Sofia Dominguez Gil received her PhD in Material Chemistry in 2021 from the University of Montpellier, where she worked on functionalized nanoparticles (silicon and organosilica) for Rhabdomyosarcoma theranostics. From 2023 to 2025, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow under the supervision of Prof. Silvia Giordani, supported by Research Ireland and Breakthrough Cancer Research (Project title: Design of Carbon bAsed nanoplatform tO TargEt pancreatic cancEr, CAROTENE). During this fellowship, Sofia focused on developing smart carbon-based nanomaterials to enhance chemotherapeutic drug delivery in pancreatic cancer cells.
