## Overview[edit | edit source]

MagForce Nanotechnologies AG is a German biotechnology company focusing on cancer treatment. It is a world's leading company in treating cancer cells with nanotechnology-based therapy. The company is led by CEO Andreas Jordan.

## The method[edit | edit source]

MagForce has patented a new approach in which magnetizing nano-sized iron particles covered with sugar are led into body part containing cancer cells. Abnormal and quickly expanding cancer cells need a lot more energy than normal cells and thus they swallow sugar-coated nanoparticles unlike healthy cells. After that the body part is subjected to a magnetic field which heats up the nanoparticles up to 70 degrees Celsius and later burns ja kills the cancer cells.

This new method has been tested on animals and also on humans. The first results are promising.

## Recognitions and Awards[edit | edit source]

* MagForce was named as one of the 10 most promising technologies at the German Future Awards in 2006. [1]
