Biowyddorau moleciwlaidd
Nod y Biowyddorau Moleciwlaidd yw deall mecanweithiau moleciwlau a chelloedd bywyd, gyda chymwysiadau ym meysydd iechyd, diogelwch bwyd a datblygiad technolegol.
ae’r gwaith ymchwil hwn yn integreiddio ymchwil fiolegol sylfaenol, ac yn datblygu’r technegau diweddaraf ym maes biodechnoleg a modelu, er mwyn i ni fedru rhagfynegi sut bydd systemau biolegol yn ymateb i newid.
Meysydd ymchwil
Mae ein hymchwil fiofeddygol yn cwmpasu tri phrif faes ffocws:
- Deall systemau moleciwlaidd a chellog – defnyddio dulliau biogemegol, strwythurol a phenoteipio cellog i ddeall swyddogaeth fiolegol ar lefel y moleciwl.
- Bioleg ddatblygiadol a modelu – defnyddio dulliau amlraddfa i ddeall a modelu prosesau datblygiadol a bôn-gelloedd mewn organebau enghreifftiol allweddol megis pryfed a phlanhigion.
- Delweddu a pheirianyddu systemau biolegol – defnyddio dulliau rhyngddisgyblaeth mewn bioleg, ffiseg a chemeg i ddelweddu a chreu systemau biolegol.
Cydweithrediadau
Mae gennym gysylltiadau agos gyda Chemeg mewn bioleg strwythurol a gyda Ffiseg yn natblygiad technolegau delweddu uwch, ac yn cydweithio’n fyd-eang gyda phartneriaid diwydiannol ac academaidd.
Mae is-adran y Biodwyddorau Moleciwlaidd hefyd yn arwain pump o’r saith Canolbwynt Ymchwil Technoleg yn Ysgol y Biowyddorau, gan adlewyrchu ei chryfderau technolegol.
Ceisiadau PhD a Chymrodoriaeth
Mae croeso i ddarpar ymgeiswyr cymrodoriaeth sydd â diddordebau sy’n mapio ar y meysydd ymchwil adrannol gysylltu.
Rydym yn croesawu ceisiadau gan fyfyrwyr PhD sydd â diddordebau ymchwil sy’n gweddu i’n meysydd ymchwil strategol.
