Trosolwyg
Rwy'n Gymrawd Ymchwil yn yr Ysgol Fferylliaeth a'r Gwyddorau Fferyllol, Prifysgol Caerdydd gyda mwy na 10 mlynedd o brofiad ymchwil ym maes prodrugs ffosffad niwcleoside. Ar hyn o bryd, gan weithio fel Cymrawd Ymchwil, rwy'n ymwneud â'r prosiectau gwrth-ganser sy'n anelu at gyflwyno ymgeiswyr clinigol newydd.
Graddiais mewn Biotechnoleg yn 2001 o Brifysgol Technoleg Wrocław, Gwlad Pwyl. Yn dilyn gradd M.S. dechreuais PhD mewn cemeg organig yn K.U. Leuven (Gwlad Belg) dan oruchwyliaeth yr Athro Georges Hoornaert. Roedd fy ngwaith PhD yn canolbwyntio ar ddylunio, synthesis a gwerthusiad biolegol o analogau methylene-pontydd heterocycles biolegol.
Yn 2008, ymunais â grŵp yr Athro Chris McGuigan. Yn ystod y gwaith fel Cydymaith Ymchwil, roeddwn yn ymwneud â llawer o brosiectau gan gynnwys rhaglen gwrthganser a arweiniodd at ddarganfod asiantau treialon clinigol, megis NUC-1031 (Acelarin) a NUC-3373.
Mae'r prif ddiddordebau gwyddonol yn cynnwys cemeg niwclews (t) analogau ide a prodrugs, proses darganfod cyffuriau a datblygu ym maes oncoleg a firoleg. Mae diddordebau ymchwil diweddar yn cynnwys ymchwil glinigol a dyluniad treialon cam cynnar.

Ymchwil
Hyd yma mae fy ymchwil wedi canolbwyntio'n bennaf ar ddylunio a synthesis rhesymegol prodrugs ffosffad niwcleosid gyda gweithgaredd gwrth-ganser posibl gan ddefnyddio'r dechnoleg ProTide. Gall y dull hwn, a gymhwysir i'r therapiwteg niwcleosid anticancer a gwrthfeirysol clinigol neu anghlinigol analog (NA) wella eu heffeithiolrwydd therapiwtig yn sylweddol trwy oresgyn y mecanweithiau gwrthiant allweddol sy'n gysylltiedig â defnyddio NAs yn glinigol fel derbyn, actifadu a chwalu. Mae fy ymchwil yn cael ei ariannu'n allanol gan NuCana plc, cwmni biofferyllol cyfnod clinigol yng Nghaeredin, gyda'n prif ddiddordeb mewn datblygu meddyginiaethau gwrth-ganser i wella canlyniadau triniaeth i gleifion yn sylweddol. Arweiniodd y cydweithrediad dros ddegawd â NuCana at ddarganfod a datblygu clinigol y tri asiant ProTide, Acelarin, NUC-3373 a NUC-7738. Derbyniodd y Acelarin mwyaf datblygedig yn glinigol (NUC-1031), trawsnewidiad ProTide gemcitabine, ym mis Mehefin 2019 ddynodiad cyffuriau amddifad gan yr FDA ar gyfer trin canser y llwybr deuol. Ar y cyd â gwyddonwyr Ysgol Feddygol Prifysgol Sussex, Brighton and Sussex a Phrifysgol St Andrews, mae'r Ysgol Meddygaeth yn canolbwyntio ar sgrinio a deall mecanweithiau gweithredu posibl ProTides newydd mewn gwahanol linellau celloedd canser.
Yn y gorffennol, mewn cydweithrediad â Sefydliad Rega, roeddwn yn ymwneud â llawer o brosiectau gyda'r nod o ddylunio, synthesis a gwerthuso cyfansoddion yn fiolegol yn erbyn gwahanol fathau o firysau.
