9th EuChemS Chemistry Congress (ECC9) - Giordani Group Presents their Research
The 9th EuChemS Chemistry Congress (ECC9), organised by the Institute of Chemistry of Ireland (ICI), was held in Dublin, Ireland, on July 7-11, 2024. All current members of the Giordani Group participated in the conference and presented their research.
Front Cover: Biodegradability of Carbon Nano-Onions by Human Myeloperoxidase and Photo-Fenton Process
The human enzyme myeloperoxidase, found majorly in the blood secreted by the immune cells (neutrophils), is capable of degrading the carbon nano-onions (CNOs) or multilayer fullerenes. The biodegradation of CNOs mainly occurs through generating radical intermediates of peroxidase and by reacting with in-situ generated hydroxy radicals under UV-light catalyzed photo-Fenton reaction.
Soapbox Science hitting Dublin again, with thrilling line-up of speakers
Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform promoting women and non-binary scientists and their work. At this years Soapbox Science Ireland event, Prof. Silvia Giordani engaged the public with her talk on “How can Nano-onions go to the target?”.
Professor Silvia Giordani, School of Chemical Sciences, received €1,206,941.90 for a project called “Bio-Inspired Functionalisation of Nanoplatforms for Targeted Delivery of Therapeutics.”
The funding announcement by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) was announced on Monday and has been welcomed by the delighted DCU researchers involved. The SFI Frontiers for the Future Programme provides opportunities for independent investigators to conduct innovative, collaborative research with the potential to deliver impact, whilst also providing opportunities for high-risk, high-reward research projects.
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science - Outside Front Cover
Carbon nano-onions (CNOs) are featured on this cover, illustrating a breakthrough in advanced materials for pancreatic cancer treatment. Leveraging colloid and interface science, CNOs demonstrate precise targeting and enhanced efficacy in drug delivery, offering improved therapeutic outcomes with reduced toxicity, representing a significant advancement in nanotechnology-based cancer therapies.
Dr Sofia Dominguez Gil presented our research on the “Environmentally friendly synthesis of Carbon Dots for cancer therapy” at the 7th BenBedPhar Scientific Meeting in Tallinn
Sofia recently attended the BenBedPhar COST Scientific Meeting from 18th to 19th April in Tallinn. This meeting was focused on ‘Cellular Mechanisms, Disease Modeling and Clinical Approaches to NRF2 Therapeutics’. During the meeting, she presented the research that she is developing as a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Giordani’s group, facilitating the exchange of knowledge and ideas.
Prof. Silvia Giordani presented our research on multilayer fullerenes at the 2nd COST NanoSpace Joint Scientific Meeting at BAU university in Istanbul.
In this presentation, multilayers fullerenes, also known as carbon nano-onions (CNOs), were discussed as a potential vesicle for nanocarrier-type drug delivery systems.
