Dywedodd Yr Athro Tossapon Boongoen o’n hadran, sydd yn rhan o’r tîm ymchwil rhyngwladol: “Mae’r potensial yn anferth – mae’r tîm cyfan yn gobeithio y gall wneud gwir wahaniaeth wrth ymdrin â rhai o glefydau peryclaf y bydd.”

Professor Tossapon Boongoen from the our department, who is part of this international research team, said: “The potential is enormous - the whole team really hopes it can make a real difference to tackling some of the world’s deadliest diseases.”
