During two days, our consortium and our external speakers discussed the advancement of the project and broaden the discussion around brain science, nanomedicine, magnetic particles and exploitation means for medical treatment resulting of research.

The followig guests have given us the following talks:

• Dr. Susan Hawthorne (Ulster University): Delivering particles and payloads to neurons and the brain
• Dr Ondrej Hovorka (Southampton University): Understanding collective phenomena and locomotion of magnetic particles for nanomedicine
• Prof John Sinden (UCL): Stem cells, the path from research to the clinic in case studies

15th International Conference Of Magnetic Fluids chaired by Christine Ménager (Sorbonne University)

Since 1979 an International Conference on Magnetic Fluids is held every three years. This conference brings together the international scientific community involved in magnetic fluid science, at large, from liquid dispersions to more complex fluids such as magnetorheological fluids, ferrogels, ferronematics, ferropolymers, biocolloidal systems…. The last two conferences were held in New Delhi (India) January 7-11, 2013 and in Ekaterinburg (Russia) July 4-8, 2016.

Next ICMF 15th will take place at Sorbonne Université in Paris (France) July 8-12, 2019 and will be chaired by Dr Christine Ménager (Sorbonne University). The conference will highlight synthesis and properties of innovative magnetic materials with a special emphasis on societal applications in the domain of energy, environment and biomedical.
