Cymrawd Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru (Llywodraeth Cymru) 2024-2027 - Rhyddhau Genomeg Modern ar gyfer Gwyliadwriaeth Iechyd Cyhoeddus Manwl o Cryptosporidium
Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar ddatblygu a chymhwyso dulliau cyfrifiadurol i ddadansoddi genomau pathogen. Drwy gydweithio'n agos ag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru, fy nod yw integreiddio'r offer a'r methodolegau hyn yn ddi-dor i ymarfer clinigol.
Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil yn cynnwys:
- Genomeg Cryptosporidium: Cyflogi genomeg poblogaeth i ddyfnhau ein dealltwriaeth o'r parasit un gell hwn a dyfeisio strategaethau i darfu ar ei drosglwyddiad.
- Methodolegau Cyfrifiadurol Newydd: Creu meddalwedd newydd ar gyfer dadansoddi genomau pathogen effeithlon, a gynlluniwyd i'w weithredu gan asiantaethau iechyd cyhoeddus.
- Gwyliadwriaeth Dŵr Gwastraff: Dadansoddi DNA o ddŵr gwastraff i fonitro mynychder pathogen o fewn y boblogaeth leol.
- Epidemioleg SARS-CoV-2 : Ymchwilio i epidemioleg SARS-CoV-2 yng Nghymru drwy gydol y pandemig.
