Congratulations Hugh Mohan on winning the runner up at the Dublin City University DCU Graduate Studies Office 🎓 #TellitStraight competition this afternoon! Also it was great to see the whole Giordani group in support! 🥳🎊🎉 Proud PhD advisor day! ☺️#WeAreDCU

Check out the latest paper from the Giordani group! We have developed a targeted carbon nano-onion based nanocarrier for treating drug resistant breast cancer. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…… Research Ireland Nanoscale journal family Royal Society of Chemistry DCU Science and Health Silvia Giordani #CancerResearch

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

I enjoyed our ⁦Dublin City University⁩ Spring Open Day, giving taste lectures about what our School have to offer, providing laboratory tours and answering questions from interested high school students and parents at the stand together with my colleagues and postgraduate students.

Delighted with our latest paper on B/N-CNOs for targeted breast cancer therapy published open access in Nanoscale. Congratulations Hugh Mohan and Michał Bartkowski. I am very grateful to Research Ireland for funding and to my collaborators Università di Torino and Universidad Zaragoza pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

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

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
