My interest in biology began in secondary school. I remember being fascinated once I finally understood what makes us tick; chromosomes. Suddenly it all made sense- at least to the degree I could understand. The sheer joy I experienced whilst learning about the basics of life itself only fuelled my desire to know more.
Death is an ever present inevitability. I hope to explore it and eventually find a way to delay even further. However in order to do that I'll need to find out what causes death and how to prevent it. My desire to procrastinate death is what lead me to diagnosis and disease. Biomedical scientists are at the forefront of tackling disease and their new discoveries will continue to pave the way for future medicine. What we've yet to discover about the fragility of human life is a captivating incentive to press forward in my studies.
Whilst studying A level biology I found my thirst for knowledge of the human body quenched. I couldn't decide which aspect I found most interesting, but learning about human behaviour seemed to spark the same interest that I had experienced in secondary school. Studying chemistry allowed me to see things at an atomic level, I especially loved that I was able to link the two subjects together. Being able to see the real life connections

Unbeknownst to me my desire to keep up to date with medical news made me even more suited for biomedical science. I also think the skills I acquired in A level biology and chemistry, specifically lab skills, increase my suitability for the course. I'm familiar with chemistry lab equipment and also microscopes, including various staining techniques. Whilst studying A level chemistry my statistical and analytical skills greatly improved. Using equations, graphs and drawing conclusions from presented data has further prepared me to study biomedical
Everything that I learned became even more interesting in biochemistry, where complex chemical interactions unfolded in a dynamic biological system. After freshman year, I started my own research project
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
The subject I am most intrigued to study is chemistry. Even before going into AP Chem my Junior year, I was intrigued with the subject. From going mad scientist with baking soda and vinegar to subscribing to chemistry YouTube channels. I guess this course tapped into my subconscious desire to know the unknown. Chemistry has taught me that there is so much more to our complex world, understanding that even the most straightforward of things can be elaborate. In this science I find my motivation to push the boundaries of my education.
I would like to study biomedical science, because not only is it a very exciting ever changing area that is relevant on a daily basis to humans, I am very keen to be challenged and inspired and involved in the latest advances in medical research. With my love of science in mind, I decided to study for the Level 3 BTEC in Applied Science at college. Studying has helped me make a transformation from a youth to a young adult; I have taught myself to be disciplined which I feel can be reflected in the grades I have achieved.
As I helped my mother prepare for her board exams, I developed an interest in the medical field. Biology was always one of my favorite subjects and I doubled in science classes all throughout high school. Although I could comprehend all of my classes with good study habits, human anatomy and physiology was one class I was truly excited to attend. The
My junior year I had the opportunity to take an anatomy class.This, partnered with my psychology class, was one of the most fascinating classes I have taken in my high school careers. Learning about the human body fascinated me as it was something that was so applicable, something that related to how I live my life everyday.
Attending California State University Channel Islands has made me more enthusiastic and more passionate about my studies. I have always had an interest in the sciences because it has always satisfied my curiosity and it has the answers to cool things, like how some bacteria is bad for us and how some bacteria is good for us. Some of the questions that science answers for us can help humanity, like finding cures for diseases, which is why I find science so interesting because there will always be something new to study. I find it fascinating that I can learn the reasoning and how things happen through science. I have especially become more passionate with my studies in the science department because I would like to work in the medical field
My chosen A-level subjects have all largely influenced my decision to study biomedical science, equipping me with the necessary study skills and knowledge to help my transition on to the course. Biology has given me a solid foundation of necessary knowledge, whereas Chemistry has greatly improved my problem-solving skills, teaching me to break down complex questions into a simpler, more logical approach. In Psychology, learning about the ‘scientific method’ means I have the basis of producing valid and reliable reports, necessary for when I conduct my own research
In my biology class we studied the human anatomy. I was taken aback when I learned about DNA and how every individual is made from the same four building blocks. I was mesmerized by the functions of microscopic organelles. Basically
One of the academic subjects that have inspired me was my biomedical class. I have learned so many new things during my last years of high school. I’ve learned how to draw blood, perform CPR, learn how to dissect, and so many more things. I took this class because in the beginning I had a special interest in going into the medical field and my friends recommended me to take the class. At first, I do admit I showed little keen interest in the class, but as my love and my interest for the medical grew, I realized how important this class prepared for my future career.
Over the course of studying my A-levels, I have developed a strong interest in Biology and specifically biomedical aspects of it. After watching the BBC series of documentaries “Blood and Guts: A History of Surgery”, the first instalment “Into the Brain” appealed to me. Walter J Freeman's work on lobotomies, he believed cutting off connections between the Hypothalamus and Frontal Lobe would cure patients of mental disorders. Results showed a third of patients became disorientated, with extreme memory loss and becoming violent because they had no sense of negotiation. This has fostered my interest in animal behaviour and evolution of the brain.
At the age of seventeen, my parents and I decided to visit Washington D.C. Growing up in a little Italian hamlet, a sense of awe invaded me. The city had its own aura of history, music, and politics, which radiate vibrancy and dynamicity.
I have always been interested in math and science, but my interest developed into a passion when I took chemistry. I love chemistry because it is like a secret code that only chemists understand. I love performing labs, mixing chemicals and seeing the reaction. I loved that every principle was built on the one before it, and it helped me understand the world in a way I never had before. After taking chemistry, I wanted to continue it, so I took AP Chemistry.
In my tenth grade chemistry class I remember doing a lab which included turning a copper penny into a silver color. That was when I discovered my passion for being in a lab. Although the assignment and the procedure was simple, It got me excited about putting on gloves and wearing goggles to discover and learn something new through observations. However, once I started taking biology, I learned that my desire to explore the cell was much greater than my wanting to witness the reactions of mixing different chemicals.
Bioscience has helped me to develop the urge to know the unknown which consequently led to the growth of my character. I completed my secondary education scoring a first division (80.03%) and this gave me the opportunity to select the subject of my preference and I choose biology as one of my main subjects and completed my higher secondary in 2010 scoring a first-class mark (77.4%).After my schooling I had decided to study further in bioscience field so I took zoology in BSc where I achieved a first division (69.25%) under Calcutta University. I then pursued MSc and took up Zoology to further my knowledge in the field. I have attended some significant seminars during that period and also worked in some projects like 'disorder in sex development'.
