Paying attention to detail has always been something that formed a large part of my life, no matter what I was doing. I always find the small details to be most fascinating as they build up to make the larger picture, whether that being a simple jigsaw or the big puzzle of the human body. However, there has always been one particular subject that I was intrigued by, the infinitely expanding details of the human body. To fully fuel my interest in the intricacies of how life works, I would need to first explore and dive into the world of how even the smallest details and largest puzzles work, which is precisely what studying Biomedical Science would allow me to achieve.
Biology, being my favourite subject, exposed me to the ever unfolding secrets of the human body. I found myself spending a significant portion of my free time drawing information from articles about medicine and how organs functioned. Further down the line, I broadened my interest to a cellular level, where I discovered the workings of disease and pathogens on the human body. This was when I found one of the most impacting articles on my curiosity for Biomedical Science, an article about the common cold and how it infects our cells, being extremely prone to mutation so our bodies can never develop a resistance to it. Realising how immersive and still unknown our bodies really are caused me to question and wonder how everything works even more, and I would love to discover as many answers and new questions as

There I learned up close the devastating effects of rheumatic heart disease, its effect on our bodies tissues and how patients deal with it. Seeing what specialists in this area have to deal with every day allowed me to realise just how complex our bodies really were, how little we know in comparison, and how much there is still to discover, along with what is expected in a professional
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...

As a recent graduate from the University of Manchester in Biotechnology and Enterprise, I am looking forward to work as a healthcare market analyst at Datamonitor group to utilise my scientific and entrepreneurship knowledges which have been developed through my involvement in Commercialisation of Life Sciences subject during my study. My participation in this course has enabled me to develop not only a good understanding of different research methodology, but also strong analytical skills, excellent communication skills and few abilities such as the ability to synthesize complex data, identify critical success factors within a market and also forecast the direction of the market. These are among the criteria needed as an analyst at Datamonitor group. During my participation in this course, I had been given an individual task to find unmet need that is significant to the human health by looking into the current market for the stem cell. It was a difficult task as I needed to observe and analyse every potential stem cell research opportunity by looking into the market trend very deep and identified the critical success factors of each market.
A deep curiosity about the intricate workings of the human body led me to pursue a career in medicine. In the first year of medical school, my interest was instantly piqued as I delved into the subject of anatomy. The meticulous dissection of a human cadaver was the greatest experience I had as a student. In the second year, the curiosity for human structure and function matured into the awareness and appreciation of illness. My first step towards understanding human disease was learning the theory from Basic Pathology texts.

I embarked upon my scientific career first as an undergraduate student at Shiv Nadar University, India to pursue B.Sc. (Research) in Biotechnology, where I felt I could discover the biologist inside me on my wider and more pertinent interests in cellular and molecular biology. The meticulous working of biological systems is ever fascinating. From the packaging of DNA in eukaryotes to the brilliant design of the human brain, the creation is marvellous.
The human body, nature 's masterpiece, astounded me from the very adolescence and cultivated a strong craving to explore and discover this holy maze. I vividly remember those expressions of astonishment and praise while studying the human organs in biology class at high school. Being the eldest son of a Pediatrician, I have had an exposure of the medical field since my early childhood. My dad has always been an excellent source of inspiration for me, and he trained me for a career in medicine from the very beginning. I knew from the very onset that I was no one but a natural meditator of life, an avid explorer of human anatomy, academically calling a “doctor”.
I am interested in applying for the Master’s degree program in Microbiology starting in Fall 2017. I graduated from Augustana University in Sioux Falls, SD in May 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology and a supporting minor in Chemistry. As an undergraduate, I took a Microbiology class which piqued my interest in microorganisms. The study of microbes is a territory which is relatively uncharted due to the huge diversity, the scale on which they operate, their size and their different adaptations that enable them to live and thrive in the harshest of conditions.
I agree with Albert Einstein when he said: “Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty.” The most influential teachers I recall made learning fascinating and I would like to instill this upon my future students. My passion for biology originated while working for a veterinary hospital at age fourteen. Therefore, I intend to pursue Secondary Biology certification as I posses many attributes required of a teacher and have always had high aspirations of becoming one.
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.
I am applying to Assistant Professor of Microbiology. My knowledge and previous work experiences are both relevant and significant for the job description and person specification provided. I believe that my education and professional background equip me with the necessary skills and experience to positively influence the students. I have been passionate about working in higher education for many years. I first became interested in tutoring through my employment as a research assistant at the University of Tripoli, Libya.
I find it mind-blowing that despite the significant advances in all the fields of brain research, most of the processes responsible for the integrated functioning of billions of brain cells remains a mystery. This goes to show how intricate and detailed the processes of the human body are; and studying biomedical sciences at the university gives me the opportunity to investigate in greater depth the human anatomy. In studying biology and chemistry, I am able to understand the statement “cells obey the laws of chemistry” and have been equipped with critical and.... knowledge.
Motivation The days leading up to my final exams in high school were lonely occasions; my classmates would not study with me, and regularly suggested that my notes or study guides were of poor quality because I did not “look smart” to them. I was one of six Latino students attending an elite college preparatory school, and I often confronted subtle biases held by both my instructors and classmates about my academic abilities. Many instructors assumed that I lacked fluency in English, or that I was ill-equipped to absorb advanced science and math topics. Only a few teachers would half-heartedly encourage me to enroll in advanced classes, though most voiced concerns that I was unprepared and incapable of succeeding.
“Doctors treat patients; Biomedical Engineers discover treatments.” Said a guest speaker in a biomedical engineering course I attended in Malaysia. These words opened my eyes to the possibilities of biomedical engineering. To me, biology is a map of systems that connects to form a cohesion diagram. Applying biology in engineering provides me with room to experiment and create which is something I found in every class in this course.
