My background across biology, chemistry and physics throughout school and university has enabled me to develop a deep scientific understanding of biology across my undergraduate study of Biomedical, Health and Life Sciences. This understanding stood to me, as I ventured to San Francisco and worked on testing therapeutic antibodies and conceptualising novel therapeutic concepts across immunology and oncology. Following this experience, I am now about to begin graduate medicine and hope to utilise my enthusiasm and understanding of biology to help people of all abilities. My lessons will start with an assessment and mutual agreement on areas of interest/need for improvement. From this assessment, we will formulate a goal-driven plan on how we will work on these areas and what tools will be utilised to achieve these goals. In each lesson, we will utilise recall tests and from this, we will work on how to apply our learnt concepts to other areas of biology such as therapeutics. I believe that by incorporating the application of learnt concepts to other areas of biology, we not only identify the connections across many biological mechanisms but develop an adaptability when these mechanisms are being examined in test settings. Lastly, I believe that the practical application of theory fosters an enthusiasm for the topic, which will promote further learning and understanding.
