called autophagosomes. The autophagosomes then fuse with a lysosome, which breaks down the cellular macromolecules and converts them into components the cell can re-use. Louis Lapierre, an assistant professor of molecular biology, cell biology and biochemistry at Brown, and his colleagues wanted to see if they could increase autophagy by manipulating a transcription factor that regulates autophagic activity. In order for the transcription…

I want to spend my career providing care for underserved communities. The time I have spent with the Native Americans of the Gila River Indian Community has been the most professionally rewarding of my life. I enjoy their culture, their sense of community and their sincere gratitude. It is a incredible feeling to know I am working with people who really need my help in a place where I can make a real difference. I want to attend ATSU. I appreciate the approach of treating the whole person, not…

What makes me, me? A lot of things make me the unique person I am today. I’m a very educated person. I’ve always been the one who put her schoolwork before anything else. I don’t enjoy myself or feel stress free if I don’t have my homework done. Not only that, but when I started high school I was an A and B student, and to this day I have kept it at that rate. I’ve hit a few bumps, but overall I’ve been doing great. I was on principal’s honor roll freshman year; high honor roll for sophomore and…

I earned three hours for this activity. I recently had a medical procedure that I was dreading. When it was about to begin, the nurses helped me remain calm and talked to me to keep me distracted. After the procedure was over, I was inspired to look into nursing school. I still want to become a doctor and potentially a flight surgeon, however I wanted to look into nursing school because I might take more of a nursing track rather than a biology or biomedical sciences track. I spent the next hour…

assets, which comprises thousands of patents, patent applications, copyrights, and other IP. Huss earned his bachelor of arts degree in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin and a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. Before his tenure at Penn State, Huss worked in grant management, and even worked on beer fermentation from a biochemistry standpoint. Since Huss began working with university technology management, there has been a big shift in the perspective on…

Pulmonary Physiology and Disorders One of the main purposes of respiration is gas exchange. The physiological definition of respiration differs from the biochemistry definition of respiration. Physiology defines respiration as movement of air, more specifically oxygen, from the environment to the cells in the body. Biochemistry defines respiration as the metabolic process by which cells utilize glucose and oxygen to produce Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Inspiration, which is an active part of…

In April 26, 1932, Dr. Michael Smith was a British-born in black pool England and studied to become a great Canadian Biochemist. Here's Some of his child hood he does not remember a lot Though but he does remember one time.

In school for him English working class every one had to take an exam called…

Animal testing has been a huge controversial issue around the world. Many people believe that animal testing is okay because it is a way to test out cosmetology products, medical treatments, and chemicals on animals rather than humans. They infer that it would not make a difference because they are just animals right? Wrong. Those people do not care what happens to animals. These creatures have feelings and thoughts too. Animal testing should be banned everywhere because it is such a harmful…

“Vassar College? What’s that?” If you would have asked me this question a month or two ago, I would honestly have no idea what to tell you. “Sounds like a college… Who are they?” However, here I am at 2 am on New Year's Day, frantically explaining to my friends why I need to finish this application by 11:59 pm, why I’m just starting it, and why it means so much to me. I filled out my Questbridge application in a similar manner; fairly last minute, after much consideration of the “it’s a long…

At the end of high school, financial hardships at home forced me to take a serious look at how my undergraduate career was going to be paid for. I decided to accept a full scholarship to the College of DuPage where I worked hard, received strong grades, and earned a scholarship to Loyola University Chicago. I am incredibly grateful that my family was eventually able to assist me in paying for school, but without first attending community college and receiving a scholarship to Loyola, I would not…
