We warmly welcome Diego A. Acevedo Guzman to the team as a Research Ireland and DCU co-funded postdoctoral researcher. Diego earned a double PhD in 2024 from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in 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.

Prof. Silvia Giordani, full professor at Dublin City University and recipient of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, will illustrate the potential of carbon nano-onions in cancer therapy. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 26th at the Engineering Campus.

Carbon nano-onions (CNOs) are an emerging class of carbon nanomaterials with distinctive physicochemical properties, including small size, high surface area, and favorable biocompatibility. Their multilayered carbon structure and accessible surface chemistry make them attractive candidates for functional nanomaterials in biomedical applications. In this work, we report the synthesis and …

The present review thoroughly encompasses the key applications of nanomedicine in drug delivery, tissue regeneration and theranostics. Herein, a dual-pathway presentation approach is proposed: on one side, a material-based perspective, including innovative techniques for targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering and theranostics, is presented, while on the other side, a focus on the most rising …
