Amino acids, the building blocks of life, build into large and complex proteins; it is this aspect of biochemistry that sparked a real interest in this subject. During a recent biochemistry unit I was able to learn more about proteins, their relationship to mRNA and DNA. This created a desire for me to study biochemistry at university. I enjoy reading about new developments in biochemistry and their real-world applications. The addition of protein BsIA to ice cream, for example, causes the droplets
this is what most attracts me to it. Studying biochemistry would allow me to understand in detail the complexity of life and how different systems within it interact. To me, it explains the beauty of life, how it can be broken down into various chemical reactions and by studying the chemical composition and structure of separate biological molecules, I hope to gain a more cohesive understanding of life. Aside from having an interest in biochemistry i have many other interests and hobbies. I play
Daniel Ventarola Residency Personal Statement My path to vascular surgery has been indirect. Although I initially considered a career in dermatology, I ultimately realized that the field did not match well with my high energy level, my ability to make prompt medical decisions and the joy I received from solving acute medical problems.
