Biology Personal Statement

I have thoroughly enjoyed the human aspect of biology and how our body functions which have led me to further my studies in biomedical science. I would like to develop my laboratory skills further and discover how diseases affect our muscles, tissues and cells. The research aspect of the degree interests me of how the body responds under different situations either normal or diseased. Alongside this, I have a particular interest in cells and cell organelles and how such a small cell can contribute to how the body functions, whether it is just the primary immune response or even how a cell produces ATP and factors that are able to interrupt these processes. I would like to further my knowledge into the human body and how infection can cause different complications within our body

The practical assessments in biology and chemistry has furthered my analytical skills by being able to use my results to further solve the problem, whether it is finding the concentration of a chemical by using several equations or being able to distinguish what stage the cell is undergoing in mitosis. The mathematics side of my subjects also shows my understanding how a very small aspect can be solved by doing either one or a few equations even if it's just the pH of a substance.I also study Environmental Studies, this has shown me of how the environment also has a big impact on our health whether it is climate change or pollution. I have previously visited an A Level chemistry open day at Manchester Institute of Biotechnology where we attended talks from research scientists, and had a tour round the laboratories where we observed hi-tech equipment and scientific research in the process. There was also an interactive science stands at the open day regarding many various topics such as spectroscopy/spectrometry and synthetic
