Conference

The Giordani Group was proud to take part in the World Conference on Carbon 2025—a vibrant global forum celebrating the latest in carbon research and innovation. Each year, leading scientists from academia and industry gather to exchange insights on carbon materials, exploring everything from synthesis methods to advanced applications, characterisation, and fundamental properties.

Dr Francesco Calzaferri participated in the 22nd Biennial Meeting organised by the Society of Free Radical Research (SFRR) – International and hosted by the European Regional section of the SFRR at the University of Galway, Ireland, from 3rd to 6th June.

Yingru presented our research at a BenBedPhar COST Action Training School in Ohrid, North Macedonia, from May 26th to 30th, 2025. The focus of the Training School was on ‘NRF2 network – molecules, pathways, and therapeutic strategies in chronic disease’.

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.

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.
