Trosolwyg
Mae gennyf MSc mewn Cemeg Organig Ffisegol o Brifysgol Turin (synthesis a nodweddu syrffactyddion cationig) a PhD mewn cemeg organig anghymesur o Ysgol Cemeg Caerdydd, (atropisomeric bis-quinazolinones).
Cynhaliais fy hyfforddiant ôl-ddoethurol ym Mhrifysgol Emory (synthesis cyfnod solid o liwiau polymethine) ac yn labordy yr Athro George Olah, enillydd Gwobr Nobel , ym Mhrifysgol Southern California, lle rwy'n ennill arbenigedd mewn organofluorine, organoboron a chemeg polymer ).
Ers 2011, rwyf wedi bod yn gweithio yng ngrŵp Chris McGuigan lle roeddwn yn ymwneud â phrosiectau darganfod cyffuriau amrywiol.
Mae ymchwil yn fy ngrŵp yn cynnwys dylunio a synthesis moleciwlau bach fel therapiwteg yn erbyn Clefydau Prin (anhwylder cynhenid glycosylation, Niemann-Pick, Cystinosis a myopathi GNE), clefydau heintus, ac yn ddiweddar darganfod cyffuriau gwrthffyngol
Arbenigeddau Allweddol
- Organofluorine, organoffosfforws, cemeg carbohydradau.
- Dylunio a synthesis prodrugs ffosffad / ffosfforate o sgaffaldiau carbohydrad
- Cyffur trosiadol Darganfod
- Darganfod cyffuriau clefydau prin: anhwylderau rhyddhau GNE, Cystinosis a Niemann-Pick.
- Synthesis moleciwlau bach gyda gweithgareddau gwrthffyngol

Bywgraffiad
Cefais fy ngradd MSc mewn cemeg organig ffisegol o Brifysgol Turin (synthesis a nodweddu syrffactyddion cationig). Ar ôl treulio tair blynedd yn y diwydiant PCB fel gwyddonydd fformiwleiddiwr, cefais fy PhD mewn cemeg organig synthetig (Ysgol Cemeg Caerdydd, bis-quinazolinones atropisomeric fel cynorthwywyr ar gyfer synthesis anghymesur). Cynhaliais fy hyfforddiant ôl-ddoethurol ym Mhrifysgol Emory (synthesis cyfnod solid o liwiau polymethine) ac yn labordy yr Athro George Olah, ym Mhrifysgol Southern California (organofluorine, organoboron a chemeg polymer).
Ers 2011, rydw i wedi bod yn gweithio yng ngrŵp Chris McGuigan lle roeddwn i'n ymwneud â phrosiectau cemeg meddyginiaethol amrywiol yn rhychwantu synthesis diastereoselective o prodrugs, niwcleosidau (cylchol ac acyclic), i wrthweithydd derbynyddion androgenaidd fflworinedig ar gyfer trin canser y prostad, a dylunio a synthesis cyfansoddion newydd sy'n gweithredu ar y System Nerfol Ganolog).
Yn 2016, cefais fy nyrchafu yn Gymrawd Ymchwil mewn cemeg feddyginiaethol. Fy niddordebau ymchwil cyfredol yw synthesis gwrthfiotigau fflworineiddio newydd ar gyfer trin heintiau bacteriol Gram-positif a ffurfio bioffilm (mewn cydweithrediad â'r Athro Hans Steenackers ym Mhrifysgol Leuven) ac mewn anhwylderau cynhenid glycosylation. Mae gennyf ddiddordeb hefyd mewn dylunio cyffuriau ar gyfer trin anhwylderau storio lysosomaidd (Niemann-Pick, Huntington) mewn cydweithrediad â'r Athro Lloyd-Evans (Ysgol Biowyddoniaeth Caerdydd).
