Prof. Silvia Giordani is pioneering the development of smart nanomaterials designed to transform how cancer drugs are delivered.

Breakthrough Cancer Research, Ireland’s leading medical research charity focused on cancer awareness and funding cutting-edge science, is bringing the acclaimed Cancer Revolution: Science, Innovation and Hope exhibition to Ireland for the very first time.

We are delighted to welcome Riccardo Ossanna as a Postdoctoral Researcher, supported by the Research Ireland Frontiers for the Future award. Riccardo obtained his BSc and MSc in Chemistry from the University of Trieste (Italy) in 2019 and 2022.

The Giordani Group is delighted to host a two-day workshop on Nanoparticle-Enabled Drug Delivery and Therapeutic Technologies. Join us on 8-9 June at Dublin City University’s Glasnevin Campus for an inspiring programme that will bring together leading international researchers, early-career scientists, and industry innovators.

Professor Silvia Giordani has been appointed Ufficiale dell’Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana, one of the highest honours of the Italian Republic, in recognition of her outstanding scientific achievements and her contributions to research, innovation, and international academic collaboration.

We are pleased to invite the submission of abstracts for Symposium M, an international symposium organized within the 2026 European Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Warsaw, where Prof. Silvia Giordani will serve as Chair, together with joint organizers Dr.

Carbon nano-onions (CNOs) are efficiently functionalized using a sustainable approach based on polymerizable deep eutectic solvents (PDESs), or deep eutectic monomers (DEMs). These systems replace conventional organic solvents, acting simultaneously as dispersing media and functionalization reagents. The method enables the rapid introduction of functional groups such as –OH, –NH3⁺Br−, and –SO3− …
