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.

Professor Silvia Giordani has been appointed Ufficiale dell’Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana, one of the highest honours of the Italian Republic, in recognition of her outstanding scientific achievements and her contributions to research, innovation, and international academic collaboration.

We are pleased to invite the submission of abstracts for Symposium M, an international symposium organized within the 2026 European Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Warsaw, where Prof. Silvia Giordani will serve as Chair, together with joint organizers Dr.

Carbon nano-onions (CNOs) are efficiently functionalized using a sustainable approach based on polymerizable deep eutectic solvents (PDESs), or deep eutectic monomers (DEMs). These systems replace conventional organic solvents, acting simultaneously as dispersing media and functionalization reagents. The method enables the rapid introduction of functional groups such as –OH, –NH3⁺Br−, and –SO3− …

We are delighted to welcome Diego A. Acevedo Guzman to the team as a Research Ireland Enterprise Fellowship postdoctoral researcher, co-funded by Research Ireland and Breakthrough Cancer Research. Diego earned a double PhD in 2024 from the University of Groningen (Netherlands) and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (Mexico).

Professor Silvia Giordani delivered an engaging lecture entitled “Carbon Nano-onions for Drug Delivery” on Friday, 30 January at 15:15, in the Sala del Consiglio (Building C11) at the Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Università degli Studi di Trieste.

Nanotechnology applied to medicine and the fight against cancer will be the focus on Monday, January 26, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the University of Bergamo’s Engineering Campus in Dalmine.
