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.

Biology is a broad field, covering the minute workings of chemical machines inside our cells, to broad theories of ecosystems and global climate change.

My Undergraduate degree of Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary field covering biosciences, biochemistry, mathematics, probability and statistics, biophysics and computer science. Subjects as varied and seemingly disconnected as these being studied together helped me understand that biology is developing into something more than pure life sciences. When I was in school, my 9th and 10th grade biology teacher, Mr. Samuel, recognized my passion for biology and encouraged me to pursue it. I have always enjoyed my math classes too and wondered if there was a way to connect both subjects. I discovered Computational Biology to be the perfect embodiment of this idea. The roots of the field lie in Biology and branching out of it are the applications of mathematics and computer science to understand the subject in a completely different way. Having knowledge in various fields certainly makes the job easier, as we know which field can cater to what part of the solution. I imagine every disease to be

Biology affects many aspects of our life and is the key foundation for medical education and health careers. At USC, the rigorous academics will help me to understand the workings of life, down to molecular and DNA level. Biology has many ground-breaking discoveries that shape the world. I want to devote myself to biological research to make a difference in life. My life goal is that one day, cancers can be conquered, life can be saved, and hope can be renewed.

I have wanted to be a doctor since I was very young, but my experiences in the classroom and the laboratory have introduced me to a field that I never considered before. I would like to participate in the Chemistry and Biochemistry REU at Georgia Tech to develop and learn laboratory skills. Participating in this program will ultimately help me decide whether I would like to pursue a career as a doctor or a researcher. My interest in research has thus far been oncology, which is very broad leading to my interest in areas of research, including infectious diseases, bioremediation, biotechnology, and biochemistry. Taking a class in genetics and learning about the different methods of sequencing and exploring the effects of mutations has also contributed to my interest in research in molecular genetics. For these reasons, working with the guidance of faculty like Wendy Kelly, who conducts research in biosynthetic engineering would be very enlightening. Kelly’s research analyzes enzymes in their role in constructing proteins in antibiotics to manipulate their roles to facilitate anticancer and antimicrobial activities. Conducting a project under Kelly’s aid would allow me to indulge my interest in cancer research and increase my knowledge of cancer treatment by providing me with the opportunity to analyze and test the activity and functions of a natural process. Taking on a project with Wendy Kelly in an area that is in the process of uncovering answers to cancer therapies would not only help me to develop my knowledge of synthesis of medicinal products, but it would also provide me with the chance to experience the research timeline in regards to gathering information and yielding a product. Adegboyega Yomi Oyelere is another faculty member who I would like to participate in a research project with. Oyelere conducts research on biological processes of diseases to ultimately

I have found studying A –level Biology very intriguing; it has enhanced my knowledge of key biological processes that allow humans to thrive as a species and given me some insight into relevant topics of Biomedical science such as genetics

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 one of the few Claremont colleges that are known to focus on STEM, Harvey Mudd is the right college for me. If I were given the choice of where to spend eternity, I’d choose to spend it in a lab. I intend to study biology; it is my passion. I am a curious person who is always pondering with the question why and how. Therefore, to fulfill my curiosity, starting from the summer of sophomore year, I acquired a biology internship at Stanford University

I started my life as a foreign student in 2009, and earned my bachelor degree in kinesiology with an emphasis on health science at California State University, San Marcos in 2015. The challenges for nontraditional students was vast; nonetheless, all my experiences have become key aspects of my life, and each of them molded me to become the individual I am today. So far, I am confident that I fit into the biotechnology program at California State University, San Marcos by reason of I gain passion and ability to conduct researches, academic confidence , leadership experience, and experience with diverse

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

From an early age, I have been fascinated by how things work. It seems, listening to family, that I was never satisfied with a simple answer that machine runs on power; but always wanted to know more. As I completed my undergraduate education in ________, I became more and more interested in pursuing an advanced degree in Biomedical Engineering. My well-rounded educational pursuits thus far have served me well, engineering complimented by a sound background in the humanities and hard sciences. I have, though, a robust passion to learn more, to hone my skills even more in a field that has simply exploded over the past decade biomedical engineering.

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.

Chemistry is ubiquitous and its prevalence is evident in everything right from environment, biology and even in technology. It is this versatility, which aids me in gaining insight in every field of science. Being a graduate in Bio-analytical Chemistry and Organic chemistry, my enthusiasm and inclination grew towards quantitative and qualitative analysis of natural and synthetic compounds in research laboratory. It is with this passion, I look forward to unravel the mystics of analytical chemistry through theoretical and practical knowledge. Therefore, I would like to apply for the Doctoral Program in Analytical Chemistry at University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth.
