Abstract One of the important trends of next-generation biomedical sciences is the development of new tools that can accurately image, identify, and execute desired missions in a selectively programed manner. Nanotechnology is among one of the essential platform tools for targeted imaging, therapy, and simultaneous monitoring of therapeutic efficacy. In this talk, I will discuss magnetic nanoparticles as a core platform material and tool for a variety of functionalities such as sensing, targeting and signaling of cells in a selective and efficient way. Their unique utilizations in highly accurate dual-modal MR imaging, therapeutic hyperthermia of cancer cells, controlled drug/gene delivery, and molecular level cell signaling and cell fate control will be discussed.
