We are pleased to announce that our perspective paper, “Toward clinical translation of carbon nanomaterials in anticancer drug delivery: the need for standardisation,” has been recognised as one of the top-cited articles of 2024–2025 in the Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology.

ALERT consortium is showing is moving fast towards it aim with a renewed optimising spirit! The first technical meeting has concluded and the scenario is clear: the development of multi-analyte devise for minimally invasive Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis is a complex and ambitus task.

We are thrilled to announce our participation in BIO-NANOAGE, a newly funded 12-month ECIU Research Seed Project entitled “Modern Cosmeceutical: Traditional Plant Extracts vs Nanoparticle Products as Potential Anti-Aging Factors,” this project officially kicked off with an in-person meeting in Łódź, Poland.

We are delighted to share that Prof. Silvia Giordani has been appointed to the Governing Board of the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS). This is a great honour and an exciting opportunity to contribute to the activities and future development of the European materials research community.

We are pleased to announce a new thematic issue of the Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, Functional Materials at the Biointerface, co-edited by Prof. Silvia Giordani (Dublin City University), Dr. Francesco Calzaferri (Institut des Biomolecules Max Mousseron, Montpellier), and Dr.

The Giordani Group was delighted to participate in the 2026 Irish Neuro-Oncology Society (INOS) Meeting, held on 21 August 2026 at Trinity College Dublin. The meeting brought together researchers from across Ireland to share exciting developments in brain tumour research, foster collaboration, and highlight emerging approaches in neuro-oncology.

We are pleased to announce that our review, “CARBON DOTS: Bioimaging and Anticancer Drug Delivery,” has been recognised as one of the Top 10 Most-Cited Papers of 2024 in Chemistry – A European Journal.

Prof. Silvia Giordani returned to her alma mater, the University of Miami, to present an invited seminar on the synthesis, surface chemistry and biomedical translation of carbon nano-onions.

We are pleased to announce that our publication, “Biodegradability of Carbon Nano-Onions by Human Myeloperoxidase and Photo-Fenton Process,” has been selected for the ChemNanoMat Reader’s Choice 2025 collection. The work was also featured on the front cover of ChemNanoMat, Volume 10, Issue 6, upon its publication in 2024.

We are delighted to share that Prof. Silvia Giordani was recently invited to deliver a keynote presentation at the 3rd International Conference EDGE-Tech 2026, held from 24–26 June 2026 at CNR NANOTEC, Campus Ecotekne, Lecce, Italy.
