Mae gan Dr Webber ddiddordeb hirsefydlog yn y broses o reoleiddio ffenoteip celloedd stromatig. Gwnaeth gwblhau PhD yn Sefydliad Arenneg Prifysgol Caerdydd yn 2009. Ar ôl hynny, cyflwynodd ddealltwriaeth o ddynodi beta TGF (ffactor twf trawsnewidiol) i faes canser drwy archwilio rôl fesiclau allgellol (EVs) bach, a elwir fel rheol yn ecsosomau, wrth fodylu microamgylchedd tiwmorau.

Yn 2014, derbyniodd Dr Webber gymrodoriaeth datblygu gyrfa uchel ei bri, wedi'i hariannu gan Prostate Cancer UK (2014 – 2020). Rhoddodd hon y cyfle iddo archwilio defnyddio fesiclau allgellol mewn modd trawsfudol, yn bennaf fel biofarcwyr i ganfod tiwmorau ymosodol (y prostad ac eraill) yn gynnar. Atgyfnerthwyd y profiad hwn gan hyfforddiant ychwanegol yng Nghanolfan Feddygol Prifysgol Erasmus yn Rotterdam.

Mae diddordebau ymchwil presennol Dr Webber yn parhau i ganolbwyntio ar rôl fesiclau allgellol wrth i diwmorau ddatblygu a datblygu biofarcwyr sy'n seiliedig ar fesiclau allgellol. Mae mentrau cydweithredol diweddar wedi rhoi cyfle iddo ehangu'r gwaith ymchwil hwn i gynnwys clefydau megis canser y fron, mesothelioma a sglerosis cnapiog (tuberous scleroris). Mae Dr Webber yn aelod presennol o fwrdd yr elusen UK Society for Extracellular Vesicles.

Mae Dr Webber yn goruchwylio nifer o fyfyrwyr ymchwil ôl-raddedig ar lefel MSc a PhD, ac mae'n cyfrannu at addysgu amrywiaeth o raglenni yn Ysgol Feddygaeth Prifysgol Abertawe.

'Deall pam mae rhai canserau'n fwy ymosodol nag eraill'

Mae ymchwil Dr Webber yn canolbwyntio ar rôl fesiclau allgellol (EVs) bach, a elwir yn aml yn ecsosomau, wrth symbylu canser ymosodol y prostad. Yn y gorffennol, mae wedi dangos y gall fesiclau allgellol actifadu celloedd stromatig, sydd hefyd yn bresennol ym microamgylchedd tiwmorau, a thrwy hynny hwyluso twf tiwmorau. Mae'n debygol bod fesiclau allgellol yn gweithredu fel hyn o ganlyniad i proteoglycans sylffad heparin (HSPGs), sy'n bresennol ar arwyneb fesicl allgellol, ac sy'n ofynnol at ddiben cyflwyno ffactor twf fesiclau allgellol-gyfryngol. Yn ogystal â'u rôl weithredol, gall EV-HSPGs o'r fath fod yn fiofarcwyr newydd sy'n gallu gwahaniaethu rhwng cleifion sy'n dioddef o fathau ymosodol o ganser, a'r rhai sy'n dioddef o diwmorau sy'n tyfu'n araf.

Ar hyn o bryd, mae Dr Webber yn archwilio methodolegau newydd ar gyfer cyfuno biofarcwyr lluosog, ac mae ganddo ddiddordeb mewn defnyddio ymagweddau sy'n seiliedig ar ddeallusrwydd artiffisial at y diben hwn.

Mae'r diddordebau ymchwil ychwanegol yn labordy Dr Webber yn cynnwys ynysu fesiclau allgellol rhag biohylif, dadansoddiad gweithredol o fesiclau allgellol, a'u rôl mewn clefydau prin (e.e. sglerosis cnapiog (tuberous scleroris)).

PM-006 Foundation to health data and its application

The module aims to provide a student with an understanding of data and information. It will examine what information is, how it is collected, manipulated, presented and interpreted and why data driven decision making is a much more subjective process than it might appear. The primary aim is to provide a strong foundation of ideas that will properly prepare students for further study. The secondary aim is provide some of the skills necessary to manipulate and manage data.
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-317 Genetics of Cancer

This module will provide students with an advanced understanding about the genetic mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis, and how these underlying processes and molecules affect the human body.
PM-340 Being a Medical Scientist

Much of a scientist¿s career is spent writing and speaking about science. The aim of this module is to give students a higher level experience of what being a lead researcher is like, away from the lab bench. Drawing on core knowledge from other modules, students will refine their oral and written communication and learn what leadership skills are needed to succeed in modern science. They will also be challenged to consider ethical aspects of research, including new technologies and the use of animal and human subjects. The module will be highly interactive, taught using informal lectures interspersed with students working in groups.
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.
PM-376 Advanced Research Topics in Biomedical Science

This module seeks to provide students with an understanding of a diverse array of research topics within the field of Biomedical science as representative of the diverse research activity at Swansea University. Topics will reflect the current research staff activity, but may include topics such as extracellular vesicles, lipidomics, cardiovascular research, cancer therapeutics and biomaterials research. Students will gain a background to each topic, an appreciation of the current methodologies utilised within each field and the current research developments within these.
PMNM12 Research Innovation and Management

The growth of the personalised medicine industry and advances within medicine and engineering that have led to the emergence of nanomedicine, present exciting opportunities for the development of advanced therapeutics. However, the management of research and innovation from discovery through to the transition to clinical trial, present unique project management, regulatory and ethical challenges that must be considered to effectively develop new diagnostics and therapeutics. This module will take students through the development process for a novel nanomedicine, highlighting the project management, ethical and regulatory considerations at each stage. The module will also explore the challenges faced from an academic and industry perspective, as well as providing the opportunity for students to learn from industry leaders with direct experience of the research and innovation journey.
