STATEMENT OF PURPOSE I hail from a family of doctors. From my early childhood, my frequent visits to the hospital (run by my grandfather) have had an impact on me .As a ten year old boy, I once walked into the X-ray room and was thoroughly fascinated by the machines, which were huge, when compared to my tiny self. Since then my fascination and interest in medical equipments and instruments have been growing day by day. I have always believed that every moment in life is a learning experience & I’m proud to say my learning experience till date has been with good educators. Mathematics has always been my forte & science has been my fascination. I have always tried to perform …show more content…
This would help me gain command over the subject and also effectively attain my goal of becoming a research scholar in the bio-medical field During my ug studies, I have gained knowledge about biomedical engineering as much as I can. I enrolled myself in the Instrumentation Society & Automation (ISA) & studying their monthly journal INTECH has helped me a lot in knowing the latest trends in biomedical engineering. During my free time, I went for an inplant training in colour doppler ultrasound at Wipro Ge medical systems, I also used to go the my grandpa’s hospital and look at the people in the lab working on the lab equipments and x-ray machines. For our final year project and thesis, I along with my three like-minded classmates managed to design and implement The Automation and remote monitoring of a water distribution plant over GSM network. The main focus of this project was the automation of the already existing manually operated plant and also the wireless monitoring of the plant from a central control room. The constructive encouragement of our Project Guide and Evaluators helped us in producing a physical working model of our project. I especially enjoyed working on the project and the implementation of the communication system using the GSM network for it remote monitoring. This communication system that we have used in our project can also be used in telemedicine and teleradiolgy for the remote diagnosis of the patients and for the delivery of
The ELISA test can also be used to detect antibodies that are produced in response to a specific antigen. Using information about how you completed this ELISA experiment, outline a procedure for testing for antibodies in the blood.
On a quick note, I am a Radiology technologist (BSc, India) and completed an MSc in Medical Imaging (UK). After MSc, I worked as an applications specialist in Ultrasound for Hitachi Aloka Medical ltd. There were limited opportunities for research collaborations and advanced level contributions. I resigned to pursue a research career.
People’s experiences shape their lives and influence the choices they make, their expectations, and formulate their behavior and mindset. I have always loved to learn! As a child, I was constantly at the library and playing school. I recall being in 5th grade when my teacher handed me the science manual and a box of equipment, and asked me to ‘figure it out’ and recreate it for the class. I couldn’t have been more thrilled!
It has always been my childhood dream to become a doctor. It all started form my interest in the human body and wanting to be everyone’s healer. I owned a small first aid kit with what I believed was necessary to include in a first aid box, a single bandage, a pair of scissors and a few band aids. But with these rudimentary supplies, I was the one who rushed to fix any ailments my family had.
I believe that one should constantly learn and seek new skills and information since it enhances one’s understanding of the world, provide opportunities, and develop skills. Committed to learning, I am willing to spend the necessary time to cultivate my mind in the quest for knowledge and I achieved this through diligence, perseverance, discipline, and by providing the best work possible in the workplace around me. This ambition to push for excellence would be a beneficial trait to have in the future, for I still strive to put quality into everything I do, even when I do not receive any recognition or praise, and this attitude would help me make rapid strides not only in my academic career but my life overall.
Looking at “Wellesley 100”, what impressed me at first glance was number 26, the impressive list of scientific equipment that are available at Wellesley College. Owing to my parents experience in the field of biomedicine and their influence upon me, I have always been intrigued by the methodologies and types of equipment used to conduct the various research that have built the field of biology and biomedicine. My fascination with research originates from the opportunity that I had to visit my father and his colleagues in a research facility in Beijing University where my father’s team were conducting research to test the result of a certain herbal medicine on rats. I was truly fascinated by the facility, the light microscopes, centrifuges,
My interest in the medical field dates back to my childhood, where I was intrigued by the combination of knowledge and passion. I spent many days in the hospital with my mother, often wandering the hallways while the nurses visited her. My mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, along with the discovery of polyps on her colon, which we would later find had a high chance of becoming cancerous. There was a vast number of medical personnel I would encounter over the next several years. I paid close attention to each one—their appearance, the questions they asked, and the equipment they used.
Since I was a child, I’ve always had a strong interest in science. I remember receiving a telescope and microscope kit for my birthday one year, and it was the best gift I’d ever been given. That’s what truly sparked my passion for the field of science and, more specifically, the medical field.
The most progressive discoveries of all time have two elements in common: a component of critical thinking and a component of creativity. It is these two dimensions that led to my selection of biomedical engineering as my major. After being a student at Harford Community College (HCC) for two years, I recognize that I have reached my full potential here and need to transfer in order to continue growing as a student. As an active member in the STEM program, majoring in Chemistry with Calculus-Based Physics at HCC, I developed the necessary logistical skills and analytical mindset needed in order to grasp concepts and utilize them effectively. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have continued to develop myself as a musician by playing at various events as well as improvising my own music.
At an early age, my parents enrolled me in dance and piano lessons. They wanted me to be a “child prodigy” that had numerous talents. Since, both my parents were foreigners, they never had the opportunity to do activities such as this. Therefore, it was important to them that I did the things that never got to do. I never liked the idea but, as my father always told me “No knowledge is wasted”. So, I just went along with it. As I grew, I dropped piano lessons but stuck with dance. However, I had bigger passions than dance, and that was science.
After discovering my passion for science and math, I pursue a career in Clinical Laboratory Science with enthusiasm. My desire to study this subject originates from the exciting and rapidly-moving subject area that is highly relevant to major issues facing society today. Clinical Laboratory Scientists play a crucial role in the healthcare field; in detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease in patients. My goal is to be involved in the latest advances in medical research and to constantly be expanding my knowledge about my field. On top of this goal, Clinical Laboratory Science remains a challenging, rewarding and inspiring topic that will motivate and shape my career for my entire life.
When I was a child, I was constantly in and out of hospitals. I have severe asthma, and when I was younger, I would always acquire pneumonia. The pneumonia meant a lot of hospital visits. During those visits I paid attention to all of the doctors. There was something about them that caught my eye. Some seemed nice, while some were not so nice. However, regardless of how nice the doctor appeared, they all had one thing in common: they helped people, and saved lives. When I was younger it was fascinating to me. At times I believed they were magical, but as I grew older I started to learn what it really meant to be a doctor. It is not all rainbows and sunshine. There are times where you can't save everybody, there are times that you hate your job, and there are also times where your medical school and you think that you hit rock bottom but then you realize that you can actually do it, you can make it.
Sneaking downstairs hours past my bedtime became an everyday thing. I had to see it. It was my destiny and I was determined to become one of them. Setting bones, reviving patients, and running tests in order to diagnose a patient enthralled me. I stayed up to watch Untold Stories of the E.R. and was constantly performing checkups on my family and friends. The medical world was absolutely fascinating to me. I had to be one of them; I had to perform procedures and spend my days in the hospital caring for patients.
For me, the excitement of the field is that biomedical engineering has only recently become its own discipline, and yet allows the professional to truly embrace a multidisciplinary approach to develop devices that have the potential of helping millions of people live a better life. From tissue and genetic engineering to pharmaceutical and neural options, as well as working with medical devices, the field is wide open for new minds, new ideas, and new applications. The field is growing so rapidly that one can hardly keep up. As it seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine, and as technology improves, the field will become the wave of the next generation of research one in which I wish to be a part of. The sustainability and intellectual robustness of biomedical engineering is one of the ways that I can pursue my own
Biomedical engineering is a field where you will be finding solutions for the problems inside your body using engineering principles. Then, once you pursue a degree in biomedical engineering then you can specialize in various interesting subfields; to name a few, bio-engineering, tissue engineering and cellular engineering where an individual who has successfully acquired sufficient knowledge in the field would deal with both human body and medical devices that ranges from clinical equipment to micro implant. I believe this field is one that would both accommodate the interests of an engineering student, as well as a medical student. Finally, my intention in choosing this field goes beyond my salary package. I would strive to contribute with improved advanced medical technology that would help work out solutions for the problems encountered by people, that in turn will eradicate the ailments of the millions of people suffering out there, together with the fact that bio engineeing is an ongoing one where every moment new advancements are taking
