STATEMENT OF INTENTThe myriad mysteries of science can be solved by emerging technologies, including biotechnology. Science has always been my interest and strong suit, which is why choosing biotechnology as my academic option was the ideal decision. I had prepared for the highly competitive AIET entrance exam for admission to the Integrated Masters in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics from Dr. DY Patil University and secured 87th rank in all India and was proud to be admitted to this revered university. The academic program introduced me to amazing subjects like “microbiology”, “molecular biology”, “biochemistry”, “genetics” and “industrial biotechnology”. Although many landmark biological events have been explained theoretically over the past century, the technology to harness their potential for the benefit of humanity has only been possible in recent decades. This demonstrates the great progress made in biotechnology and I am happy to be part of this great scientific experiment. Life as a biotechnology student holds untold wonders and I enjoyed learning via the hands-on lab sessions, simply because I could actually implement everything I studied. At the same time, I also learned about the latest innovations in products and services using biotechnology through courses such as “Business Aspects of Biotechnology” and “Frontiers of Biotechnology”. My decision to pursue a Masters in Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs is driven by my ambition to contribute to the industry, combined with my innate desire to discover and explore the subject. I would like to work in the areas of food science, microbiology, drug regulatory affairs, food and drug administration, and cellular immunology. Biotechnology has the po...... middle of paper ...... to have an enriching educational and personal experience at Northeastern University. Over the past few years, I have developed unique skills and education in India. While I am sure I will get an excellent education at Northeastern University, I will bring my own skills, education, and culture to your program. I am ready to face the rigors and demands of a graduate program at Northeastern University. At the same time, I believe I will have a unique cultural experience in the United States and have the chance to meet people from other parts of the world. I am sure that with dedication and hard work, man can achieve the unthinkable and overcome the most difficult obstacles. With this in mind, I plan to continue my education at Northeastern University.
