  • Essay / It's all about science - 864

    What can be the most interesting and exciting thing in your life? What can be the biggest thing that piques your curiosity? For me, it's all about science. Understanding life and living organisms, including their structure, function, development and origin in the context of atoms, molecules and their interactions, is the most interesting and exciting thing in my life. The idea of ​​asking a question and arriving at an answer through a series of experiments has always fascinated me. This piques my curiosity and the complex nature of scientific problems intrigues me and motivates me to discover unique solutions. I became interested in biochemistry when I was a first-year undergraduate student at the Faculty of Science at Cairo University, the oldest science faculty in the Middle East. In my first lecture at the Faculty of Science, Dr. Maysa, Assistant Professor of Cell Biology and Genetics in the Department of Zoology, described cellular structure and organization and she told us that the cell is like a computer whose DNA is the hardware and Protein is the software and at the end of the lecture, she asked us to look for answers to certain questions such as: How do nucleic acids and proteins function and regulate themselves in the animal cell? What is the underlying function of animal cells? What is the role of carbohydrates in cell adhesion? It was these initial curiosities that led me to study zoology, as there was no major in biochemistry at the time in the Faculty of Science at Cairo University. Because of my great interest in biochemistry and cell biology, I received the highest grade in this course [Zoo 111, General Cell Biology, Physiology and Biochemistry] in my class. Studying as an undergraduate honors student (Chemistry/Zoology) contributed greatly to m...... middle of article ......d molecular biology techniques used to reveal structure and function biomolecules. The techniques of spectroscopy, protein biochemistry and molecular biology interest me a lot because they go hand in hand with structure-function investigation methods. When applying to graduate school, I try to organize my thoughts around three major considerations: the university, the people, and the program. In my opinion, all three particularly stand out at the University of Alberta, a world-class research environment with strong faculty and an interdisciplinary program. I am interested in continuing my studies in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Alberta; I am confident that my participation in your graduate program will provide me with high-quality, comprehensive training and excellent research experience.,
