICT AB, Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (grant agreement no: 604448).

This e-learning course aims to:

• Develop awareness of the pros and cons deriving from the use of MNPs, in order to sustain an informed opinion on this topic.
• Emphasise the benefits deriving from the standardisation and improvement in analysis methods of magnetic nanoparticles.
• Provide the foundation to enable further study in this field.

Who is it for?

• Scientists entering the field.
• Professionals who are unfamiliar with the physical principles of magnetic materials at the nanoscale.
• Medical professionals who want to review progress on MNP research within the biomedical sphere course structure.
