At times, I marvel how far I have come. Ever since I was a young boy, under the influence of my father, a molecular biologist, I dreamed of researching genetically inherited diseases. Today, I live that reality in my current field of work and research as a graduate student in neuroscience.
Thus, long before most children, because of my early exposure to the field of biology, I was intimately aware that one's genetic inheritance could determine an individual's future physical and emotional health. Perhaps it comes as no surprise that I soon decided I was genetically coded to become a medical researcher. I will receive my Ph D. In the summer of 2006 in neuroscience. But my current studies in the field of genetics have also soberly reminded me of how far both my own learning and the field of genetics need to be stretched, before the objectives of genetic research into inherited diseases can be realized.
For my final Ph D. project I studied...
My research has provided me with exciting and fruitful experience. But it also showed me that my current training has, until recently, lacked an important, hands-on human element that the doctors in the field of medical seem to posses but I, a medical researcher in genetics do not. I often feet frustrated due to my lack of clinical knowledge of genetic diseases, much as I have strived, given the limits of my time, to fill in these perceived experiential gaps of my clinical experience.
I want my research in the field of genetics to focus more on the actual treatment and cures for the diseases being studied, rather than just the 'science' of such disease related molecules. Genetic diseases affect human beings, and although the body may be viewed as a 'machine,' it is a machine that the parents of afflicted children pour their lives and souls into, as they…
I have concluded that the hands-on clinical experience only provided by a medical school education is necessary for me to fulfill the essential experiential element that is crucial to my future desired knowledge base and scope of research. Only medical school will provide me with critical experience that will give my research the desired added practical and human value.
At the end of my education, I hope to become a research doctor who combines clinical research in his study of genetic diseases. I seek to provide the science of genetics with a human face for it is, ultimately, the study of the human body, mind, and 'wiring' in the form of the human genetic code. I been the recipient of a 'Sensory Neuroscience Training Grant '(SNTG) fellowship funded by National institute of health (NIH) since the fall of 2004. Thus I am well aware of the critical role genetics plays in public health of the nation as well as of the field of medical science, because of this generous grant, and I will strive to add to this knowledge in all of my future research.
Also, as a T.A. over the past two years, I have gleaned further knowledge of the curiosity of students for 'in the field' research. I have been grateful to have this human element present even in my PhD education. I am also proud to say I have not merely have received excellent reviews from my students, but joined them in many intramural soccer games, one of my favorite pursuits of my college years. I was not given the genetic gift, sadly, of becoming a great sports star, but I do believe that it is encoded in my own personal biology to bring a vital element of clinical humanity to the important work being done in the field of genetic research.
They could see that nursing staffs were spread more thinly in some hospitals than others. They knew that nurses believe they provide valuable, sometimes life-saving services. The authors connected their issue directly to nursing practice and the quality of patient care. They found that when nurses were responsible for more than six patients, mortality rose 7% and nurse burnout rose 25%. Based on their research, they predicted that 20,000 more
Daryl Bem Daryl J. Bem, Ph.D. is a social psychologist who formulated the self -- perception theory as it relates to attitude change in attitude development. He has exhibited many research interests in his career but is also notable for theories regarding the development of attitudes, sexual orientation, and research attempting to demonstrate the legitimacy of such parapsychological phenomena as ESP. This paper discusses his early life, educational background, his major
For the temperature portion of the investigation (conducted first), eight test tubes were placed in four temperature controlled water baths ranging from water and crushed ice (2( C) to near boiling (98(). The other baths were kept at room temperature (23( C) and an intermediary between this and boiling (75( C). Test tubes were left in the baths for ten minutes, until their temperatures at equalized. Starting with the
Perry M. Smith Ph.D. discusses several relevant issues of leadership in his work of non-fiction entitled Rules & Tools for Leaders. The vast majority of the concepts the author elucidates pertain to change efforts. In terms of leadership theory, there is a general motif associated with Perry's ideas that is in accordance with transformational leadership in which leaders attempt to effect change in a positive way. The book spans
Iso-Electric Point and Iron Content in Iron Hydroxide Impregnated Aluminosilicate-Based Geopolymers Rahil Abou Saleh Dr. Kiril Hristovski Iron hydroxide impregnated aluminosilicate-based geopolymers (Fe-ASG) is a novel water treatment media currently under development for simultaneous removal of arsenic and inorganic contaminants. The goal of this study was to determine whether varied iron contents impregnated aluminosilicate impacts the surface charge in different pH conditions. The study tests for media types of virgin and iron
Enzymes are highly selective and substrate-specific catalysts that work by lowering activation energy for reactions thus increasing the rate of metabolic reactions. In enzymatic reactions, substrates are molecules binding onto enzymes' active sites to form enzyme-substrate complexes (Cornish-Bowden, 2004). Lactose is a disaccharide sugar commonly found in milk and lactase is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing lactose into its subsequent monosaccharide products; glucose and galactose. In line with this, lactose
