A Graduate Program Director And Committee Members

Biology is a rapidly changing field, and Cornell recognizes this by exposing students to the latest information. The biology department’s weekly speaker seminars would introduce me to leaders in the field and give me an idea of the latest biological advances. Furthermore, because Cornell adds new courses yearly, its curriculum keeps pace with the field’s rapid changes. Specifically in computational biology, I look forward to taking courses such as BTRY 4840 - Computational Genetics and Genomics that would bridge my knowledge in programming and in biology. The fact that Cornell allows students to conduct research outside of their home department means I would be able to freely discuss my work with faculty from both the computer science and biology departments. In doing so, I would gain greater insights into how the two fields can be used

I am in the Biotechnology program here at GTCC. I chose this program because I am seeking to become a biotechnology engineer and be involved in the research and development of new medical technology.

Dr. Sia’s father was a chemical engineer and worked at Dow Chemical company for his entire career. He modeled a scientific approach to problems throughout Dr. Sia’s childhood and instilled in her a enthusiasm for science and technology. While she attended Michigan State University, she worked as a technical assistant for Dr. Wendy Champness in the Department of Microbiology and continued that position for a year after graduation. Interacting with Dr. Champness led Dr. Sia to believe that she wanted to become a college professor and researcher. Dr. Champness was instrumental in her decision to attend graduate school. Dr. David Figurski was her graduate school mentor and was a fantastic role model, and helped Dr. Sia to learn to become a very successful independent researcher. It is standard in her field to have several years of postdoctoral experience with a different mentor, so after she obtained her PhD, Dr. Sia went to work in the laboratory of Dr. Tom Petes in the Biology Department in

UW LaCrosse and I have a vision. I, similar to UW LaCrosse, always work to look for the cutoff points of nature by surpassing everyone I can and making everything a slight challenge. As a beginner researcher, it was this drive that brought me to the University of Wisconsin LaCrosse. Up to that point I had been taking lots of advanced placement courses, on my alone time I've found myself to be quite interested in biotechnology, one I presently couldn't seem to look into on any other terms. My time at north high school, taking part looking for a full-length look to explore at that level, I felt more alive, more connected with, than I at any point had previously taken what I have learned so far at north. Learning has been so different for me ever since I learned about biotechnology, I couldn't have been more satisfied. On account of this experience, I know now that LaCrosse is my future, in light of the fact that I look for another college, changeless, a chance to take after my enthusiasm for Biotechnology will never change.

I founded Beta Psi Omega, the nation’s first co-ed professional biology fraternity, to address the specific professional needs of non pre-medical students and provide a support system for emerging scientists. My passion for the organization and belief in the grassroots mission of providing support to future scientists has fueled my continued involvement. Driven by my passion to teach and mentor young minds, I created a STEM curriculum for the Beyond These Walls mentorship program in Title I elementary schools. To gain experience in engaging the general population in ethical and psychosocial questions surrounding genomics, I facilitated the exhibit Genome: Unlocking Life’s Code. My advocacy and counseling skills were developed through working with the homeless and disadvantaged populations with Health Leads. Recently, I have tutored four girls in middle school math and science, which has furthered my abilities to adjust my information sharing style to reach their academic

I have wanted to be a doctor since I was very young, but my experiences in the classroom and the laboratory have introduced me to a field that I never considered before. I would like to participate in the Chemistry and Biochemistry REU at Georgia Tech to develop and learn laboratory skills. Participating in this program will ultimately help me decide whether I would like to pursue a career as a doctor or a researcher. My interest in research has thus far been oncology, which is very broad leading to my interest in areas of research, including infectious diseases, bioremediation, biotechnology, and biochemistry. Taking a class in genetics and learning about the different methods of sequencing and exploring the effects of mutations has also contributed to my interest in research in molecular genetics. For these reasons, working with the guidance of faculty like Wendy Kelly, who conducts research in biosynthetic engineering would be very enlightening. Kelly’s research analyzes enzymes in their role in constructing proteins in antibiotics to manipulate their roles to facilitate anticancer and antimicrobial activities. Conducting a project under Kelly’s aid would allow me to indulge my interest in cancer research and increase my knowledge of cancer treatment by providing me with the opportunity to analyze and test the activity and functions of a natural process. Taking on a project with Wendy Kelly in an area that is in the process of uncovering answers to cancer therapies would not only help me to develop my knowledge of synthesis of medicinal products, but it would also provide me with the chance to experience the research timeline in regards to gathering information and yielding a product. Adegboyega Yomi Oyelere is another faculty member who I would like to participate in a research project with. Oyelere conducts research on biological processes of diseases to ultimately

WPI has always stood out as a perfect university for me. All its features — from its diversity of students and staff to its exceptional academics — make it a perfect match for me. Its urban location facilitates both academic and social networks, promoting a steadfast environment, and the campus creates a very comfortable learning and living environment. Academically, I hope to pursue my interests in bioengineering, where I can collaborate with other students and professors to create and develop artificial tissues, organs, and other organ components that can be used to replace damaged or missing limbs. By attending WPI, I know that I could work hand in hand with some of the best professors, doctors, and hospitals in the country, researching

Wiess School of Nature is the golden key for my path into the biology realm. Its numerous research opportunities, interdisciplinary studies, and state-of-the-art equipment will allow me to create a highly prosperous career. Furthermore, the faculty-undergraduate collaboration in research will spark my competitive personality that will motivate me to reach their level of education or even attempt to surpass it.

If I were to conclude my education after finishing secondary school, there would not be many fruitful paths ahead of me. Without pursuing further education in post-secondary programs, life would be prolific with simplicity; there are those who advocate the concept of simplicity over challenge, but in a life abounding in simplicity, I see a life of tedium. By enrolling in post-secondary programs, I expose myself to novel challenges and opportunities. Furthermore, I have the freedom to explore my passions and satisfy my ambitions. In my case, I have a passion for biological sciences and knowledge, and a fervent ambition to gain as much relevant knowledge as possible. At a post-secondary institution, I am able to choose the degree that is

Biological Science scholar’s events and Biomedical Science Honors classes are an influential chunk of my time, and I am grateful for the experiences they have imparted on me. Honors and Scholars has solidified strengths in me that are relevant to my interest in the medical field. Among these strengths, such as discipline, critical thinking skills, etc. my passion for helping people is my dearest one, and also one that drives me to give back to the H&S community.

I started my life as a foreign student in 2009, and earned my bachelor degree in kinesiology with an emphasis on health science at California State University, San Marcos in 2015. The challenges for nontraditional students was vast; nonetheless, all my experiences have become key aspects of my life, and each of them molded me to become the individual I am today. So far, I am confident that I fit into the biotechnology program at California State University, San Marcos by reason of I gain passion and ability to conduct researches, academic confidence , leadership experience, and experience with diverse

During my studies at Excelsior, I have learned about Biology, like where life comes from and how it has developed over the years. To prove my knowledge of this class, I submitted a paper to my Biology Professor titled “Mastering Biology.” Although there is still a ton to learn it is a starting point to get a grasp

As I sat on my bed on a cold and Uneventful august evening to I watch the video "true learning," I nodded my head in apprehension for 24 minutes of the most enthralling exposure to undergraduate education I had ever had. When a student talked about the Vagelos Scholars program: A Intensive biochemistry program that allow students to approach biochemistry with knowledge of physics and Mathematics that enables them to see things in ways previously Unthought of, I concluded that this will be the Ideal place for me because it would present the opportunity I have always craved to study and research biochemistry to confront and solve the scientific problems that will shape and define our

The program coordinator realized that it was not Carla to miss work, and she inclined that something wasn't right. In an agency, a co-worker is exceptionally similar to a more of an extended family. They spend the more significant part of their waking hours with them, fashioning extraordinary obligations of trust and friendship that are not at all like other relationships. According to Plummer, Makris and Brocksen, 2018) the program coordinator was demonstrating leadership and empathy skills since she was worry about Carla, and the clients and needed to know whether they might want to see another person (if in crisis). The program Coordinator reached the local police to complete a welfare check to guarantee that Carla was alright. However, Carla was discovered dead in her home (Plummer et al., 2018). According to Northouse (2018), Constructive conflict management requires extensive social skills. A manager must have the capacity to adjust their conflict management behaviors to a given circumstance. Northouse (2018) found the strength of social systems lies somewhat in how managers prevent severe conflicts and when conflicts do emerge, how they address them to keep up framework integrity and save the well-being of their members. Organizations adapt to changes in the environment by confronting significant conflicts, tending to them and redesigning the need to manage them (Northouse, 2018). Conflict

In this era when collaboration is vital to succeed as a scientist, I have active collaborations with Emory University School of Medicine and Texas Tech Paul Foster School of Medicine. I actively participate in departmental and college-wide services, as well as professional organizations and scholarly journals. I sought as an advisor and consultant on scientific and technological programs and problems, which extend well beyond my area of specialty. These experiences demonstrate that I have the skill in providing scientific advice, collaboration, and consultation.
