Boron/nitrogen co-doped carbon nano-onions (BN-CNOs) are an emergent carbon nanomaterial with high structural stability and excellent biocompatibility. They have recently been demonstrated as a viable platform for the targeted delivery of anticancer therapeutics; however, their biodegradation behaviour and impact on immune cells remain unexplored. Here, we investigated the enzymatic and …

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.

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.

The Giordani Group is delighted to welcome Merrella Chaz Karaan as a research assistant in the group of Prof. Silvia Giordani at Dublin City University, supported by funding from the Research Ireland Frontiers for the Future Programme grant (2/FFP-A/11067) awarded to Prof.

We are delighted to look back on two inspiring days filled with exciting science, engaging discussions, dynamic poster sessions, and meaningful connections between researchers from Ireland, Wales, France, and Italy.

Prof. Silvia Giordani was invited to speak at the first Italian Research Day in Ireland, held in Dublin and organised by the Embassy of Italy and the Italian Institute of Culture.

During the event, she was presented with the insignia of Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic and delivered a talk on the Giordani Group’s research on carbon nanoparticles for cancer therapy.
