Biomedical Research Personal Statement

Exploring various research opportunities on campus and summer internships have allowed me to shape what I want my future to look like. When the time approached to set my personal and professional goals, I made a conscientious decision to enter a field that would allow me to leave a positive impact on mankind, while adding to the current body of research. There is more that can be done by combining research and medicine, and additional steps I can take to enhance scientific advances. These convictions, coupled with my passion for medicine and science, were significant factors in my interest in becoming a physician-scientist, pursuing an MD-PhD. As a scientist, I see how creation and innovation can aid. As a future medical doctor, I see the need to treat, heal, and

Biomed Academy at my high school will be the most contributing factor to attain my goal. This academy has changed my perspective about medicine career. I have gained tons of knowledge from BioMed academy in these high school years. This will help me to attain my goal, because the knowledge gained from this academy will help me to be a successful medical professional. The principle of Health Science, Health Science, CNA, psychology, Biology, and anatomy and physiology are classes that prepared me to be an eligible Pre-Med applicant. I have learned from the basic structures of the body to the complex structure of the body, and from classroom to hands-on experience at the rehabilitation center. These years in BioMed Academy will help me to attain

Myar Dandash Personal Statement Volunteerism and the passion of science reflect my interests in biomedical science. My interest in Medicine began in high school where I studied biology and chemistry classes that focus on many topics. I intended to continue studying biology in college as an undergraduate student. Everything I learned from these subjects brought my attention to continue studying biology in a detailed way. Applying to the biomedical science program at Rutgers University because it combines both concepts I like to study the most, which are science and the application of science in medicine and other health-related fields.

When I first entered college, I had thought that I wanted to major in Biomedical Sciences. The reason being, I was diagnosed at the age of 7 with Type 1 Diabetes. I was tossing around the thought that I was interested, possibly, in having a career that involved my disease in it. From being a part of this compass program, I have learned about many careers. Even though I learned more of what I do not want to do, it has helped me narrow down to majors that I am more interested in. I was thinking of still having the possibility of entering the medical field, but I am unsure. Learning about the different careers in the medical field and visiting labs has shown me that it isn't something that I am interested as much as when I first enter college. While I do want to be involved with my disease, I’m not sure if I want to have a career with it, but it could still be a possibility.

My mother, who went to school to become a Medical Laboratory Technician, introduced me to the many fields of medicine. At night I would lay in bed and research on my now-obsolete cell phone, “What is a pathologist?” and “How to become an epidemiologist?”. I became fascinated by the notion that medicine was able to help those struggling with illness and that science sought to put the universe into to order

With the start of medical school, studying basic sciences opened a door to the world enriched with years and years of research. With each passing semester, I gained more knowledge about the biochemical, physiological and anatomical aspects of medicine. The more knowledge I acquired, the more eager I became to apply what I had learnt into clinical practice. Those two years formed the foundation

Clinical Research Internship Study Program (CRISP) at the Mayo Clinic Florida strengthened my idea that research is an integral part of clinical medicine. After the CRISP, I decided a MD/Ph.D. suits my future goals better than an MD or Ph.D. because it will better equip me with essential tools, such as the ability to practice and develop medicine, needed to provide the best patient care possible.

I am so blessed to have parents that have invested so much into me and my educational endeavors. Much of the reason why I’ve dedicated myself to diligently working toward academic success is due to their commitment to providing all they can for me. I am currently majoring in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry and a minor in Biology. I’ve chosen to concentrate on these two fields because they are the foundation of the Biomedical sciences. In addition to my studies, I have recently joined the NIH-funded Initiative to Maximize Student Diversity (IMSD) in biomedical research. Through this program, I am able to conduct research alongside a professor in the Pharmaceutical Department at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Medical Campus. With my mentor, Dr. da Rocha, I investigate the use of nano-materials to help chemotherapies more specifically target cancer cells in the body which would maximize their efficacy and lessen their toxic adverse symptoms. Hopefully, with my continued involvement in research, by the time I graduate I will have some of my work published in a biomedical research journal. After obtaining my Bachelor’s degree, the ideal next step would be to go on to a graduate program for either an MD or a PhD. My ultimate goal is to put my skills and knowledge toward making my community a healthier place to live.

What drew me to Biology is the human anatomy, especially how scientific advancements over the years have allowed the human body to overcome biological obstacles such as diseases and viruses, which once could have eradicated the human race. However due to the brilliance of individuals and scientific advancement we are able to survive and become stronger as a race. The decision to study biomedical sciences is a result of my desire for Science especially Chemistry and Biology. The topics within these subjects such as mitosis and the cardiovascular system, looking at how the heart is specially adapted and never fatigues due to the cardiac muscle.

a noble and fascinating field of study. Realizing my passion for medicine, my future plans after

My academic interest is geared towards pursuing a master degree in the field of biomedical informatics with a view to becoming a problem solver and a major contributor to new discoveries in the field. I would like to pursue a career in research, development and teaching of methodologies, processes and tools that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of information flow as well as usage in the healthcare setting. I would like the output of my work and research to have significant influence towards improving patient care outcomes whilst reducing information costs in the entire healthcare system.

It is my hope to eventually become a prosperous biomedical engineer. Even within biomedical engineering there are many distinct fields, and I am most interested in rehabilitation biomedical engineering. I would like to be somewhere where I can help those with disabilities to become proficient in anything they aspire to do; Additionally, I would like to be a part of the design process, although I have an interest in research as well.

I have enrolled and plan on attending the University of Oklahoma. I intend to study at the college of engineering and specifically in the field of biomedical engineering. I have been drawn toward the medical field my entire life and have been interested in being a physical therapist or doctor. As of late, being very included to upper-level math and oddly enough enjoying these classes I’ve been introduced the field of engineering. Naturally, I was drawn toward biomedical engineering as it peaked my interest in both fields that I have a passion for. Going into my senior year I was fairly sure Biomed was the path I wanted to take, but my AP environmental science teacher made me sure of myself. She recruited me to join her school sponsored “Invent

Engineering is in my blood. My brother, father, grandfather, and great grandfather were all engineers. I believe that the engineering gene runs through the blood of the Iyasele family. My family, along with participating in science fairs and summer programs, led me to want to become a biomedical engineer.

One of the crucial moments in my life was the decision I had to take; as to what I was going to do next in life. Having completed my Advanced Level in 2013, I realized that it was not the end of my career as a student. I needed strong academic foundation along with other soft skills to meet the challenges and survive in this commercial world as a successful individual. In view of these thoughts, I was unable to make a firm decision as to what my career direction would be. After a month or so of various discussions with my parents, friends and other learned people I was able to reason out the best choice for me.
