Developments in magnetic nanotechnology provide new opportunities to create new approaches to the manipulation and control of biological systems for in vitro and lab-on-a-chip applications.  Our lab has made significant progress in the application of rod shaped multifunctional magnetic nanowires to cell manipulation.
