Despite this progress\, a critical gap remains: the n eed for diagnostic platforms that are accessible\, accurate\, and cost-eff ective for routine clinical and translational use. In this talk\, I will f ocus on emerging magnetic technologies that leverage magnetic nanoparticle s and their unique physical properties to address pressing biomedical chal lenges. I will first highlight ongoing research in my laboratory on the sy nthesis\, doping\, surface functionalization\, and physicochemical charact erization of magnetic nanoparticles\, with applications in magnetic resona nce imaging (MRI) and magnetic hyperthermia therapy. I will then revisit t he magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS) technology I developed at the Univ ersity of Minnesota\, emphasizing its use in sensitive and quantitative in vitro biosensing. Finally\, I will describe our current efforts to develo p a benchtop magnetic particle imaging (MPI) platform\, aimed at enabling quantitative imaging and image-guided precision oncology.\n\nSpeaker(s): P rof.Wu\, \n\nAgenda: \nIntroduction 6:30 pm\n\nPresentation 6:35 pm\n\nQ&A 7:25 pm\n\nWord of thanks 7:35 pm\n\nConclusion\n\nVirtual: https://event s.vtools.ieee.org/m/538165 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/538165 ORGANIZER:fsemendy@ieee.org SEQUENCE:7 SUMMARY:Engineering Magnetic Nanoparticles for Spectroscopic Sensing and Im aging Applications URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/538165 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0i n\; line-height: normal\;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; font-family: ' Times New Roman'\,serif\;">Abstract:</span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" styl e="margin-bottom: 0in\; line-height: normal\;"><span style="font-size: 12. 0pt\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;">Recent years have witnessed rapid advances in diagnostic technologies spanning magnetic\, optical\, m echanical\, and electrochemical modalities.
