how things work and why they work in the way they do. So I think studying Biomedical science as an undergraduate degree is the right choice for me because it allows me to work in labs and research in the same time. What also attracts about Biomedical science is the diversity of the course as it allows you to specialize in different areas such as microbiology, pharmacology and also genetics. To me being a biomedical scientist is a privileged position, because it allows m...
under the Health Professions Council Act of 2002, the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) acts a regulatory body for a variety of health care professional groups within the UK. This includes professions that work under the title of ‘biomedical scientist’. Its main role is to protect the public through the regulation of its registrants as well as “developing a sustainable organisation that minimises the negative impacts and maximises the positive.” These negative impacts are kept to a minimum

My future plans are to become a biomedical scientist. Biomedical scientists serve in all levels of health science research from basic science working with cell cultures to human clinical trials experimenting the most cutting-edge breakthroughs to maximize human quality of life. I am interesting in researching rare diseases. There are many rare diseases that affect small proportions of the population and unfortunately go unnoticed for reason. Unfortunately, usually it is because therapeutic agents
studying biomedical sciences stems from my sciences interest, as it demonstrates a world not visible to the naked eye, plays a big role in everyday life. science specifically biology and chemistry are stimulating and challenging subjects , over the years of studying them ,my interest has increased because learning things about how our bodies function and how it relates to god’s creation is particularly interesting for me. I also find it very important because I’m Muslim. The biomedical science degree
a representation of all those who are wronged in the selfish name of science. We can use Shelley's book to draw parallels in our modern society, and show that there is a danger in the impersonal relationship that science creates between the scientist and his work. It seems to me that Shelley was saying that when science is done merely on the basis of discovery without thought to the affect that the experimentation can have, we risk endangering everything we hold dear. When describing the
Many great inventions have been made through research in biomedical engineering, for example, genetic engineering, cloning, and insulin. After insulin has been invented, there are still a lot of problems with the purity and the quantity of the insulin produced. Biomedical engineering devised a way to produce large quantities of insulin with a higher level of purity, which has saved a lot of human lives. Although biomedical engineering just been officially founded 200 years ago, its practice has been
Biomedical Engineering Field Advances The career of biomedical engineering was anticipated to increase in the number of occupations by a minimum of “36% from 2004 to 2012” (“Outlook” 70). The growth in the population of biomedical engineers could be correlated to the advancement in technology. As the evolution of technology begins to thrive, biomedical engineers are able to accelerate the process of research and produce results faster than ever. Technology has impacted the study of biological mechanism
Stem Cell Research Stem cells are a large focus of study in today's biomedical world. Stem cell research offers the hope of transplants being done without the sacrifice of another person losing an organ. There are many different pros and cons when it comes to discussing the use of stem cells. In order to develop an opinion of whether or not stem cells should be used, one must first understand what they are and how they are used. ?Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many
Main Body Biomedical engineers have saved or improved the lives of people by the inventive and creative technology they produce to solve problems that have baffled the industry for years. Patients who need an organ transplant or a new treatment for cancer have biomedical engineers to thank for their health improvements or their saved life. Biomedical engineers have a goal to exceed the standard and effectiveness of patient’s care. In the cross between bio medics and engineering, the engineer may
Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering techniques to biology and medicine to improve healthcare and medical products. Since their work mainly consists of research and development, biomedical engineers work in manufacturing, universities, and research facilities. There are not many educational requirements or job experience needed to enter this field. However, biomedical engineers often benefit from having a large number of degrees and work experience. Education to become a biomedical
Tyler Brown Mrs. Hunt English 11 11 March 2014 Biomedical Engineering A career and tech. high school is a type of schooling that when a student graduates gives that pupil a trade degree in that scholars certain area of study along with that learners high school diploma. This is different from a normal high school because a student graduates with a degree that enables a scholar to go straight into that pupil’s field of study. For example if a learner is studying biotech the student will learn how
The Warm and Cold Blooded Nature of Dinosaurs The debate of whether dinosaurs were cold blooded or warm blooded has been ongoing since the beginning of the century. At the turn of the century scientists believed that dinosaurs had long limbs and were fairly slim, supporting the idea of a cold blooded reptile. Recently, however, the bone structure, number or predators to prey, and limb position have suggested a warm blooded species. In addition, the recent discovery of a fossilized dinosaur
From problem solving skills to micro-implants and MRIs, biomedical engineering has emerged as its own study from the vast worlds of both engineering and medicine. Engineers were not only pioneers of the edifice in the past but also establishers of the thriving technologies in the future. Being one of them requires a great leap from my comfort zone and I believe it would be extremely rewarding to be able to grow in this field while contributing to the industry of engineering. My passion towards learning
As a child, I remember learning about the “Renaissance Men” of history; people like Leonardo da Vinci and Benjamin Franklin, who were scientists, artists, engineers, and so much more. I knew very early on that I wanted to be like these historical figures, as a Renaissance Woman. The sheer novelty of technology is what first drew me to biomedical engineering, but it is my love of challenge, need for multidisciplinary work, and desire to help others that have kept me captivated. The further I delve
physics; and later Biomedical Engineering – Engineering for life. I have seen a glimpse of the kind of future I am aiming for in my existing employment as research assistant assisting medical doctor in breast cancer diagnosis, during my internship in hospital and my time working on final year project for vein graft surveillance programme in hospital. With the body of experiences I have built up during my undergraduate studies and afterward, I see a future career for myself in biomedical engineering. However
Ethical Issues Related to Fetal Tissue Research The use of fetal tissue in biomedical research has been a hot topic for debate in social and political forums ever sense the landmark decision in the 1973 case of Roe vs. Wade (Beller & Weir 182). The decision of the Supreme Court to give women the right to abort a fetus without having a medical reason for doing so, sparked controversy which has affected any medical procedure or research dealing with fetuses (Bellar &Weir 182). Supporters of
products has been a topic of heated debate for decades. According to data collected by F. Barbara Orlans for her book, In the Name of Science: Issues in Responsible Animal Experimentation, sixty percent of all animals used in testing are used in biomedical research and product-safety testing (62). People have different feelings for animals; many look upon animals as companions while others view animals as a means for advancing medical techniques or furthering experimental research. However individuals
