The IEEE Student Branch of the University of Cagliari, in collaboration with the IEEE Nanotechnology Council, is organising the seminar “Fundamentals and Applications of Magnetic Nanoparticle Hyperthermia for Cancer Treatment”.

The speaker, Dr. Matteo Bruno Lodi will present this exciting topic on the 19th of May at 16.30 in the  IAI_1F (ex I) Aula of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Cagliari.

Abstract:

Hyperthermia with magnetic nanoparticles is a cancer therapy globally accepted as the least invasive possible. This innovative treatment aims to exploit the interaction between nanostructures and an externally applied time-varying magnetic field to generate heat that can be harnessed to carry out the therapy. If nanoparticles are injected and delivered into a tumour, this heat can be harnessed to give rise to specific cell-scale biological effects, such as apoptosis or necrosis. This short seminar will describe the biological and physical principles of the therapy, presenting some recent applications.

The seminar will be in Italian and is meant for students in bachelor and master courses in engineering.
