Questions and Answers about the Student Experience in Summer Research Internship Program 2024 Topic 5: 🧬 Investigation on Polyacrylamide/Chitosan Nanofibers for Wound Healing🧬 The Summer Research Internship Program 2024 is diving into exploring the potential of electrospun nanofibers for advanced wound healing applications! 👩🔬Research Team: Mr. Nandagobal Sivadas from the CLU, along with undergraduate students from Medicine, Dental Medicine, Pharmacy, and Health Science. 🔍 Objective: Develop polyacrylamide/chitosan nanofibers to enhance wound healing by investigating their properties, providing hands-on production and testing experience, and evaluating their effectiveness for medical use. 🔬 Analytical Techniques: - Electrospinning Techniques - Characterization Methods for Nanofiber Properties 📊 Impact: The project enhances understanding of nanofiber applications in medicine by promoting innovative solutions for wound care. It provides valuable research experience and fosters collaboration across disciplines, advancing both scientific knowledge and practical applications in the field. #WoundHealing #Nanofibers #ResearchInternship #MedicalInnovation #HealthScience #Pharmacy #DentalMedicine #Medicine #Electrospinning #SummerInternship #ScientificResearch

Most skills relevant to scientific research can be improved by practice. Hence, a trainee with average beginner skills but with exceptional consistency of efforts is better off in the long run compared to a trainee with exceptional beginner skills but with average consistency of efforts. Be consistent. Be persistent. And believe in the compounding effect of efforts in scientific research. #scientificresearch #researchskills #professionaldevelopment #phdlife #graduateresearch #phd

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!! Back in undergraduate days, at the mention of molecular diagnosis, I get anxious because I see it as a hard nut to crack. I tried as much as possible to get better grades in it but I did not develop a personal interest. Few months into my internship program, I have the opportunity to train at the virology Research Laboratory at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex, OAUTHC. sponsored by Excellence Community Education Welfare Scheme (ECEWS). Learning from highly trained and skilled professional Medical Laboratory Scientist, I got so much interested in molecular diagnosis and I can say that i finally cracked the nut but still learning to chew it well 😆. Lesson learnt: Never limit yourself when it comes to acquiring knowledge, adopt a growth mindset and always ready to create goals✌️.

🚀 Professional Networking to Unlock Your Career Potential in the Biomedical Products Industry! 🧬 In today's fast-paced biomedical products industry, professional networking isn't just an asset—it's a necessity. Studies show that 85% of job placements are a result of networking, and 70% of jobs are never advertised publicly. These statistics underscore the importance of building strong professional connections to access hidden opportunities and advance your career. But how does professional networking really work? One key concept is the degrees of separation. In a professional context, degrees of separation measure the number of connections it takes to link you to another professional within your network. Research indicates that, on average, there are only six degrees of separation between any two people, but in professional networks, this can be even smaller due to industry-specific connections. 🔍 Why are degrees of separation crucial for your career? Access to Opportunities: Fewer degrees of separation mean faster and more direct access to job opportunities, mentors, and industry insights. Information Flow: A well-connected network facilitates the rapid exchange of information, keeping you ahead with the latest trends and developments. Credibility and Trust: Being introduced by a mutual connection can significantly enhance your credibility and trustworthiness in professional circles. At Azusa Pacific University's Master of Science in Biotechnology program, we understand the critical role networking plays in career success. Our program doesn't just equip students with cutting-edge knowledge and skills in 3D tissue printing and tissue engineering; we also actively connect our students with industry leaders, alumni, and professional organizations. 💼 Here’s how our program hooks you into powerful networks: Industry Partnerships: Engage with leading biomedical companies through internships and collaborative projects. Mentorship Opportunities: Benefit from guidance and insights from experienced professionals and program alumni. Networking Events: Attend seminars, workshops, and conferences that bring together innovators and experts in the field. Join us at APU and take the first step towards a successful career in biotechnology. Our comprehensive curriculum and strong network connections will pave the way for your professional growth and success. 🔗 Learn more about how APU’s Master of Science in Biotechnology program can be your gateway to a thriving career in the biomedical products industry by joining us for Fall 2024!

In most MSCA-Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF) proposals we receive for reviews, the research component is well-elaborated. However, many applicants forget that the objective of a PF is also ‘to support researchers’ careers’. The training they will receive, and the improvement in career perspectives and employability that should be achieved are often not (sufficiently) highlighted in the proposal. Whereas this is crucial in order to have a winning proposal. To help you take your MSCA-PF proposal to the next level, here are some tips and tricks! #MSCA #PhD #PostdoctoralFellowship #Postdoctoral #ResearchGrant
