This training school is part of the COST Action CA20121 and was hosted by Dr. Anna Grochot-Przeczek from Jagiellonian University. During the training school Yingru presented our research, facilitating in-depth discussions and knowledge exchange with experts in the field.

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?”.

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.

Prof. Silvia Giordani was invited to the IISER Thiruvananthapuram (TVM), in Kerala, India where she gave the seminar ‘Carbon Nano-Onions for Biomedical Applications’ as part of the seminar series by the director Prof. J N Moorthy

We are pleased to share that Prof. Silvia Giordani, from Dublin City University, recently delivered an informal session on ‘Women in Science: A Chat in the Western Ghats’. This event was organized to discuss the vital topic of gender representation in science.

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.

In this presentation, multilayers fullerenes, also known as carbon nano-onions (CNOs), were discussed as a potential vesicle for nanocarrier-type drug delivery systems.
