The SEON concept
Translational research at SEON begins with a symbolizing circle. The nanomedical expertise that has distinguished SEON for over ten years comes to bear in researching the best possible diagnostic and therapeutic options and their use in everyday clinical practice. SEON uses superparamagnetic iron oxide manoparticles, which are very small and have a large surface area, as a means of transport for the targeted, magnetic field-controlled delivery of drugs. The SEON circle (see image) depicts the complete workflow along the nanoparticle systems research:
From nanoparticle fabrication and characterization and nanotoxicology to biological mechanisms in nanoparticle enrichment, experimental imaging and pharmaceutical manufacturing. The specific linkage of development and application goals is considered unique worldwide, and the resulting interactions are proving enormously fruitful. All SEON work areas are extremely closely interlinked, which benefits not only the workflow, but also the continuous improvement of nanoparticle systems in a wide variety of research topics.
