🎉Congratulations to the winners, runners-up, and every participant in the #TellitStraight competition! 🏆 Your dedication, talent, and hard work were truly inspiring👏 A huge well done to all🌟 #WeAreDCU Sharon O’Brien Daire Keogh

Thanks a million Silvia!

Warm welcome Francesco Calzaferri ⁦Francesco Calzaferri (He/Him)⁩ I am delighted to have you onboard and I wish you continued success in research and a great time with us ⁦Dublin City University⁩

Congratulations Yingru Zhou and all the coauthors of our latest article “Synthesis of Carbon Dots from Spent Coffee Grounds: Transforming Waste into Potential Biomedical Tools” published in Nanoscale pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Thank you so much, Silvia, for your support in making this achievement possible! Huge appreciation and congratulations to all co-authors for their valuable contributions. Excited to see our work published in Nanoscale!

Our recent hire, Dr. Francesco Calzaferri Francesco Calzaferri (He/Him) gave an excellent seminar ⁦DCU Life Sciences Institute⁩ this week and sparked a lot of interest. He clearly showed that great things can be achieved combining chemistry 🧪 with biology! 🧫 🧬 Bravo ! 👏 👏 👏

Excited to share the new study from the Giordani group (Silvia Giordani), with Hugh Mohan as first author, on B/N-doped carbon nano-onion nanocarriers for targeted doxorubicin delivery in drug-resistant breast cancer. 👉 doi.org/10.1039/D4NR04… DCU School of Chemical Sciences #CancerResearch

The Giordani Group’s nanocarrier research was featured in The Irish Times! 📰 Targeted drug delivery using carbon nano-onions—towards safer chemo and fewer side effects! 🔗 irishtimes.com/science/2025/0… Silvia Giordani Dublin City University

Thanks Sean Duke for such a nice article highlighting our research on The Irish Times today. We are excited about our promising results which encourage us for further studies to make chemotherapy safer and more effective. Dublin City University DCU Science and Health DCU Research Research Ireland

A new drug delivery method developed by Silvia Giordani at Dublin City University could lead to improved chemotherapy with fewer side effects. The nanotechnology-based drug delivery targets cancer more precisely. Read more on @irishtimes: irishtimes.com/science/2025/0… DCU Research DCU Science and Health

Thrilled to see our artwork featured on the back cover of RSC Nanoscale for our recent article on transforming spent coffee grounds into biomedical tools☕⚗️ 🔗doi.org/10.1039/D4NR05… Huge thanks to the group, Yingru Zhou (first author), and Silvia Giordani!! Nanoscale journal family

1/4 Our latest research shows how spent coffee grounds can be turned into biomedical nanomaterials. 🔗independent.ie/regionals/cork… 📄DOI: 10.1039/D4NR05186F

4/4 Huge thanks to everyone at DCU and the Giordani Lab for their brilliant work, esp. Silvia Giordani, our lead PI, without whom this would not be possible. Yingru Zhou Sofia Dominguez Dublin City University 🔗irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4163… 📄DOI: 10.1039/D4NR05186F

Engineered B/N-doped carbon nano-onions coated with a hyaluronic acid targeting agent carry doxorubicin to triple-negative breast cancer cells, enhancing efficacy while mitigating cardiotoxicity. Silvia Giordani Hugh Mohan Michał Bartkowski Read more here: doi.org/10.1039/D4NR04…

Very happy to represent our Carbon dots also at the 22nd SFRR-I Biennial Meeting in Galway! ✨ Europe-SFRR Research Ireland Dublin City University

Had a fantastic week at #Carbon2025 in Saint-Malo 🇫🇷! I had the honour of opening Topic 1 with a keynote on carbon nano-onions for drug delivery 🏆 @HughMohan won Best PhD Oral Presentation 🧪 Aravind presented a great poster on CNO dispersibility Proud of them! 💪

Thanks Silvia!
