Main related relevant activities / projects
The group is involved in a wide range of activities and projects as listed below:
MAT2011-25991 Multifunctional biomedical nanoplatform applied to biology and clinics combined
with thermometric magnetothermic imaging system with submicron resolution. This national
project aims to design a nanometric tool for biomedical purposes.
MAT2011-27233-C02-01 and MAT2011-27233-C02-02 Preparation and characterization of
multifunctional magnetic molecular materials for spintronic and energy. This national Project aims
to develop and investigate new single molecule magnets self-organized in highly ordered arrays
as a necessary step for the development of computer memories of molecular nature.
NCSD 2007-00010/338 Molecular Nanoscience. The aim of this national project is to provide a
suitable framework to develop competitive and high-quality research in Molecular Nanoscience.
ACI2008-0803 Advancing the field of drug delivery-combined targeted treatment against human
breast cancer and human leukemia (network). To selectively abrogate tumor protective functions
aiming at improving sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapy or finding synergistic combinations
that improve the treatment of breast cancer or leukaemia patients.
Multifunctional magnetic materials: Molecular Materials and new applications of magnetic
compounds.. The attention concentrates on multifunctional materials combining magnetic and
thermal properties, and magnetic and optic, particularly those photo-induced ones.
Multifunctional Magnetic Clusters and Nanoparticles. The project has two interwoven goals: (i)
Improvement of the methods for the coating and functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles. (ii)
Study of the magnetic properties of hybrid polymers Source of Finance: Spain-Austria.
Multifunctional molecular nanomaterials with optic and magnetic properties. Development of new
multifunctional nanoparticle systems having magnetic and optical properties.
Associated Member of the CIBER BBN. The Biomedical Research Networking center in
Bioengineering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine (CIBER-BBN) is one of nine CIBER consortia in
the country, created under the leadership of the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII) to promote
research excellence and build a critical mass in the field of Biomedicine and Health Sciences.
Founding Member of the European Institute of Molecular Magnetism. EIMM is a joint initiative
stemming from the European Network of Excellence MAGMANet. (http://www.eimm.eu). The
EIMM applied for European funding in 2011 and the proposal ―European structured research
area for CAtalytic and Magnetic nanoMaterials‖ (eCAMM) has now been approved for funding by
the European Commission. eCAMM is formed by ERIC (European Research Institute of
Catalysis) and EIMM (European Institute of Molecular Magnetism). The project started in 2012
and will run for four years.
Other information
Portfolio of patents for the development of magnetic nanoparticles and its coating. Such multifunctionality
includes magnetic response, fluorescence, temperature determination and the grafting of elements for
the anchoring of antibodies, proteins, drugs,... A major research effort is currently being oriented towards
the biomedical uses of these products; however, applications in other areas are also be envisaged.
