Biomedical Studies Personal Statement

Personal statement:
The construction of the human body is the inclusive structure of a human being, an incomparable compound, ensuring the capability of the human body. I am remarkably interested in precepting and understanding methods for diagnosing, examining and treating disease, in which is the reason to why I would like to study Biomedical Science. Our bodies comprise of a number of biological systems that conduct specific functions necessary for everyday living and the complex processes go on inside the body. The quote “not all hero’s wear capes, some wear lab coats’” explains exactly the importance towards a scientist. What fascinates me in biomedical sciences the most is the types of systems and its specific functions in the human
Currently Studying BTEC applied science level 3, I have studied several modules which I have enjoyed to its fullest. Recently in Biology, I measured the air flowing in and out of my lungs with a peak flow meter and came to a result of the maximum expiration my lungs can get. An interesting topic I have studied was understanding the benefits and risks of treatments for cardiovascular disease which is a condition that affects the blood vessels and the heart. Studying Sociology improved my analytical skills and allowed me to gain information on issues and ability to develop ideas. An example would be the sociology of health and illness amongst NHS, Researching facts on health-services in the UK and worldwide. I believe that as students we should also emphasise with the outside world and the effects it can have towards science in which we conduct in. Alongside this I have recently read an article on cervical cancer screening which stated that the number of UK women taking advantage of the cervical screening tests they are offered every three years on the NHS is in decline as it is stated that new statistics show which results in less prevention if a patient was to have cancer. The infinite creation of the life sciences and world-changing opportunities are both exciting
My grandad was a great inspiration in my education, his death to cancer, along with my mum’s battle with varicose veins after several operational failures has given me an insight into how conditions can affect a person's life. Varicose veins are swollen red or blue veins that appear from beneath the skin. These have given me determination to understanding such the causes of devastating diseases. This is where a biomedical scientist takes place, by carrying out a key role in identifying diseases and the causes alongside researching the effects of medication together with investigating and diagnosing illnesses such as diabetes, hepatitis and meningitis. Studying sciences allowed me to go beyond the boundaries further my knowledge on the various diseases I have studied. Currently reading a book on Biomedical sciences in the fields of Cellular Pathology and Haematology, it has allowed me to expand my scientific knowledge further towards biomedical sciences. As a result, I have researched types of cancers and their resistance to chemotherapy in which I am now completing the Extended Project Qualification, researching in depth towards ‘why pancreatic cancer cells are
