Recommended: The concept of mentorship

Since graduating high school three years ago I’ve had a solid understanding of what I wanted to study in college. In middle and high school, the life sciences always peaked my interest, in large part due to my extremely passionate and knowledgeable teachers. I also enjoyed solving problems and didn’t mind working hard. When I applied to WPI I saw Biomedical Engineering as everything I ever wanted; it represented a growing and diverse field in the life sciences and engineering where innovation could have a long-lasting impact on society. Since I got accepted to WPI, I have maintained this vision. As a junior BME at WPI I am focusing on tissue engineering and biomaterials and have been volunteering in Professor Gaudette’s lab since March 2017. Upon graduation, I hope to work at a research and development firm with the possibility of working in the field of academia as a BME one day. …show more content…

Membership in AEMB will allow me to make connections with many WPI faculty, staff, and alumni. Furthermore, membership in AEMB will allow me to further immerse myself in the field of BME. Just by being around other people who share common interests will allow me to learn so much more than being alone! Gaining membership in AEMB will also provide me with access to many meaningful leadership positions within the organization. Although I have had many leadership positions in the past, positions within AEMB are unique because they relate to my professional and scholarly interests. Taking part in one of these leadership positions will allow me to not only grow and mature as a leader and make relationships with many people, but expand my knowledge in BME. Additionally, because AEMB is highly-regarded nationally, gaining membership will enhance my own

    In high school, I enjoyed my chemistry, physical and earth science, and computational physics courses, but what I really loved was biology. Learning about cellular respiration and photosynthesis; how cells divide and replicate; and how DNA is passed from parent to offspring, imbuing traits and determining much of the life of the offspring fascinated me. When it came time to apply to WMU, I decided I wanted to be a doctor (what I thought to be the perfect combination of bettering society and biology), so I choose biomedical sciences as my major. When I got to Western, I enjoyed the subject matter of my coursework, but being an 18-year-old struggling with

    As a laboratory prep, I was able to set up labs for freshmen and sophomore biology classes. Also, I made visits to my professor’s labs to observe the procedures graduate students used for their experiments and I loved it. After completion of my freshman year, I participated in the “Maternal Child Health Pipeline Training Program” that following summer. I conducted field research that focused on the public health of mothers and children in rural communities. The fall semester of sophomore year, I shadowed graduate students studying breast cancer cells. Later that same year, I began my own research with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Upon my junior year, I was accepted into the Virginia College of Osteopathic Medical Program in Auburn, Alabama. At the same time, I was accepted into the Tropical and Infectious Diseases Association in Iquitos, Peru.

  • Interest in Biomedical Science

    713 Words  | 2 Pages

    The one instant I can pinpoint as the genesis of my interest in biomedical science was the winter of sixth grade, when I picked up a book on creativity and the brain. I found it fascinating, but what really struck me was that here was a several hundred page book that mostly talked about how little we knew about its topic. It made me think. This was supposed to be a book about how much we’ve learned, and what it’s saying is that the progress we’ve made is only in finding out how little we know. This didn’t upset me; it made me curious. Because, of all the things that we should know about, surely our own minds and our own bodies are paramount among them, and yet we still have so much to learn. I’ve since learned that this phenomenon is not restricted to the biological – gravity is one of the most important things in our lives, yet we do not know its cause. But the biomedical questions continue to fascinate me, perhaps because the answers are so vital. Sure, cosmology is intriguing, but what about a cure for cancer, or even the common cold? What about a way of repairing or bypass...

    Many great inventions have been made through research in biomedical engineering, for example, genetic engineering, cloning, and insulin. After insulin has been invented, there are still a lot of problems with the purity and the quantity of the insulin produced. Biomedical engineering devised a way to produce large quantities of insulin with a higher level of purity, which has saved a lot of human lives. Although biomedical engineering just been officially founded 200 years ago, its practice has been with us for centuries. According to The Whitaker Foundation website, 3,000-year-old mummy from Thebes, which uncovered by German archeologists, with a wooden prosthetic tied to its foot to serve as a big toe is the oldest known limb prosthesis and Egyptian listen to the internal of human anatomy using a hollow reed, which is what today’s stethoscope. No matter what the date, biomedical engineering has provided advances in medical technology to improve human health. These advances by biomedical engineering have created a significant impact to our lives. I have determined to become a biomedical engineer. Biomedical engineering will have a good prospect because it will become one of the most important careers in the future.

    I graduated from Oakland University in 2010 with Bachelor in Health Science. I have been working at Detroit Medical Center as Medical Technologist (MT) for last 5 years in Clincal Chemistry department. During my experience as a MT, I have realized the importance of the technology in the medical industry. Technology not only helps us to provide effective patient care, but also decrease costs for the provider and patient. With the use of technology, physicians’ orders are entered electronically on rather than on paper using Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE). Using paper costly, time consuming and can cause medical errors. With the introduction of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) which include all patient care data, medication information, their progress notes, lab results. The electronic records allows for the screening of potential medical or clerical errors and problems automatically.

    This choice was a natural consequence of two other passions that I have discovered and developed during my high school career - biology and helping others. By exploring biology through advanced courses and my involvement with Science Olympiad, I’ve developed a lasting sense of awe at the intricacy and beauty of the biological world, as well as a healthy awareness of the vast amount that we have yet to discover in the field. By formally joining my interests in biology and engineering at Vanderbilt, I would be able to enter a vibrant and tremendously dynamic field where I could explore the interactions between the engineering of nature and human engineering in ways that have never been done before. My final reason for studying biomedical engineering is that it would give me an ability to help others in a way that no other engineering field could. Biomedical engineering is the exploration of biology and engineering to have a positive impact on people’s lives, and this aligns perfectly with the importance that service to others holds in my life.
