Magnetically Driven Multifunctional Nanorobots for Biomedical Applications

The work presented in this dissertation focuses on the design and
development of novel, multifunctional and magnetic nanorobots for applications in the
field of medicine. Minimally invasive and targeted biomedical procedures will greatly
benefit from the progress made in nanotechnology. In this context, the doctoral work
aims to address current medical challenges and presents novel therapeutic
approaches, by combining the merits of nanotechnology, chemistry, and biology.
Multiple integrated nanosystems of various shapes and material properties will be
presented. Furthermore, multiple design strategies will be used to tailor nanoscale
properties for the specific demands in the areas of antibacterial and cancer therapy.
