Fy mhrif ddiddordeb yw canfod symiau olion o DNA mewn samplau biolegol. Mae hyn yn deillio o'r blynyddoedd a dreuliais yn gweithio fel Gwyddonydd Fforensig a dilyn egwyddor sylfaenol gwyddoniaeth fforensig bod 'pob cyswllt yn gadael olrhain'. Rwy'n arbenigo mewn cymhwyso ymhelaethiad DNA isothermol, ymhelaethiad dolen yn bennaf (LAMP), i gynyddu'r DNA targed olrhain i lefel sy'n ganfyddadwy. Rwy'n gweithio'n bennaf gyda chanfod bioluminescent ac mae gennyf gydweithrediad hirsefydlog gydag ERBA MDX yn Nhrelái, Swydd Gaergrawnt ac rwy'n defnyddio ystod o dechnegau delweddu i ddelweddu a chofnodi'r canlyniadau. Rwyf hefyd wedi datblygu ac ymchwilio i ddulliau canfod fflwroleuol amgen ar gyfer ymhelaethu DNA LAMP sydd wedi'u cyhoeddi'n ddiweddar.
Mae fy mhrosiect ymchwil presennol yn fy ngalluogi i archwilio meysydd newydd gyda chydweithrediad cyffrous ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd gyda'r Ysgolion Fferylliaeth a Pheirianneg, i ddefnyddio microhylifeg i gynhyrchu defnynnau a chelloedd artiffisial sy'n cynnwys adwaith ymhelaethu DNA bioluminescent. Mae sefydlogrwydd y defnynnau unffurf lluosog yn agor y posibilrwydd o feintioli LAMP digidol ac mae'r adwaith bioluminescent yn caniatáu inni astudio'r celloedd artiffisial.
Hefyd yn y prosiect rwyf wedi datblygu sgiliau dilyniannu a biowybodeg wrth gynulliad de novo llyngyr sydd o ddiddordeb milfeddygol cynyddol yn y DU. Prif nod y gwaith hwn yw datblygu prawf penodol, sensitif i ganfod yr haint hwn a chyfuno'r ymchwil hon â chynhyrchu defnynnau microhylifeg a chanfod ymhelaethu.
Cefnogir fy ymchwil gan raglen Sêr Cymru II Llywodraeth Cymru sy'n cael ei hariannu'n rhannol gan Brifysgol Caerdydd a Swyddfa Cyllid Ewropeaidd Cymru (WEFO) o dan Gronfa Datblygu Rhanbarthol Ewrop (ERDF).

Bywgraffiad
Cyn fy PhD ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, treuliais dros ddegawd yn gweithio fel Gwyddonydd Fforensig ym maes ymchwil a datblygu ac ar achosion ar gyfer y system cyfiawnder troseddol yn y Gwasanaeth Gwyddoniaeth Fforensig. Yn ystod fy PhD ac ymchwil ôl-ddoethurol ddilynol ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, canolbwyntiais ar feintioli DNA gyda chanfod fflwroleuol a bioluminescent.
Prosiect Cymrodoriaeth Sêr Cymru II:
Datblygu, gwerthuso a dilysu dyfais microhylifol ar gyfer canfod pathogenau gan ddefnyddio ymhelaethu DNA isothermol a chanfod bioluminescent. (Bioleg Moleciwlaidd)
Mae'r prosiect yn cyfuno ymhelaethu isothermol moleciwlau DNA targed gyda'r assay bioluminescent mewn amser real (BART), mewn cydweithrediad ag ERBA MDX, gan ddefnyddio biocemeg sy'n deillio o fireflies. Arweiniodd fy ymchwil PhD ac ôl-ddoethurol fi at ganfod a meintioli niferoedd isel iawn o foleciwlau DNA targed ac ysgogodd diddordeb mewn datblygu strategaeth meintioli ystod ddeinamig lawn sy'n gallu pennu crynodiadau o isel iawn i uchel iawn gyda chywirdeb. Mae'r prosiect yn fy ngalluogi i gydweithio ag arbenigwyr o'r Ysgolion Fferylliaeth a Pheirianneg ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd ym maes cyffrous microhylifeg. Mae ymgorffori adweithyddion bioluminescent mewn nifer lluosog o ddiferion unffurf bach yn rhoi data meintioli gwerthfawr i mi o ganfod golau. Datblygu dyfais syml sy'n dwyn ynghyd fanteision ymhelaethu DNA isothermol, canfod bioluminescent BART, cynhyrchu defnynnau microhylifol ac encapsulation gyda chanfod a dadansoddi golau, yw prif ffocws fy ymchwil. Mae gen i ddiddordeb hefyd yn natblygiad ensymau luciferase thermostable o fireflies ar gyfer canfod BART ac yn natblygu'r canfod DNA targed tuag at nifer o barasitiaid o ddiddordeb milfeddygol. Yn fwy diweddar, rwyf wedi datblygu diddordeb mewn genomeg, Oxford Nanopore Technology, MinION, dilyniannu a biowybodeg ar gyfer cynulliad genom de novo.
