Sofia Dominguez Gil is an Irish Research Council-funded Postdoctoral Fellow (no.: EPSPD/2023/309) at Dublin City University under the supervision of Prof. Silvia Giordani working on the CAROTENE project (design of Carbon bAsed nanoplatform tO TargEt pancreatic cancEr). Her research project aims to develop new smart carbon-based nanomaterials capable of improving chemotherapeutic drug delivery in pancreatic cancer cells. During her Ph.D., she worked on functionalized nanoparticles for Rhabdomyosarcoma theranostics.
