Statement Of Purpose For Organic Chemistry

In my senior year of high school, I took AP Chemistry to pursue my passion of chemistry. The class lectures

I am currently enrolled at Queensborough Community College (QCC) as a Science and Mathematics major and I intend to earn a B.S. in Clinical Laboratory Science with a further plan on post-undergraduate studies. QCC has given me insight and new perspective towards science and nature which persuaded me to seek and undertake a research opportunity. I always wanted to be educated enough to carry a research project with the hope to provide a tiny addition to the real-world of invention and discovery. I have interest in Biology from the beginning but I had developed an interest in chemistry in General Chemistry I (CH151) leading me to take Organic Chemistry I (CH251) with Prof. Paris Svoronos. Organic Chemistry course helped me to work on discipline

Ricardo Morales on the synthesis and characterization of bimetallic magnetic nanoparticles for further application in cancer treatment, I gained the skill sets needed to come up with research ideas and implement them as well as how to resolve issues that arise within any research. My experience as a teaching assistant in organic and general chemistry at the University of La Verne Chemistry Department taught me the importance of lab safety and the joys of connecting what is learned in lecture to lab and helping students make that connection in a lab setting while creating a safe environment. My experience as an Academic Success Center tutor in chemistry course from general chemistry to advance organic chemistry taught me the joys of helping students to truly understand material and not memorize it but have that knowledge become a part of them that they can use whether in a research setting or to explain those concepts to their peers. These experiences in undergrad allowed me to determine that academia was the right fit for me; graduate school will give the skills needed to fulfill this

During the last two years attending Miami Dade College, faculty and staff members have taught me to grow academically and personally. I am currently one semester away from obtaining my Associate in Arts degree and the time at the college has been a very rewarding experience. As a pre-medical student, my first choice was to major in Biological Sciences. However, after taking the 2000-level sciences courses I decided to pursue an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry as part of the preparation for Medical School. Although a career in healthcare is very challenging, I strongly believe that with hard work and dedication everything can be achieved. I consider myself a very studious person and I'm committed to my professional goals.

ABSTRACT: Based on our long-standing Intensive Training Program for Effective Teaching Assistants in Chemistry, we have developed an Advanced Training Course for Teachers and Researchers in Chemistry at The University of Chicago. The topics in this course are designed to train Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) to become excellent teachers and well-rounded PhD candidates. The goals of the course are to build ethics, critical thinking, and a strong self-image through the use of innovative pedagogical tools. Concurrently, the GTAs are transitioned into independent researchers with the skills to prepare high quality written reports and oral presentations. This course was successful based on the results of multiple assessments. The experience gained and issues identified from the course can be used to guide future training courses.

I moved a boulder once. It made waves on which I surfed. I've seen the bluest waters; F. Scott Fitzgerald labeled them as, ‘blue honey.' Then I rode a horse in the pampas through fields with great friends.

In this study, published in the scientific journal Advanced Materials, Quanyin Hu has created a better way to administer doxorubicin and TRAIL, two anticancer drugs. By using platelets, part of the blood that aids in clotting, to mask the foreign drugs from the body's defense system, these bioengineers caused the drugs to stay in the body for a longer amount of time when compared to the amount of time non-platelet covered anticancer drugs stayed in the body. The results of this experiment showed that platelet covered anticancer drugs stayed in the body longer than the same anticancer drugs surrounded by a nano-gel system. In this experiment, the dependent variable was the amount of time the anticancer drugs stayed in the body of a mouse.

major, along with a minor in Spanish. In order for me to pursue a career in medicine, I will need to excel in school for the next eight years. I decided to go to the University because of the wide variety of students, classes, and research opportunities. Learning hands on and about topics relatable to the current standard of science is something I can only achieve at a secondary education institution. Looking ahead at the class requirements, I am excited to take physiology of humans and other animals, introduction to physics for biology, and organic chemistry. After completing my bachelors, I hope to attend medical school either at Minnesota or on the

During high school, biology and chemistry were my two favorite branches of science. As a result, organic chemistry, which existed at the boundary of these two disciplines, naturally attracted me. I even self-studied a bit of organic chemistry from David Klein’s textbook during the summer, after finishing AP Chemistry.

This report opened my eyes and helped me realize that it is possible to combine my passion for chemistry and medicine together. From then on, I knew that I wanted to make a career where I could apply chemistry to areas such as medicine and biology, especially in the realm of synthesizing molecules. The courses I have taken to prepare me for the research experience for undergraduates (REU) position includes: Chem 121 & 122, General Chemistry I & 2, Chem 241

Something that interests me most about medicinal chemistry is the synthesis of nano-materials. In the current techno

As far back as I can remember, I have always had a great fascination with chemistry. Thus, when I discovered the chemistry club at my school during my sophomore year, I felt a natural obligation to follow my passion and join the club even though it consisted of only upperclassmen. At our meetings, we explore chemistry with a level of depth that is much greater than in class, participating in various complex labs, domes, experiments, and investigations. I found a newfound appreciation for the realm of chemistry that I will carry with me for the rest of my life as I launched rockets, mixed chemicals, and solved puzzles. In addition, my leadership qualities were demonstrated in the chemistry club through group labs.

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.

For all my life, due to rapid increase in the number of cancer patients and my fear of it, I was thinking about a new way to find a drug that can treat it without major side effects. That's why I planned to study pharmacy to be aware of cancer biology and latest approaches for it's treatment. Then I decided to continue my studies and to get my masters in the field of Molecular Biology so I can perform researches and try to find a new treatment for this disease.
