Trosolwyg
Rwy'n gweithio yn y Ganolfan Addysg Feddygol yma yn Ysgol Meddygaeth Prifysgol Caerdydd. Rwyf wedi cael amrywiaeth o rolau ym maes addysg feddygol ac ar hyn o bryd rwy'n Gyfarwyddwr ar gyfer Blwyddyn 3 y MBBCh. Dyma flwyddyn gyntaf Cam 2 y cwricwlwm meddygaeth israddedig lle mae myfyrwyr yn treulio cyfran fawr o'u hamser yn dysgu tra ar leoliad mewn amgylcheddau clinigol.
Rwy'n wyddonydd sydd â chefndir ymchwil a diddordeb arbennig yn y system imiwnedd a'i chynnwys mewn clefyd llidiol cronig. Roedd llawer o'm hymchwil flaenorol yn canolbwyntio ar rôl celloedd gwyn y gwaed (niwtroffiliaid a macroffagau) mewn clefydau llwybr anadlu fel Fibrosis Systig. Mae fy angerdd am imiwnoleg a'i gysylltiad â chlefyd dynol yn parhau yn fy rolau amrywiol yn y Ganolfan Addysg Feddygol.
Rwy'n arwain ar gyfer yr Achos Meddygaeth Anadlol ar gyfer ein myfyrwyr Blwyddyn 1.
Yn ogystal â'r rolau hyn, rwy'n ymgymryd ag ystod o weithgareddau addysgu ac asesu ar draws y cwricwlwm MBBCh 5 mlynedd a'r BSc mewn Ffarmacoleg Feddygol.
