Advanced nuclear physics methods in the production and application of medical radionuclides, current research on heavy-ion biophysics and its translation into cutting-edge hadron therapy for cancer treatment and the emerging field of Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI), a novel imaging technique exploiting the properties of magnetic nanoparticles for medical diagnostics, illustrate how M+M research connects fundamental science with real-world impact — from accelerator-based nuclear physics to next-generation clinical applications.
The host of the 4th M+M Symposium is the Profile Topic Nuclear Physics. The Symposium is dedicated to the fascinating interface between fundamental physics and medical innovation and brings together leading experts to present how nuclear and medical physics are driving advances in diagnostics, imaging and cancer therapy.

Invitation to the M+M Symposium You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
