Question

"Immersing myself in biotechnology, I've realized its pivotal role in transforming medicine and patient care, highlighting the need for ongoing research to close healthcare gaps. Working with the R&D team on treatments for severe infections like sepsis, I helped redesign the MicroScan Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing device for faster results. This entailed taking a positive blood culture and translating the infection into a treatable illness quickly. Understanding that prescribing a stronger antibiotic than necessary can be dangerous opened my eyes to the risks of antibiotic resistance, which could leave severe infections without effective treatments. I also learned that providing an inappropriate antibiotic poses significant risks to patients' health. This experience emphasized that delivering true service to others goes beyond providing immediate treatment; it also entails implementing preventative care strategies, such as biotech that tackles issues like antibiotic resistance This experience taught me the importance of proactive problem-solving, while considering limitations like staffing and technology availability in global healthcare settings. By prioritizing cost-effective biotech solutions, I contributed to enhancing accessibility and care quality for patients worldwide. I quickly learned that the field of medicine is ever-changing, and that unexpected challenges and discoveries require a flexible and responsive.
