Throughout my first two years, I became interested in cell biology and decided to tailor my courses towards that field while incorporating courses related to immunology and viral and bacteria pathogenesis as I work towards a career in research.\u00a0After my third year, I had the opportunity to enter the Science co-op program where I gained valuable experience working in a laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>I worked at Kinexus, a biotechnology company that focuses on antibody production and proteomic research in search of finding potential drug targets for various cancers. During my time there, I was involved in several projects where I began to pursue a career in research. Now, I&#8217;ve returned to UBC this fall for my final year and opted to do a Directed Studies project based on a protein involved in, basically, maintaining the amount of fat our cells have to keep us healthy! That said, in the immediate future I will be applying to graduate schools and hopefully working towards a MSc in Experimental Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>I will be writing a lot of applications, cover letters, resumes, and contacting potential references and professors, so here is where I believe this course will help me significantly.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the term, I&#8217;ve also expressed an interest in Education through my past experience as a tutor and teaching assistant, and student leadership where I&#8217;ve been involved as part of UBC Orientations and the UBC Science Undergraduate Society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
