Recommended: Technical advancement in medical field

The application of the principles biomedical science is a pivotal component, if not the cornerstone of the modern healthcare setting; which has greatly impacted the longevity of humanity. The discoveries and advances made in this field, bolstered my motivation and passion to study biomedical science, not only to develop my understanding of the complexity of the human body and its process’ but also to potentially play a role in improving the lives of others; as well as answering some of the complex questions life presents. My interest in the field, specifically the discipline of haematology, came in the diagnosis of my father’s autoimmune disease which causes a depletion of platelets and thus affecting the ability of the blood to clot. Through my studies I was able to gain some basis as to …show more content…

In addition, this has allowed me to gain an understanding of both biological and chemical processes such as the polymerization that occurs to form amino acids and the relation of these in biological processes involving the formation of enzymes. Though not scientific, studying English has helped me to develop my communication and essay writing skills.
Furthermore, I enjoy using digital platforms such as TED and Talks at Google to further my learning beyond the scope of the classroom setting. The main point of interest is topics relating to technological advances and their application in the healthcare setting; a particular talk by Jim Al-Khalili about how quantum mechanics can be applied to biological principles to help to explain life processes on a molecular level. This talk goes into detail about how various scientific disciplines fit together to the understanding of human

  • Biological Level Of Analysis (BLOA)

    2551 Words  | 6 Pages

    Biological Level of Analysis (BLOA) deals with biological adaptations at a biological level. BLOA states that cognitions, emotions and behaviours have a physiological basis to all of them. There are 3 main principles that revolve and outline the BLOA. Foremost, Behaviour is innate, as it is genetically based, so it rational to conclude that behaviour is genetically influenced by evolution. Secondly, Animal research may inform our understanding of human behaviour, as to why a lot of research is done on animals. Lastly, Cognitions, emotions and behaviours are products of than anatomy and physiology of our nervous and endocrine systems. This essay will discuss how research has provided evidence to support the principle that animal research may inform our understanding of human behaviour.

  • 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...

    It is so thought-provoking, that one mutation in a single gene can cause alterations within phenotypes and genotypes that cause rare genetic disorders. I have also found interest in the neural sciences. I find the topics of neurotransmitters and synaptic transmission enthralling. Specifically, learning about the structure, receptors, and drugs affecting the neurons of GABA and acetylcholine. When I took Anatomy and Physiology, it was interesting to see the correlation between GABA and epilepsy.

  • My Future Plans As A Biomedical Scientist

    My future plans are to become a biomedical scientist. Biomedical scientists serve in all levels of health science research from basic science working with cell cultures to human clinical trials experimenting the most cutting-edge breakthroughs to maximize human quality of life. I am interesting in researching rare diseases. There are many rare diseases that affect small proportions of the population and unfortunately go unnoticed for reason. Unfortunately, usually it is because therapeutic agents for these diseases would have a much smaller market than therapeutics for common diseases. There is an immense need for research attention to ultimately improve clinical outcomes in patients of rare diseases because many are a lifelong chronic prognosis and are genetic and non-modifiable by lifestyle factors and are lacking of often absent of current treatment options. The government helps by socializing the solution by having money set aside by public National Institute of Health (NIH) to research ‘orphan diseases’. An example of one such program from the NIH is Orphan Products Natural History Grants Program.
