A national Magnetic Particle Imaging facility

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to establish the first Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) facility in Australia. MPI is a technique that detects the magnetic properties of iron-oxide nanoparticles to produce 3D images. MPI is a high-speed and high-sensitivity breakthrough technology with applications in the disciplines of cell tracking, material science and biotechnology. The facility will be critical for the generation of new knowledge in the industrial biosciences research sector and provide unique benefits to the national research community. It will also significantly enhance Australia’s leadership in nanotechnology and molecular imaging, strengthen Australia’s research and innovation reputation in biotechnology, and unlock opportunities for the Australian biotechnology industry.
