The following elaborates on my motivations for seeking a PhD in the biomedical sciences. If you take a look at the palm of your hand‚ you will notice the striations and ridges‚ formed from epithelial tissues composed of thousands of cells. Our bodies contain trillions of cells‚ each with their own functions. When at equilibrium‚ they collaborate in harmony. It is a beautiful symphony of regulation‚ proliferation‚ and complex communicat‚ion. Each and every one of us is a universe of microcosms. Cellular

are the workings of nervous system and the role of heredity in behavior. Bio psychologists investigate how all the electrical impulses‚ hormones and chemical flowing through the body can affect behavior. They are concerned with how the aspects of biology affect emotions of individuals‚ learning abilities and an individual’s perception of events. As the brain can be explained according to its biological functioning; behavior can also be explain in terms of biological and chemical actions and interactions

sequencing methods has greatly accelerated biological and medical research and discovery. Knowledge of DNA sequences has become indispensable for basic biological research‚ and in numerous applied fields such as diagnostic‚ biotechnology‚ forensic biology‚ and biological systematics. The rapid speed of sequencing attained with modern DNA sequencing technology has been instrumental in the sequencing of complete DNA sequences‚ or genomes of numerous types and species of life‚ including the human genome and

In “Genetic Interventions and the Ethics of Enhancement of Human Beings”‚ Julian Savulescu argues that genetic enhancement is morally obligatory in order for humanity to live a longer better life. However‚ this argument is opposed by philosopher Michael Sandel who feels that accepting one’s shortcomings enables us to develop virtues through adversity and giftedness. Another great philosopher W.D. Ross felt that humanity had prima facie (prima facie denotes evidence that – unless rebutted – would
