Exploring and attempting to understand the human body has always fascinated me. The fact that stunning and complex systems are constantly functioning in order to allow individuals to go about their daily lives, is something that few appreciate. My desire is to develop a deeper understanding of these systems on many levels and to work towards creating solutions to numerous diseases via research. This has been the motivation behind my choices at A-level. In A-level Chemistry, a knowledge of the importance of core chemical reactions underpin the understanding of how basic treatments such as aspirin work. Moreover, learning about protein syntheses in Biology has highlighted the complexity of biological processes; from Transcription in cell nucleus to Translation in the ribosomes: this will provide me with a foundation for the Molecular Biology module. The influence of chemicals on behavior is further demonstrated in Psychology, where an understanding of Bio-chemicals such as neurotransmitters like serotonin, shape our understanding of atypical …show more content…
Examining this "immortal illness" on a cellular level, in order to understand its toxic behavior is a specific area of interest. The book has shown me how cell division - a process vital to the human machine - can ultimately cause the destruction of the body's capability of development. New research from the Institute's Medical Informatics Systems Division is another example of where biomedical science work has yet again, contributed to the medical field by the usage of certain markers located on DNA sequences to predict cancer occurrence as well as diseases like Huntington's. This is another reason why I would like to work in a biomedical field; to be a part of obtaining greater knowledge of restoring cell to
