An experience in a biomedical research will help me to succeed in my long-term educational goals. My long-term goal is to attend a MD-PHD program at a Medical School. As a scientist, I would like to study the genetics of disease causing organisms and human genetics. Currently, I am studying Biochemistry at the University of Maryland, which I think will equip me with a knowledge of human biochemistry. However, since undergraduate schools mainly focus on theoretical not the practical application of most subjects, I need to participate in a hands on research project over the summer because It will give me an opportunity to apply my knowledge in a laboratory. This is when the summer research program at the University of Maryland school of medicine

My bravado was initially greeted by a host of rejections before fortune smiled upon me when Harvard’s and Yale’s medical schools called for summer internship interviews. Life took an unexpected turn when I started my six-week internship with Harvard’s Drs. Leonora Balaj and Xandra Breakefield. I began studying exosomes, cell-derived nanoparticles housing manifold diagnostic and therapeutic applications, and potential to revolutionize cancer diagnostics via liquid biopsy techniques. Mesmerized, I became immersed in research, and was delighted with a return offer to work full-time beginning my second junior

My brother studies Biomedical Engineering, so I expected to see a certain subset of equipment, research projects, etc. However, I ended up getting to take part in an eye-opening conversation with a Ph.D. student in ECE who was working with my brother, as he explained the research of imaging techniques on cells, and how all the mirrors, lenses, and lasers on the table in front of me actually related to Biomedical Engineering, their investigations and work they were doing with medical faculty. This was multidisciplinary research in action. My brother and the team he was working with weren’t just proficient in one area. To make real progress, they collaborated together across various engineering disciplines and into other fields such as

My immediate goal after graduation is to prepare myself in the strongest way possible for successful entry and progression in a MD/PhD program. After exploring the Case Western Reserve University website, I firmly believe that the PREP program will equip me with all the tools I need to flourish in the field of medical science. The mentors in the PREP program are all amazing scientists and after reading a few of the goals of their labs, I aspire to develop the same dedication, knowledge, and achievement. I currently want to know more about how genetics is being applied to medical research, and I was especially elated to read of the work taking place in Dr. Mark Jackson’s lab. The creation of a genetically engineered breast cancer model being used to learn more about tumor suppressor genes and their interaction with oncogenes is amazing to me. I want to learn more about the process of creating similar models and using it to answer highly relevant questions. I’m also very curious about the VBIM strategy that is being used and developed to identify new genetic elements important to cancer formation. It is a technique that I would love the opportunity to better understand and utilize through the PREP program.

As a recent graduate from Old Dominion University with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Physics, I possess the academic background necessary to qualify me continue my education. Though a majority of my courses during undergrad focused on power systems and electromagnetics, I also completed multiple courses in bioelectrics in addition to my required engineering and math classes. These courses served as a strong introduction into the interdisciplinary relationship between engineering and the medical field and thus peaked my initial interest in biomedical engineering. My specific interests include nanomedicine, neuroengineering and brain-computer

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

I want to express my interest in a Summer Sales & Trading Analyst position at CIBC Capital Markets. After learning more about the firm, I have found CIBC’s client commitment, high quality research, and excellent training opportunities particularly impressive. I believe that my strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and passion for finance will ensure an excellent fit within CIBC’s fast-paced environment this summer.

The decision to apply for a master’s program at the esteemed, Case Western Reserve University comes from a great passion to pursue research and personally contribute to the field of Biomedical Engineering. With the field’s innovative approach to bridge the gap between engineering and medicine, it has given answers to many of the pressing problems of healthcare system; nevertheless there are many challenges yet to overcome. For someone who has an avid desire to enrich her knowledge on advances in medical technology and do something resourceful for society, Biomedical engineering fits well to my ambition. Being an interdisciplinary field, Biomedical Engineering offers an endless array of choices. However, the areas that I find most intriguing are Tissue Engineering, Biomaterials and Drug Delivery Systems.

I met with Julie Utz, Adam Canteberry, and Boyet Swing this afternoon to discuss hardware needs and budget for the Cerner Bridge Expansion. While, we are missing the budget for Biomed, we are almost there. Based on the outcome of the meeting, we will need to shift training and possible implementation dates. Please review the notes attached, and feel free to email me with any questions.

The biomedical field is undergoing profound mutations as neoteric paradigms are irreversibly making their way through and reshaping the entire healthcare landscape. As a consequence there is an urgent need to align the education and training of the next generation of biomedical scientists with the untrodden technological capabilities and dewy scientific advances. Unleashing the potential of knowledge accumulated in biomedical sciences to meet the big social expectations for improved healthcare and quality of life, is the challenge that the next generation of biomedical scientists ought to take. In this paper we describe an incrementally innovative model we've designed to educate and train the next generation of biomedical scientists. This integrated

Biomedical Engineering is a broad area of study because it utilizes varying disciplines of engineering and applies them to medicine. The field within the Biomedical Engineering discipline that I would like to enter into is scientific research and development (R&D) services (1). This field focuses greatly on identifying problems in a clinical environment and designing solutions. These problems can be in regards to medical devices, diagnostic machinery, biomaterials, and many other aspects of the medical field. Another aspect of this field is the research component. This part is essential because one must conduct research to understand what is already used clinically, what problems there are, and what the best and most efficient solutions are

This generation is now in its early- to late-sixties, requiring more medical care and attention than any generation previously. Add this to an alarming proportionate decline in healthcare workers due to new Obamacare regulations and retiring medical staff, the need for young, fresh biochemists is astounding. In order to meet the needs of this generation, there will need to be more scientifically-thinking individuals to cover the opening gaps as physicians, researchers, and other medical personnel. Biochemical engineers will also be needed to design new, safer contraptions to facilitate and accommodate advanced surgical procedures, therapy, and life-saving equipment like heart monitors and breathing ventilators. Without biochemists and other scientific majors, the health essentials of the older generations and other at-risk patients will not be met, resulting in the decline of the general populace’s

In history, engineers have been an important asset whether creating the aqueducts in Rome or building the Pyramid of Giza. I decided to join the biomedical engineering program because it helps me achieve my closer to creating better medical equipment and prosthetics.Furthermore, the program is fundamentally focused in mathematics,which i enjoy.

My AP Biology and AP Chemistry classes ignited an intense scientific curiosity that drove me to create an internship at Yale University’s Flavell Lab this past summer. The lab 's researchers work with transgenic mice to study immunity, hoping to trigger responses that fight cancerous cells. Their work is every bit as exhilarating as I could have hoped. The experience of seeing actual applications of techniques like western blotting and flow cytometry brought about the revelation that I could use my mathematical and scientific talents to solve problems that exist outside of textbooks. This realization created an insatiable yearning to eliminate real world problems which far outweigh those of my multivariable calculus textbook in both number and importance. My academic achievements and experience at the Flavell Lab will help me be able to cross off items on my problem hit list.
