One of the important trends of next-generation nanomedicine is theranostics that is defined by the combination of therapeutics and diagnostics on a single platform. Magnetic nanoparticles are among one of the most essential platforms for targeted imaging, therapy, and simultaneous monitoring of therapeutic efficacy. In this talk, I will discuss magnetic nanoparticles as a core platform material for theranostics and add a variety of functionalities such as drug, targeting moiety, and gene to enhance their performance. Their unique utilization in highly accurate dual-modal MR imaging, therapeutic hyperthermia of cancer cells, controlled drug release, gene delivery, and molecular level cell signaling and cell fate control will be discussed.
