Development of magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications KU Leuven
The objective of this project is to design and synthesize magnetic nanoparticles with biocompatible coatings to which therapeutic molecules can be attached via a thermo-sensitive covalent bond. By applying an external alternating magnetic field (AMF), the superparamagnetic nanoparticles will generate heat, resulting in the breaking of the thermo-sensitive bonds. This will trigger the release of the attached organic moiety and therefore the ...
