The variety and breadth of the topics covered within Biomedical Science hugely appeals to me. I have always had an interest in learning, especially when it comes to science and living things. In high school, I developed an interest in chemistry and biology. I took college level chemistry as a junior and was captivated by the fact that everything is composed of microscopic atoms that are continuously moving. Even more so, the thought of how these moving atoms combine to create molecules, which make up organisms that cause diseases and interact with the human body, completely enthralled me. What really kindled my passion for biology and diseases was in microbiology; we grew organisms on petri dishes and then used select antibiotics to see which would fight off the organism the best. I learned how this experiment could be applied to the medical field, and that this was actually done in hospital laboratories. …show more content…
The tour guide and I spent a great deal of time in blood banking; she told a story of how she has caught three blood units that were mistyped by the donating agency. She explained what would have happened to the patients if she had not caught the mistake, this was when I realized the magnitude of this profession and that I wish to specialize in blood sciences. I love the idea of a career spent researching something that I'm passionate about, something that continually fascinates me.
In high school, I had two jobs at local retail stores where my responsibilities included running a till, keeping the store tidy, and training new employees. I had to work well under pressure, which meant I had to be able to work both in a team and independently. Success in retail stores, as well as hospitals, depends on the collaboration of everyone working in them. I learned to appreciate the benefits of effective teamwork during my
Since a young age, I always felt inclined towards pursuing a career in the health care field; daydreaming about myself working at a clinic or hospital and making a positive impact on someone’s life. When I started college, I decided to major in Biology and explored the different career options the health field had to offer me by shadowing dietitians, nurses, physicians, and other healthcare workers to find my ideal job.
Please explain your reasons for wanting to participate in the Garcia Center Summer Scholar Program.
As a food science major with an interest in nutritional sciences the regulation of lipid synthesis would be a comprehensive topic that would allow me to develop my research abilities in a setting applicable to both my major and my interests. Using molecular biology and chemical processes, assisting in determining what mechanism is used to how phosphorylated PA phosphatase would allow me to learn both new lab techniques and new concepts in the fields of microbiology and biochemistry. My interests in food science have always been with either food microbiology or food chemistry with some interest in sensory science. I hope to explore all of these fields of food science during my time here at Rutgers to aid me in finding what I love to do. Along
The desire to help people and make a difference in the society is what attracted me to the field of medicine. As a child I was always interested in science as a subject and participated in many National Level Science competitions. I volunteered for Urban Leprosy control program, which gave me an opportunity to interact with Leprosy patients and participate in activities aimed at educating people about the disease and disease prevention. It was during this time that I had a chance to closely observe the relationship between a doctor and the patient and I decided that I wanted to pursue a career in the field of medicine.
Although I was pretty good at science, my favorite subject was math. I was always the best in math and I loved the feeling of dissecting complex problems, and trying different methods and techniques to eventually get to the right answer. To me, math problems were like a puzzle and I had the tools to figure them out. Medicine is a lot like math in that every patient is the puzzle and it is the physician’s job to diagnose and figure out how to solve it.
Since science has always fascinated me, I have been trying to do something interesting in order to expand upon my prior knowledge of science. My interest for a career in medicine started when I was in middle school. My mom, an emergency room nurse, would always tell stories about all of the intriguing events that took place in the ER, including in depth stories about injuries and how the doctors and nurses respond to them. These stories always fascinated me because I wanted to be part of the team administering the treatment to the patients. I constantly put myself in the feet of the medical providers, thinking of ways of how I could provide that treatment differently.
I have always had an interest in pursuing a career in the medical research field. When I was younger I wanted to become a part of the medical field because I was fascinated by how the human body functions and heals itself. I have always been curious, inventive and willing to ask questions and find answers. Bioengineering allows me to take these traits and implement them in a career involving medical based research. The technological advances we have made so far in enhancing healing and performance in humans is astounding.
1 Throughout my learning and early years at comprehensive school I began to take an increased 2 interest in science and pursued this interest by studying science at A-level. This was the 3 subject that most stimulated my passion for learning and continues to do so at university. I 4 have thoroughly enjoyed my first year of Biomedical Science gaining a fundamental 5 understanding of topics ranging from cell and organ function to microbiology. My ultimate goal 6 is a career in Dentistry and an undergraduate course in Biomedical Science would not only 7 provide a strong scientific framework but also develop my appreciation and understanding of 8 the phenomenal world of science. 9
This led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Biophysics and Molecular Biology. It is my unchanging aspiration to explore and to discover the mysteries of the inner workings
Science and specifically biology has always been my favorite subject. The subject matter and challenge in science classes kept me engaged, and learning how a new discovery could change lives made my studies seem worthwhile. Anatomy and physiology, however, was the class that stood out to me the most. Learning what makes us, us, coming up with diagnoses,
During these past four years, one field that particularly stood out for me is Immunology. I think that this is a field that is really interesting, complex and acts as an intersection to a majority of the fields. Research in Immunology can give rise to a lot of answers on how to treat diseases and one such definite area is Cancer Biology. I have defined my interests based on what I have experienced and my initial interests in Immunology was because of a combination of a research project in Microbiology and social service as part of the National Service Scheme. Through my work, I realized that one way of curing communicable diseases was by keeping the environment clean but the ultimate prevention or cure was through the action of the immune system and this is what brought me to this field.
I’ve always had a penchant for science. With its many unique fields, from chemistry to biology to physics, I’m never at a loss for interesting experiments to perform or phenomena to research. My favorite part of any experiment is the excitement that comes from waiting for results and seeing whether everything turned out the way it planned. During my junior year, in biology class, my classmates and I had the opportunity to participate in an Escherichia coli cultivation lab that even included transforming the bacteria with Penicillin resistant recombinant plasmids. I got to learn so much about microbiology because we go to handle each step of the process ourselves.
My passion for a career in Clinical laboratory science stems from a key experience with a li-censed Clinical laboratory scientist. On one day in the church , I was in dire need of help finding a job that can help me study medical in the future. For the first time I encountered professional-ism, knowledge, and humanity all at once. And this wasn’t a one-off experience. Each time I re-turned to the church, the exact same thing occurred: The Clinical laboratory scientist never seized to take the opportunity to encourage and help me knows better about the great work of Clinical laboratory scientists. From that moment, I decided to do my master in that field.
In my senior year, I worked on a research in ophthalmology and genetics. Meeting the patients, cooperating in the lab with researchers and using advanced lab equipment for the first time enhanced my thrill about biomedical engineering. Even though I enjoyed electrical engineering, I was still fascinated by biomedical engineering.
I have always been intrigued by the field of science and that is the reason I pursued the field of Biochemistry for my undergraduate studies. How The Human body works and the different determinants that can affect one's health or a community as a whole have always been captivating to me. I wanted to emerge in a profession that is beneficial for me, my community, and the world I live in. I came to realize through various science courses and health care experiences that a career in health care was the best path for me to outreach my community and the world.
