Magnetic nanoparticles
Nanoparticulate and supramolecular systems for targeted drug delivery
- Grant Agency of the Academy of Sciences (2006-2010)
- Collaboration of 10 institutes.
The aim of the project is to develop a new generation of nanopharmaceuticals, i.e. drugs and drug delivery systems both for diagnosis and nanotherapy. Validated analytical techniques are included to confirm the identity,stability and binding to target macromolecules.
New hybride magnetic nanocomposite materials for selected applications in medicine, magnetic rezonance imaging and magnetic hyperthermia
- Grant Agency of the Academy of Sciences (2005-2008)
- Collaboration with Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry ASCR.
The project is aimed on the research of new magnetic nanoparticles for applications in medicine. It covers synthesis of magnetic particles based on mixed magnetic oxides, ferrimagnetic hexagonal ferrites and ferromagnetic manganites of defined properties, their stabilization and preparation of composite magnetic nanoparticles using biocompatible molecules and polymers. The particles surface will be modified to enable immobilization e.g. anticancer drugs. Modification of the resulting properties of the composites will be oriented mainly with respect to future applications, such as magnetic hyperthermia and contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
