Magnetic Nanoparticles for Self Controlled Hyperthermia Treatment of Tumors

Haik Y., Mohite V., Chen C-J., Center for Nanomagnetics and Biotechnology, US

Self controlled magnetic hyperthermia at tumor sites requires magnetic particles with Curie temperature similar to that of the desired tumor temperature. Elevated temperature at the tumor site was reported to decrease the tumor resistivety to [...]

Nanomagnetic Immunoassay for Rapid Detection of Escherichia coli

Haik Y., Qablan A., Chen C-J., Center for Nanomagnetics and Biotechnology, US

This study identifies a simple process to quickly conduct an analysis, under field conditions, for detection of pathogens. A magnetic sandwich immunoassay is developed for rapid isolation and detection of targeted pathogen. Escherichia coli BL21 [...]

Assisted Alignement of Carbon Nanotubes

Haik Y., Chatterjee J., Chen C-J., Bimagnetic Engineering Lab, US

Extensive research has been focused on the processing of carbon nanotubes polymeric composites. The ability to impose a preferred alignment of carbon nanotubes in a composite will increase the effectiveness of utilizing nanotubes in composite [...]

Glucometers to Detect for Heart Attack

Haik Y., Qablan A., Zwolinski A., Chen C-J., Florida State University, US

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), commonly referred to as a heart attack, is a disorder in which damage to an area of heart muscle occurs because of an inadequate supply of oxygen to that area leading [...]
