Latest Developments

We are delighted to share that Prof. Silvia Giordani has contributed to the editorial “Women in neuroengineering and neurotechnologies”, recently published in Frontiers in Neuroscience. This editorial emphasizes the value of promoting diversity and inclusion in neuroengineering and neurotechnologies while highlighting the noteworthy contributions made by women in the field.

Yingru Zhou has been awarded Research Ireland’s Enterprise Partnership Scheme scholarship, partnered with Breakthrough Cancer Research. The project, EPSPG/2024/1846, titled Modulation Of carbon Nanoparticles for pAncReatic Cancer tHerapy (MONARCH), aims to enhance cancer treatment by developing drug delivery systems for more precise and efficient targeting of cancer cells.

Professor Silvia Giordani’s portrait features on the University of Montpellier’s website. She is currently a MAK’IT (Montpellier Advanced Knowledge Institute on Transitions) visiting fellow at the University of Montpellier, with the aim to extend the applications of carbon nano-onions into the energy sector.
