DESCRIPTION:Prof. Anna Roig\, ICMAB-CSIC\, Bellaterra\, Spain\nIron oxide 
 nanoparticles are becoming an important class of materials in nanomedicine
  because they can be used for imaging as contrast agents in MRI as well as
  for therapeutical purposes. Moreover\, they are FDA approved. The talk wi
 ll start with a brief introduction to iron oxide nanoparticles\, a descrip
 tion of the characteristics that make them attractive in the health sector
  and some recently reported biomedical applications. It will then be follo
 wed by the workflow we have undertaken to validate in-house synthesized ma
 gnetic nanoparticles and nanocapsules to promote angiogenesis as a brain n
 eurorepair therapy after stroke.[1] [2]\n[1] Rapid synthesis of water-disp

 : Anna Roig graduated in Physics and received a PhD in Materials Science f
 rom the Autonomous University of Barcelona. She completed her education at
  the KTH in Stockholm and at Northeastern University in Boston. More recen
 tly she spent over two years as a seconded national expert in Brussels at 
 the Research Directorate. At present she is Senior Researcher and Deputy D
 irector of the Materials Science Institute of Barcelona (www.icmab.es) whe
 re she leads the Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites Group (www.icmab.es/nn).
  Her group interests turn around developing inorganic nanoparticles with a
  soft spot for magnetic materials. In addition to bio-related application\
 , the group has research activities in uncommon iron oxides phase\, such t
 he multiferroic epsilon-Fe2O3. http://www.researcherid.com/rid/E-7616-2011
