Symposium on biomagnetism and magnetic biosystems
22 September 2007 - 22 September 2007
Spain
A symposium on biomagnetism and magnetic biosystems, organised by the European Science Foundation (ESF) and the European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO), will take place from 22 to 27 September in Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain.
The conference will bring together researchers in the diverse fields of biomagnetism, medicine, spintronics, nanomagnetism, optoelectronics, microelectronics, bioinformatics and high throughput clinical diagnostics and sequencing to explore the potential of recent breakthroughs in magnetic nanotechnologies to new approaches to practical bioapplications.
Sessions will focus on:
- exploitation of research on magnetism and magnetic materials in relation to high throughput screening;
- design, fabrication and characterisation of magnetic elements for biodetection and biotechnology;
- design and characterisation of magnetic sensors: giant magnetoresistive (GMR), magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ);
- shape memory material; targeted drug delivery methods and systems utilising magnetic beads; hyperthermia induced by magnetic beads;
- technologies and systems for the manipulation of magnetic beads;
- industry landscape in Europe and worldwide commercial opportunities for biotechnology companies engaged in research on biomagnetism.
