Biomedical Scientist Personal Statement

Academic Integrity Statement: I have read and understood the Academic Integrity guidelines for Kaplan Open Learning and the University Of Essex, and declare that this assignment conforms to all of the rules and regulations contained therein.

My passion for science and great inquisitiveness of how the body works, are just two of the reasons for choosing Biomedical Sciences. I love a challenge and am well

But I believe I have what it takes because I am really interested the application of different approaches to tackle medical issues. Furthermore, I believe that it is completely necessary now and in the future for a physician-doctor equipped with a quantitative and analytical background. As our technological understanding and power increases, many of our biggest advances comes in using this quantitation to solve big data problems or to understand the details of the signaling mechanics and physical laws that dictate biology. The frontline of this development must come from doctors who understand both of the medical discipline so these new approaches can be applied to the human and natural systems. This is an immense task but it will be the next big revolution in science and medicine. I would like to be one of these physician scientists and the HST program is the perfect gateway towards that

From a young age, I have always been interested in the work of science and mathematical practices, including those that conveyed high risk jobs that required extensive practice and practical knowledge to use and retain, as well as the challenging risk factor of facing a life-or-death situation. For me, my intended major area of study would consist in the involvement of biochemistry and molecular cell biology ranging from pathology work to analyzing

My interest in Biomedical Science came in a school-run extended project scheme in which I devised a study of genetic modification of the human body. I found that I was fascinated by whether the survival of an organism was based on one’s genome or one’s environment. For example, I did research on Michael Phelps, an eight time olympic gold medalist, who has said to have genetic advantages over other olympic athletes. For instance, he is double-jointed in the chest which enables him to extend his arms higher above his head and pull down at an angle that increases his efficiency through the water by 20% allowing him to make quicker starts and turns. The research gave me an insight of how complex and sublime the inner structures and workings of the human body are, therefore has fuelled my desire to study the physiology of human bodies beyond A Level.

Concentrating on biomedical engineering allows me exactly that. I am currently researching spider silk at Queens College to reduce the spread of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) like Ebola and influenza. Through this research, I will be able to contribute to future innovations by developing a drug delivery system to prevent contagious diseases. However, I would like to continue researching life-threatening microbes in college. Through biomedical engineering, I can continue my goal by learning about these microbes with a practical lens. Furthermore, biomedical engineering opens various options to reach my goal. As a biomedical engineer, I can go on medical track to provide the patients with first-hand care so they can prevent these diseases or I can become a biomedical professor where I can encourage future engineers like me to further their goal. Through biomedical engineering, I can get closer to making sure that no one else suffers Evelyn’s fate. That is why concentrating in biomedical engineering appeals to

I have attained interpretive skills and the ability to handle a large amount of different information and actively select the relevant pieces in my A-level Biology course. My enjoyment has peaked when learning about the biological molecules topic as I enjoy researching and learning about genetics and understanding how biological processes in the body function. I find it fascinating understanding about how the body behaves and particularly like learning about the anatomy of the human body and its vital components such as enzymes. Additionally

The field of science and I do not have the lifelong love as many of the other STEM students at this school do. Throughout my entire elementary career, I hated science- mainly due to the topics covered were heavily in the geology department. I can’t say science runs in my family, in fact college doesn’t even run in my family. It wasn’t until my freshman year in high school–I finally was given the opportunity to learn about molecular biology–that science popped up on my radar of interest. I was hooked from my first honors biology class, however was still a bit apprehensive about being a biologist as a future career. Learning about the mechanisms at play in the body was interesting, but I always wanted to go in a more kinesthetic direction. I wanted to know how these systems were at work, and even more, how they could be harnessed to improve efficiency or to arrive at some other targeted mean. Being the hands on person I am, I wasn’t satisfied with just the theoretical ideas being explored, I

Since high school, I was really enjoyed biology. It helps me understand how the body system work and how ones live in a population. At undergraduate level, I have more variety of courses to choose from. That helped me know about different field of science and biology. So far, ecology and developmental biology are easy for me to understand but I’m more interested in cell biology and physiology. Cell biology today as told by my professor has undergo to include interdisciplinary such as biotechnology, chemistry and biology. From my cell biology courses, I learned how to use southern blotting to detect a specific DNA sequence, as well as other techniques that I think

After a week’s experience in the Orthopaedic ward, I understand it’s vital to apply principles in chemistry to I thus completed an 6 week online course on cancer which covered topics such as DNA mutations, epigenetics and chemistry?? again, to a level beyond academic syllabuses.

Curiosity is a key aspect of engineers because they work on a variety of projects that requiring knowledge in a multitude of different disciplines. While I do not yet have a substantial understanding of biomedical engineering, the inquisitiveness required to excel in this field is shown in everything I do.

Biology has consistently been my major interest, especially when concerning human anatomy and its physiology. The body mechanisms have

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 the discovery of other planets to the moon landing. With time, I have grown interested and love for technology and how technology has grown to function within modern day society. In high school, I then acquired a passion for the applications of

My passion for biomedical engineering has driven me to give back to kids dealing with medical problems. I also want to give back to the hospital that took care of me as a child since I grew up there with a kidney disorder. As a child, I received a stuff animal pig when I had my first surgery. Afterwards, I would bring my pig everywhere with me and it comforted me through difficult times. I want the kids to feel protected and loved, just like I did. I hope to continue my love for engineering and giving back to the community in college. This passion project is shown me that this is what I want to do with my future.

The understanding of biomedical science was transformed years ago when the bold choice was made to launch a program that would illustrate in
