Sofia Dominguez Gil received her Ph.D. in Material Chemistry in 2021 from the University of Montpellier where she worked on functionalized nanoparticles (silicon and organosilica) for Rhabdomyosarcoma theragnostic. Her research project aims to develop new smart carbon-based nanomaterials capable of improving chemotherapeutic drug delivery in pancreatic cancer cells. She is currently an Irish Research Council-funded Postdoctoral Fellow (no.: EPSPD/2023/309) at Dublin City University under the supervision of Prof. Silvia Giordani working on the CAROTENE project (design of Carbon bAsed nanoplatform tO TargEt pancreatic cancEr).
