Biomedical Science Personal Statement

Biomedical sciences have always played a role in my life due to the surgeries I’ve been a victim of and my relatives being active in biomedical fields. At the age of 9, I was diagnosed with Scoliosis in which I had to wear a brace for most of my adolescent years. As time progressed, my curve progressed extremely which resulted to spinal correction surgery. This life experience captured my interest for the medical field. I am an aspiring Biology Pre-Health major at Alabama State University planning

and as a child my most frequent question was "why?" Growing up watching my grandmother succumb to illnesses related to the neurological disorder Ataxia led me once again to ask the question why? As I researched the condition my interest in biomedical sciences piqued. I find the combination of practical experimentation and theoretical consideration particularly interesting, predominantly in molecular biochemistry, as it is far more challenging to investigate that which cannot be seen with the naked

For me, biomedical science is extremely profound in the way that it is always changing. New concepts and ideas are constantly emerging. For example in cancer research there is immunotherapy which is a relatively new form of treatment that awakens the immune system so it can fight cancer. I have been witness to this since I was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2013 and again in 2015; although it was unfortunate, the experience anchored my interest in the disease, drugs and the development of treatments

of varying disciplines, biomedical science is the most diverse course, allowing me the opportunity to broaden my prospects. I strive to become academically excellent, with hopes to exercise clinical treatment or be part of medical research. I have become intrigued and captivated from laboratory practicals, as I saw some of the fundamental chemical reactions we humans undertake. Some of the practicals learnt during my BTEC course were; chemical tests and techniques, biomedical techniques and gel electrophoresis

Biomedical science is passionate and constantly developing area and hence a person in this career can enjoy a vast number of career opportunities like in specialist laboratory work, research and education as well as they can serve the human society. I Being a curious person having some little knowledge about biology have always been interested in human body and always wanted to know how the complex mechanism of human body works to enable an individual function properly from simple cells combining

Responsible for up to 70% of diagnoses, biomedical sciences are an essential part of the modern healthcare industry in order to properly ascertain the appropriate course of action in managing diseases. As an aspiring biomedical scientist, I want to become a part of that 70% and offer purposeful and practical support to the healthcare industry at its foundations. I believe I am right for biomedical sciences because I am interested in understanding biological systems and the underlying concepts of

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

that I came to Spelman College to major in biology. While here I participate in research as a student researcher and get to delve more into applied scientific research. During the summer of my sophomore year, I had the opportunity to partake in biomedical engineering research as a part of the FSU REU summer program. I reviewed several MRI images of concussed rats brains, of varying concussions made by my PI, to see their effects on other areas of the brain not struck by the piston. We found that

I am a pre-med student pursuing a biomedical science degree which I aim to receive in four years. After university, I hope to attend graduate school where I can pursue an MD/Ph.D. degree. I strongly believe that conducting research is a valuable learning experience that would enhance my undergraduate studies by allowing me to expand and apply my knowledge. Furthermore, conducting research now would serve as a beneficial precursor for eventual graduate studies. In the long-term, I envision myself

Personal Statement “At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing ever since”. – Salvador Dali My entry into biomedical engineering is by no means a chance of occurrence. In 3rd grade I remember reading my first book about the fascinating planets that are within our own solar system other than Earth. This was my start as I became interested into all the facets of science as it came with the amazing advancement of humans historically from
