My Tutoring Experience

Subsequently, I started volunteering back at my university in a biology lab working with Drosophila and studying Alzheimer’s and aging. My project is feeding a substance called trichostatin A to the wild type Drosophila and Drosophila with Alzheimer’s gene in order to maybe extend the life span of the Drosophila and slow down the aging.

This research project gave me an ineffable encounter with the scientific exploration and fresh admiration for biomedical research. The medical field needs talented doctors and researchers with different perspectives and illuminating insights. I will strive to become what medicine needs and treat my patients in the way I want to be treated.

I tutor certain biology and biochemistry classes to the students that come to the Learning Center asking for help. We need to connect with the professors that teaching the courses to find focus of the course and make sure not to do the homework for them. We are only suppose the help them understand the material. My tutoring experience was rewarding: Questions from my tutees challenged my comprehension of scientific concepts and their application on medicinal platforms.

I participated visiting senior citizens residences. Through my interaction with the seniors, I realized that communication and trust is

in Biochemistry, I have been working as a Research Associate in R&D department in a medical devices company called Alere, San Diego. Alere is a company that researches and manufactures medical devices that can give rapid diagnostic results. The group that hired me researches devices that measure Troponin I (TnI) and Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in blood. My job is to improve the precision of the assay by optimizing different parts of the devices. I now understand that medical doctors and research scientists have similar responsibilities: to solve current and future health issues that we
