Hello 2016 Scholars,
I would like all of you to draft your biographical statement.
Please include:
SAMPLE PROFILE
Name: Michael Williams
I am a: Sophomore attending City Tech
I am taking classes preparing to transfer to: Brooklyn College, majoring in Human Biology
One of the reasons this area is of interest to me is because: The ability to study life and how it works is truly a fascinating subject.
Research Interest and Experience: (describe your experience working in a lab and/or your interest in Research) I am (will be) working in Dr. De Maio’s immunology laboratory in which I have been granted the opportunity to study cytokines of the immune system and how they function during the onset of Sepsis in mouse models. Other research interest besides immunology include virology and molecular biology.
Being involved in the Bridges Program at City Tech has been helpful to me in the following way(s): This program was very influential in my decision to pursue an MD/Ph.D. program and basically “got my foot in the door” to not only research, but also to meeting many amazing mentors in the field itself including graduate students, post-docs, and P.I.’s. This was truly a career changing experience for me that I am grateful to have had an opportunity to experience.
