Our breakthrough research on transforming spent coffee grounds into carbon dots for cancer treatment has captured widespread attention, being highlighted across numerous news platforms.
Yingru Zhou delivered a long talk and Aravind Anilkumar presented a research poster as the Giordani Group participated in the 10th DCU Chemistry Day.
Showcasing research from Prof. Silvia Giordani’s Group at the School of Chemical Sciences in Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland.
Professor Silvia Giordani, Chair of Nano materials at Dublin City University, is developing bio-inspired carbon-based nanoplatforms to deliver cancer drugs more precisely. With her team at DCU’s School of Chemical Sciences, Prof Giordani describes the potential of nanotechnology to transform the fight against aggressive cancers like glioblastoma, breast and pancreatic cancer whilst reducing side effects, and improve treatment outcomes.
Il metodo di somministrazione del farmaco basato sulla nanotecnologia utilizzato e sviluppato da Giordani consente, infatti, di somministrare una maggiore quantità di farmaco direttamente al ‘bersaglio’, con minori danni collaterali alle cellule sane circostanti.
