NANOBIOMAGNET is a research project entitled “Fundamentals and Applications of molecules, magnetic nanoparticles and nanostructures: from spintronics to biomedicine”. The project is framed in the R & D activities program of the Community of Madrid, cofinanced by the European Social Fund, whose development takes place between 2010 and 2014. NANOBIOMAGNET involves eleven research groups from public research institutions and two laboratories of the Laboratory Network of the Community of Madrid (REDLAB) and is coordinated by Professor Rodolfo Miranda. NANOBIOMAGNET comprises various facets of work on nanostructures, molecules and magnetic nanoparticles. Some of the activities explored in NANOBIOMAGNET are: using ordered sets of magnetic spots as high density information storage media, using magnetic nanoparticles in treatment of tumors by hyperthermia and the formation of ordered structures of nanowires for screening or developing protective coatings against electromagnetic radiation.
