Trosolwg

Mae Dr Laura Galante yn ddarlithydd mewn iechyd cyhoeddus babanod a phlant yn Ysgol Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol Prifysgol Abertawe. Graddiodd yn 2020 gyda PhD mewn gwyddoniaeth fiofeddygol o Sefydliad Liggins, Prifysgol Auckland, lle astudiodd sut mae nodweddion mamau a babanod, rhyw babanod yn benodol, yn cyfrannu at ddiffinio ‘olion bysedd’ hormonaidd penodol mewn llaeth mamol.

Rhwng 2020 a 2022 cwblhaodd ôl-ddoethuriaeth mewn bioleg esblygiadol yn Adran Bioleg Prifysgol Turku yn y Ffindir, lle ehangodd ei diddordeb ymchwil trwy gymhwyso ei gwybodaeth i astudio eliffantod Asiaidd.

Mae diddordeb ymchwil Dr Galante yn ymwneud ag ystyr eco-esblygiadol buddsoddiad rhyw-benodol gan famau, yn enwedig llaetha, mewn perthynas ag argaeledd adnoddau mamol ac ansawdd yr amgylchedd byw.

Ers ei PhD, mae Dr Galante wedi bod yn aelod gweithgar iawn o’r Gymdeithas Ymchwil Llaeth Dynol a Llaethu (ISRHML) ac wedi sefydlu cydweithrediadau helaeth ar draws y byd ar sawl prosiect sy’n ymwneud ag astudio mamau a babanod dynol ac eliffantod.

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.
