Biochemistry Personal Statement

A research opportunity like one offered through the Biosystems Dynamics Summer Institute will not only immensely improves on my research skills as a young scientist but would also help improve my ability to work with other fellow scientist as a team focusing on a project. This ability is undeniable one of the most important skill a scientist/researcher needs. In addition, a research opportunity like this will help me make informed decision about my future area of research and allow me to learn practical and technical skills, which could be use in my future area of study as well as other disciplines. Lastly, as an prospective medical school student, a research like this will undoubtedly help me find my passion in the area of research that will most likely interest me. After developing an immense passion for science from middle through high school, it came to me at no surprise my decision to study biochemistry as an undergraduate here at Lehigh University with

Prior to coming to Lehigh university, I spend two years at Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) were I took some general college courses and fulfilled most of my college humanity and social science course work. Two of the most memorable courses I took at LCCC were microbiology and Anatomy and physiology. Not to say the other courses were not quite as interesting but the point is, it was the first time I got to do some quality lab works in college. I remember during our microbiology lab, our project for that semester was to test how effective different growth media were on different bacteria cultures as well as staining the bacteria to determine if they were Gram positive or negative. Oh how interesting that was, each week I looked forward to that lab as well as the
