2-day Workshop at DCU: Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery and Therapy


The Giordani Group is delighted to host a two-day workshop on Nanoparticle-Enabled Drug Delivery and Therapeutic Technologies.

Join us on 8-9 June at Dublin City University’s Glasnevin Campus for an inspiring programme that will bring together leading international researchers, early-career scientists, and industry innovators.

  • Nanoparticle synthesis and functionalisation
  • Targeted drug delivery systems
  • Controlled release platforms
  • Photothermal and photo-responsive nanomaterials
  • Translational nanomedicine and clinical applications

This workshop is organised under an Ireland–Wales Research Alliance Award, jointly funded by the Welsh Government and Research Ireland.

The event forms part of a collaborative feasibility study between Bangor University and Dublin City University

The event forms part of a collaborative feasibility study between Bangor University and Dublin City University, focusing on laser-mediated heating of carbon nano-onions (CNOs) for therapeutic applications. This research investigates how controlled photothermal activation of nanomaterials can enhance precision treatment strategies, particularly in targeted therapy.

The workshop is open to the wider academic and industrial communities. We warmly welcome researchers, clinicians, and industry stakeholders interested in nanomedicine, photonics, drug delivery, and translational biomedical technologies.

Registration details and the full programme will be announced shortly.

A companion workshop will also be hosted at Bangor University.
