Trosolwg

Mae Dr Emma Kenyon yn ddarlithydd Niwrowyddoniaeth. Mae hi wedi bod yn gweithio ym maes Niwrowyddoniaeth Synhwyraidd ers 10 mlynedd. Mae ei hymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar glyw a chydbwysedd gan ddefnyddio pysgod rhesog fel system enghreifftiol. Mae gan Emma 20 mlynedd o brofiad o ddefnyddio pysgod rhesog mewn nifer o feysydd biolegol gwahanol. Yn 2019 dyfarnwyd iddi Gymrodoriaeth Pauline Ashley gan yr RNID (AOHL gynt) i ymchwilio i rôl RabGTPases o ran symudiad mewngellol gwrthfiotigau aminoglycosid mewn celloedd gwallt synhwyraidd. Yn 2022, dechreuodd yn Ysgol Feddygaeth Abertawe fel darlithydd Niwrowyddoniaeth.

PM-130 Fundamental Research Skills

This module is designed to develop the skills required for students of biochemistry and genetics degree programmes. Students meet with their tutors and will be given a series of assignments designed to develop skills in key areas such as essay writing, presentations and general numeracy.
PM-275 Introduction to neuroscience

In order to help students understand the biological basis for behavioural neuroscience and neurological disorders, this module seeks to integrate cell biology, physiology and biochemistry to understand the founding principles of neuroscience. The aim is to gain a mechanistic and holistic knowledge of the nervous system that builds from the molecular, cellular and developmental, to the systems level. In addition to exploring normal function, this module will introduce common disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems in an integrated way. Students will be guided in exploring the scientific evidence around what is known and unknown and will be introduced to current research findings in the scientific literature.
PM-275C Cyflwyniad i Niwrowyddoniaeth

Er mwyn helpu myfyrwyr i ddeall y sail fiolegol ar gyfer niwrowyddoniaeth ymddygiadol ac anhwylderau niwrolegol, mae'r modiwl hwn yn ceisio integreiddio bioleg celloedd, ffisioleg a biocemeg i ddeall egwyddorion sylfaenol niwrowyddoniaeth. Y nod yw meithrin gwybodaeth fecanistig a chyfannol o'r system nerfol sy'n adeiladu o'r lefel foleciwlaidd, gellog a datblygiadol, i lefel systemau. Yn ogystal ag archwilio gweithrediad normal, bydd y modiwl hwn yn cyflwyno anhwylderau cyffredin y brif systemau nerfol a pherifferol mewn ffordd integredig. Caiff myfyrwyr eu harwain i archwilio'r dystiolaeth wyddonol ynghylch yr hyn sy'n hysbys ac yn anhysbys a byddant yn cael cyflwyniad i ganfyddiadau ymchwil cyfredol yn y llenyddiaeth wyddonol.
PM-344 Capstone Project

The aim of this module is to provide a capstone experience to students¿ learning, through participating in their own enquiry-based research project, with guidance from an academic supervisor. The project may be laboratory or non-laboratory based, but it will always involve a research question that is drawn from the literature, and focused on a topic relevant to the life sciences. It will ask a research question and involve the critical analysis of research findings. Students will refine their oral and written communication skills to a graduate level through an oral presentation and dissertation on their research findings and conclusions.
PMLM22 Laboratory Measurement Techniques for Medical Sciences

This module will enable students to understand the basic and advanced concepts of laboratory and measurement techniques used in medical sciences, how they may be applied with relevant methods of detection, gain `hands on¿ problem solving experience and strategic method development for complete bioanalysis according to target molecule characteristics and method application.
PMNM14 Contemporary Issues in Medical Science

This module will allow students to choose from a range of short contemporary topics in Medical Sciences including screening for new therapeutic compounds, using model systems to understand human disease and disorders, using behavioral tools and open-source analysis software to answer contemporary questions in neuroscience such as how defects in genes or drugs influence behavior. There will also be the opportunity to select introductory journal club or lean sessions with potential dissertation supervisors. The focus on techniques is complemented by seminars on the ethics of human and animal studies. Each topic will be approximately 1 day and students will be able to pick 4-5 topics.
PMNM19J Contemporary Issues in Medical Science

This module will allow students to choose from a range of short contemporary topics in Medical Sciences including screening for new therapeutic compounds, using model systems to understand human disease and disorders, using behavioral tools and open-source analysis software to answer contemporary questions in neuroscience such as how defects in genes or drugs influence behavior. There will also be the opportunity to select introductory journal club or lean sessions with potential dissertation supervisors.
