La comunità accademica italiana si conferma protagonista nel panorama della ricerca irlandese. L’Ambasciatore d’Italia a Dublino, Nicola Faganello, ha partecipato a una cerimonia presso la Dublin City University (DCU), che ha messo in luce l’eccellenza e l’impatto del lavoro di importanti studiosi italiani attivi in Irlanda.
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.
Nanotechnology drug delivery could mean faster treatments and reduced hair loss, nausea and fatigue
Prof. Silvia Giordani presented our latest results on drug delivery using Carbon Nano Onions at the 8th BenBedPhar COST action Scientific meeting “Thirty years since the discovery of NRF2”. The meeting took place at NOVA Medical School in Lisbon, Portugal on the 10th and 11th of October 2024.
Prof. Silvia Giordani gave a plenary lecture on “Carbon nano-onions for targeted drug delivery” at the XIII International Symposium on Nano & Supramolecular Chemistry in Sardinia, Italy
Prof. Silvia Giordani presented an invited lecture at the 34th International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials (ICDCM 2024) in Dresden, Germany, focusing on the tailored design of carbon nanoparticles for targeted cancer therapy.
The 9th EuChemS Chemistry Congress (ECC9), organised by the Institute of Chemistry of Ireland (ICI), was held in Dublin, Ireland, on July 7-11, 2024. All current members of the Giordani Group participated in the conference and presented their research.
Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform promoting women and non-binary scientists and their work. At this years Soapbox Science Ireland event, Prof. Silvia Giordani engaged the public with her talk on “How can Nano-onions go to the target?”.
The funding announcement by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) was announced on Monday and has been welcomed by the delighted DCU researchers involved. The SFI Frontiers for the Future Programme provides opportunities for independent investigators to conduct innovative, collaborative research with the potential to deliver impact, whilst also providing opportunities for high-risk, high-reward research projects.
Sofia recently attended the BenBedPhar COST Scientific Meeting from 18th to 19th April in Tallinn. This meeting was focused on ‘Cellular Mechanisms, Disease Modeling and Clinical Approaches to NRF2 Therapeutics’. During the meeting, she presented the research that she is developing as a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Giordani’s group, facilitating the exchange of knowledge and ideas.
In this presentation, multilayers fullerenes, also known as carbon nano-onions (CNOs), were discussed as a potential vesicle for nanocarrier-type drug delivery systems.
