My Statement Of Purpose In Biology

My A-Level choices have equipped me with the adequate skills and basic knowledge that I feel are necessary to study a degree in Biomedical Science. In Psychology, I found Biopsychology most fascinating because we learnt about how the Nervous System works alongside the Endocrine System. Equally, I enjoyed Psychopathology as we learnt about the causes and symptoms of diseases such as OCD, and the drug-based biological treatments for them that target hormones such as serotonin. Studying Mathematics has enabled me to achieve a greater understanding of how to apply statistical tests such as the Spearman’s Rank Correlation, in Biology.

Before high school, I was never really interested in science classes. The only reason why I took biology in freshmen year was because it was a prerequisite. It turned out to become the most pivotal course I took throughout my four years of high school.

Science is a field I am particularly passionate about and am pursuing as a career. This is because I believe the profound knowledge and insights science offers can best equip me to serve others through a career in health care. I came to this conclusion after taking my first college level biology course. For the first time, I became aware of the unimaginable dept and complexity of the world and ignited a burning fire within me to understand it all. As I continued to take additional biology and chemistry courses, I discovered the thrill that comes with deciphering the governing laws of life. This understanding has taken on a greater, personal meaning as I have learned how to apply science to daily life and share its benefits. Moreover, working with various masters of this admirable field has encouraged me to apply my own skills and what I have learned in health care.

Upon starting my freshman year in high school, I had been in honors Biology, and it quickly became my least favorite subject. Biology was something I couldn’t understand, no matter how much

Biology. Seven letters, one word. Biology initially was a course the state of Texas required me to take but as time progressed biology soon became my passion. Eventually over time, biology started to reflect in my everyday life and started to inspire me to scope more into the study. Biology became my calling and the key to the future I’ve always desired to obtain. Becoming a biology major in the University of Texas at Austin and obtaining a Human Biology degree with be the first step of many to being closer to becoming a successful physical therapist.

My interest in Biomedical sciences stems not only from a general love of science, but also from my fascination regarding the deep complexities of the human body. The fact that our anatomy has adapted to surroundings and that we have evolved to a point where we are now capable of sequencing the entire human genome astounds me. I am excited at the prospect of studying this diverse discipline that encompasses science and medicine.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” (qtd. in Quotes About Education” n.p.) “ Times have changed, higher education such as college is what most people need in order to have a successful career. Those who acquire higher education after high school tend to have a more successful career than those who do not acquire a higher education.

Growing up in a family of doctors influenced me to pursue the knowledge of health and diseases. I long for devoting myself to public health. With data explosion, I realized that data-driven science is indispensable to meet the increasing demand in medical and biological improvement. Therefore, I want to apply tools of statistics to address human health problems and become an excellent biostatistician. My goal in entering in the M.S. program at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) is to develop expertise in Biostatistics. At JHU, I am able to obtain an interdisciplinary perspective, combining approaches and knowledge derived from statistics, computing and biology. In the future, I plan to pursue Ph.D. study and one day lead my own research group. To meet these objectives, I wish to carry on advanced study at JHU.

As a general trend, my overall excitement for science and the focus of my curiosity have had a negative correlation. As my enthusiasm increases, the subjects of my interest decrease – in size. Bacteria, biomolecules, organelles, basically anything smaller than the naked eye can see, have seized my attention. My appreciation for the small things in life pushes me to translate their magnificence into a more tangible reality. Whether by utilizing the foundational knowledge behind medicine to correctly treat patients, or simply by opening the eyes of another to the wonderful world of science, I aspire to use my passion to better the world around

It is biomedical science that might cure cancer and alleviate Alzheimer’s, abolish Aids and consign Motor Neuron Disease to the history books. This is of all subjects the most academically thrilling and practically useful. At your university I can get to know it.

During my studies at Excelsior, I have learned about Biology, like where life comes from and how it has developed over the years. To prove my knowledge of this class, I submitted a paper to my Biology Professor titled “Mastering Biology.” Although there is still a ton to learn it is a starting point to get a grasp

I am fascinated by the science field. It is constantly changing through new discoveries. I find it very interesting that everything in this field may not be true and can be proven wrong. There is nothing set in stone and through these new discoveries we are able to back up theories and hypotheses or prove them wrong and in turn opening up new areas of study. I also like knowing why things happen and the reasoning behind them. My favorite class right now is General Biology I because I am able to understand the body and why things happen. I am able to make connections about why things happen. We are currently learning about genetics and I am able to see that Down Syndrome also referred to as Trisomy 21. I can connect the two names together because “tri” means 3 resulting in 3 chromosomes of number 21. I loved being able to make connections where the “light bulb” in my head goes off. Another

Biology and Chemistry have helped my further develop my knowledge in the scientific field as well as helping me develop my analytical skills and problem solving skills. Being part of a junior cadet scheme from the ages of 14 to 16 allows me to be more disciplined and motivated to be dedicated to all my academic courses causing me to meet all my deadlines. My subjects linked together and opened my eyes to biomedicine. Biology and Psychology both looked at the anatomy of the human brain as well the chemical reactions and neurotransmitters involved in the human thought process. From my AS Biology course I was able to learn more complex concepts such as blood clotting and how the level of platelets affect blood

My sincere interest in science, particularly in the biological sciences, is not limited to my advanced high school courses. In

From the very beginning of my student life, I loved biology. When I was in my lower secondary school, I still remember that day when my science teacher told me the story of microbes and the day after showed and taught applications of microscope, my interest in microbiology started to take its shape. I became even intensely interested when he told us that bacteria and virus are invisible to your naked eyes, however they can cause you disease and some might kill you. After the completion of my high school as a science major student, my parents wanted me to join medical school and become a doctor. But I had already encrypted curiosity of microbiology inside my mind. So, I began my journey into the world of microbiology. I secretly joined microbiology without telling my parents and told them that I am not shortlisted in MBBS exam.
