    many soldiers who had lost their legs, arms, or other parts of their bodies. I quickly realized how unfair their situations were and, I began to ask how can I give back to those who have lost their limbs? This led to me pursuing a career in biomedical engineering. I knew that I’m not going to be able to just think up a new invention that will help millions of people and I know that now today. On the other hand I know that with a proper education I will be able to figure out a plan to start helping

    specialists alike have begun to develop methods to alleviate the consequences of organ failure. Some of these methods result from medicine, geneticists, and mechanics, but truly, the most prospective of all the methods is via biomedical engineering. Within biomedical engineering, through a method called Bioprinting, scientists can now create new organs out of the patient’s own cells, and have been doing so since 1999 (11). It works like this. First you start with a blueprint outlining the desired

    Concentrating on biomedical engineering allows me exactly that. I am currently researching spider silk at Queens College to reduce the spread of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) like Ebola and influenza. Through this research, I will be able to contribute to future innovations by developing a drug delivery system to prevent contagious diseases. However, I would like to continue researching life-threatening microbes in college. Through biomedical engineering, I can continue my goal by
