Timau a rolau for Kathy Triantafilou
Cadeirydd Imiwnoleg Pediatrig a Haint a Chyfarwyddwr yr Is-adran Heintiau ac Imiwnedd
Trosolwg
Fi yw Pennaeth Adran Heintiau ac Imiwnedd Prifysgol Caerdydd, Ysgol Meddygaeth. Rwyf hefyd yn Gadeirydd Imiwnoleg Pediatrig a Haint sy'n arwain y thema Llid yn yr Is-adran. Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar ddatrys y mecanweithiau moleciwlaidd y tu ôl i gydnabyddiaeth gynhenid bacteria yn ogystal â pathogenau firaol. Fy ffocws penodol yw ar dderbynyddion adnabod patrymau (PRRs) a synhwyro imiwnedd cynhenid y derbynyddion tebyg i doll (TLRs), y derbynyddion tebyg i NOD (NLRs, inflammasomes) a'r llwybr cGAS-STING yn ogystal â'u croessgwrs â llwybrau imiwnedd eraill fel y system ategu a sut y gallwn eu targedu'n therapiwtig ar gyfer gwahanol gyflyrau llidiol.

Ymchwil
Dros yr ychydig flynyddoedd diwethaf, mae'r grŵp Triantafilou wedi bod yn canolbwyntio ar ddatrys y mecanweithiau moleciwlaidd y tu ôl i gydnabyddiaeth gynhenid bacteria yn ogystal â pathogenau firaol. Yn benodol, rydym wedi canolbwyntio ar gynnwys derbynyddion adnabod patrymau (PRRs) fel y derbynyddion tebyg i doll (TLRs), y derbynyddion tebyg i NOD (NLRs, inflammasomes) yn ogystal â'r llwybr cGAS-STING a'u synhwyro imiwnedd cynhenid yn ogystal â'u croessiarad â llwybrau imiwnedd eraill fel y system Complement. Am y pum mlynedd diwethaf, rwyf wedi bod ar secondiad yn GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) fel rhan o gydweithrediad unigryw-academia diwydiant o'r enw Rhaglen Sabothol Catalydd Imiwnoleg Elion a Du er mwyn perfformio ymchwil feddygol. Mae ein gwaith diweddaraf yn y diwydiant fferyllol wedi bod yn canolbwyntio ar ddatrys mecanweithiau imiwnedd cynhenid ar gyfer gwerth clinigol uniongyrchol - gan drosi darganfyddiadau i feddyginiaethau posibl. Mae ein profiad yn GSK, wedi rhoi cipolwg gwych i ni ar sut mae'r rhaglenni darganfod cyffuriau yn gweithio. Yn ystod y cyfnod hwnnw, rydym wedi bod yn arwain prosiectau a oedd yn canolbwyntio ar synhwyro imiwnedd cynhenid firysau, rhyngweithiadau ymfflamychol ategu yn ogystal ag ymchwilio i sut mae imiwnometabolaeth yn modiwleiddio'r ymateb imiwnedd cynhenid, gyda blaenoriaeth i drosi'r canfyddiadau yn feddyginiaethau.
