▣ 발표내용 요약(Abstract)

Magnetic nano- and microparticles have found many interesting applications in various areas of biosciences, medicine, biotechnology and environmental technology. The review talk will focus on two important topics, namely:

 - presence and importance of magnetic particles in living organisms (starting with magnetotactic bacteria up to human beings)

- use of magnetic nano- and microparticles (both synthetic and biogenic) in various bioapplications (e.g., their efficient separation from complex samples; targeting to the desired area; heat formation in alternative gnetic field; increasing of contrast during magnetic resonance imaging; magnetic labeling of biologically active compounds; magnetic drug targeting; magnetization of biogenic, organic and inorganic diamagnetic aterials; hardening of biological structures; xenobiotics removal etc).

At the end of the talk examples of “non-traditional” applications of magnetic particles and materials will be shown.
