Essay For Biomedical Science

I am in the Biotechnology program here at GTCC. I chose this program because I am seeking to become a biotechnology engineer and be involved in the research and development of new medical technology.

I plan on attending either Hastings College or the University of Nebraska-Kearney in the fall to further my education after high school. Doing well in school has always been a huge priority in my life. I plan to major in Genetics because I love to be able to work in a lab where I can learn new things daily and help others. Ever since I was little I was in love with science, so I feel like that is why I started to gravitate towards genetics more when I started high school. I felt like I had a connection with the field in that I was meant to do something involving science in my life. The next step in my career plan consists of mainly going to school to get my degree in Biology and then continuing on to Grad school for another few years. After I complete my schooling I will be searching for a job pertaining to genetics. The main goal for my future would have to be, being able to work with children and families who are struggling with genetic

The body’s protection against viruses, bacteria and other types of invasions is our immune system (Tortora, 2014).

gluconeogenesis slow down in which release of glucose to the blood stream is also slowed down

Adaptive immunity (p.446): The body’s ability to recognize and defend itself against distinct invaders and their products.

Our bodies were specifically designed to fight off diseases organically through the use of our immune system. When an antigen enters our bodies, our immune system immediately acknowledges its presence and produces antibodies to fight off the foreign organism. The antibodies will search for the disease organism and will dismantle it when found. The next time the body comes in contact with

As an undergraduate at Michigan State University, I quickly focused in on Biochemistry as my field of study. I have always favored science classes, but biochemistry broke down the elegance of a biological system into complex chemical reactions; it only took one class, and I was hooked. Although I struggled my senior year with a demanding class schedule and two jobs, my determination and time-management ability allowed me to graduate in a total of three years.

The immune system is made up of trillions of specialised cells (white blood cells) that detect and destroy pathogens or their toxins. Some white blood cells, which are

The motivation to achieve my goals led me to attend The Ohio State University to obtain my bachelor degree in Biological Sciences. Throughout my college education, I volunteered and held paid positions at various hospitals throughout Columbus. I was always intrigued to learn what it takes to

The human immune system creates a series of responses in the body to defend the body. If a foreign organism, such as a virus or a cold invades your body, it recognizes these foreign organisms, and, in turn, attacks them to get rid of them. One can think of the immune system as an army of many cells which have set up their own bastion in the human body. They have only one job: To defend. The immune system’s cells are various kinds of white blood cells. The human body typically creates about 1000 million white blood cells on a daily basis. A group of these cells, macrophages, establish a patrol of sorts throughout the body killing germs as soon as they enter the body. However, sometimes an infection can cause the macrophages to succumb to it. The body begins to fight back with stronger T- and B-cells.

The body has two immune systems: the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system.

A testament to this fact is my membership in the Freddy T. Davy Honors College and my induction into the Golden Key National Honors Society, as well as Beta Kappa Chi National Scientific Honor Society. Through these programs I have learned to push through adversity, especially when times get rough and to never give up. These are accomplishments that I am extremely proud of and I intend to bring this same drive, ambition and determination to your graduate program. I believe I have much to gain from, and offer to, the Biotechnology

Have you ever wondered how your body works? Did you ever think about how your body defends itself from outside invaders? Remember the last time you were sick. Did you know how your body fought and killed the sickness? All these questions can be answered by learning about one of the most important systems in your body, the immune system.

My interest in microbiology deepened during my bachelors degree while studing Medical Microbiology at Trichandra college. While in bachelors degree, I learned how to manage time in stressful conditions besides laying a firm base on the basics of Microbiology and lab practices. I tutored high school level students as a part-time tutor

Our immune system is the second most complex system in our body. It is made up of organs, cells and proteins that work together to protect our bodies from harmful bacteria, viruses or other microorganisms that can cause diseases. Usually we don’t notice our immune system defending us against pathogens, but if the pathogen (harmful microorganism) is aggressive or if our body hasn’t ever come into contact with it, we can get sick. The jobs of our immune system are to recognise pathogens, as well as neutralise and remove them from our body. Our immune system also has to fight our own cells if they have changed due to an illness, for example, cancer. (1)
