Immunology

with every scientific truth or fact. To start, in order to understand a foreign organism, a preliminary understanding on a cellular level must be established. Mark C. Glassy, a professional scientist with a background in biochemistry and molecular immunology, author of The Biology of Science Fiction Cinema, has written on the subject of creatures in science fiction and their biology. For example, the 1988 film The Blob, presents some factual biological science about this alien from space, and…

BSc has equipped me with many of skills that will help me excel in this MSc, from setting up experiments to statistical computing using the program “R” for example. In my final year, I was competitively allocated a project with both the Centre of Immunology and the Advanced Light Microscopy facility at the Blizard Institute where I had the opportunity to investigate the effect of a novel protein on HIV capsid stability using microscopy. This work has contributed towards a publication in Methods.…

classes that cover molecular, cellular, and genetic based courses that are specific to medicine, added to this is is foundational science classes much like what you learn in college but at a much higher level, these include anatomy, cellular biology, immunology, and pathology. Also included is basic medical procedures such as how to give a physical exam, a huge portion of medical which goes over diseases and how to defend against them. These classes listed are just half of your first year of…

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways which makes the respiratory tract hyper-responsive. Exact mechanisms of asthma are complicated to pinpoint due to its heterogeneity of eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic asthma. However, abnormal accumulation of mast cells, eosinophils, dendritic cells, and basophils are thought to be the major cause of asthma, resultant in IgE mediated sensitization with Th-2 CD4+ lymphocytes secreting cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-17, and IFN-γ…

Did you know that whenever you smell something, it triggers your senses, and the brain? There are five senses, and one is smell. The brain is a important organ in our body, it tells our body what to do, and what to not do. The person who studied the senses was Linda B. Buck, and the people who studied the brain was the Egyptians. Your senses let you know what is going on around you. The brain is the control center of the body. All information we have about prehistoric cultures comes from…

intend to conduct studies in gut health and food spoilage to understand how opportunistic microorganisms cause gut disease in humans and how their metabolism affect the overall internal environment. Completing a doctoral degree in microbiology and immunology will allow me to achieve these studies. Furthermore, I have an interest for studying food spoilage and creating new methods to avoid spoilage of fruits and vegetables. Such methods will benefit the food industry especially consumers when…

Alzheimer’s disease has a drastic impact on the human population, being one of the most common causes of death. With research less funded than cancer, there are many gaps to be filled. The cure to the disease has not been found yet, however, it is not feasible for me to accomplish such task. I began to look into the causes of Alzheimer’s, and found that research has died down in this area. There has been a lack of focus in several lenses, particularly the economic. With this lens in mind, and…

From Serving in Florida As a cellular immunology student, Barbara Ehrenreich would rather try hard to fit in a blue-collar’s live in Florida. Why did her made this job decision? And how she fell about these kind of lives? In her articles “From Serving in Florida”, as an undercover journalist, Ehrenreich records past personal experience working in a restaurant named Jerry’s, to reveals the difficult lives, the harsh, sub-human living and working conditions for low-paid workers in America. In…

Severe allergies are a challenging problem that can have a broad range of symptoms, reactions, and treatments. Not many people realize the severity of allergies. Allergies are an immune system reaction to allergens, such as food, insect stings, or pollen (Mayo). The normally harmless substances become allergens as the body’s immune system rejects it (Wright). This unwelcoming wave of symptoms is known as an allergic reaction. It is known that every three minutes, someone is sent to the emergency…
