Trosolwyg
Rwy'n Gydymaith Ymchwil / Rheolwr Treialon yn y Ganolfan Ymchwil Treialon (CTR) sy'n gweithio ar ddwy astudiaeth ymchwil iechyd byd-eang ac yn ddiweddar rwyf wedi pasio fy PhD mewn iechyd byd-eang.
Fy mhrosiectau cyfredol:
SunPad, portffolio ymchwil gyda gwaith ar hyn o bryd yn Kenya a Nepal. Cynhyrchion cyfnod hunan-lanhau sydd wedi'u cynllunio i ladd hyd at 99.999% o facteria pan fyddant yn agored i olau haul. Mae'r cynnyrch hwn yn cael ei brofi yn Nepal ac mae gweithgynhyrchu ac uwchsgilio yn cael ei archwilio yn Kenya. Mae'r ymchwil hon yn cael ei ariannu gan Sefydliad Gates ac mae'r CTR yn gweithio gydag Ysgolion Fferylliaeth a Chemeg yn ogystal â NGO, Global Action Nepal, a Phrifysgol Tribhuvan.
Mae rhai o'm gwaith blaenorol yn cynnwys:
Mae Astudiaeth POOL , sy'n astudiaeth sy'n ceisio sefydlu diogelwch genedigaethau dŵr, yn cael ei harwain gan Ysgol Gwyddorau Gofal Iechyd, Prifysgol Caerdydd ac mae wedi'i lleoli yn y DU ar draws 26 o safleoedd y GIG.
SIMCA astudiaeth sy'n archwilio'r ffactorau sy'n dylanwadu ar weithredu'r model gofal Bydwreigiaeth Parhad Gofalwr (MCoC) yn Lloegr: dadansoddiad traws-achos dull cymysg.
STEADFAST astudiaeth ymchwil sy'n edrych ar ganlyniadau addysg mewn pobl ifanc â diabetes: cyfranogiad arloesol a llywodraethu i gefnogi ymddiriedaeth y cyhoedd.
Mae PAN-COVID yn gofrestrfa fyd-eang dan arweiniad Coleg Imperial Llundain, gyda'r nod o werthuso cysylltiad COVID-19 a haint SARS-CoV-2 a gadarnhawyd mewn menywod mewn beichiogrwydd gyda: 1. Camesgoriad, 2. Cyfyngiad twf y ffetws a marw-enedigaeth, 3. Cyflenwi cyn y tymor a 4. Trosglwyddiad fertigol
Mae FEMUR III yn dreial rheoledig ar hap diffiniol a gwerthusiad economaidd o becyn adsefydlu cymunedol ar ôl torri clun dan arweiniad Prifysgol Lerpwl, CTR sy'n goruchwylio tri safle GIG yn Ne Cymru.
Marw-enedigaeth yn Nigeria Achosion a phenderfynyddion marw-enedigaeth yn Nigeria astudiaeth ddichonoldeb a ariennir gan y Gronfa Ymchwil Heriau Byd-eang.
BARNARDS (Baich Ymwrthedd i Wrthfiotigau mewn Newydd-anedig o Gymdeithasau sy'n Datblygu) a arweiniwyd gan Brifysgol Caerdydd ac a oedd yn astudiaeth fyd-eang gyda'r nod o bennu nifer yr achosion o sepsis mewn babanod newydd-anedig o saith gwlad incwm isel a chanolig yn ogystal â deall baich ymwrthedd i wrthfiotigau a ariannwyd gan Sefydliad Gates.
