I am Andrea. I have a Bachelors degree in Biochemistry. What brought me to Ara to study GDILT is my interest in working in a laboratory environment, particularly in the medical, and food safety and quality areas. 

Interesting that you majored in both Chemistry and Botany, Sandeep. I've done a lot of chemistry too when obtaining my degree, and I also did a course on Plant Physiology, so I have some knowledge on Botany.]]> 2019-03-05 05:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/isis_carter/90snphwy9cnp/wish/337776168 https://padlet.com/isis_carter/90snphwy9cnp/wish/338224628 Hi everyone! I'm Myrell. I have a Bachelor's degree in Food Technology and done my undergraduate internship in  the Quality Assurance Department of a soft drink manufacturing company. Prior to studying in Ara I worked as a Research and Development Technical Assistant in a food contract manufacturing company.  I am  passionate about food and the laboratory is my niche.  :))                                                                                                              Hi Sandeep and Andrea, good to hear that the both of you have interest in the environmental field.

I'm Janine. I have a Bachelor's degree in Medical Technology and I have previously interned in a local government hospital back home. My degree and internship have equipped me with the knowledge and experience in working in a medical laboratory. 
It's so cool to hear all of your experiences in other fields since most of the people I know are also working in the medical field. :) ]]> 2019-03-06 08:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/isis_carter/90snphwy9cnp/wish/338268847 https://padlet.com/isis_carter/90snphwy9cnp/wish/338649998 Kia Ora as they say ! I'm Deval (the shortest in our batch). Talking about my educational background,  I have my graduation (bachelor degree) in Cell and Molecular Biology and apart from that while studying I have been an intern in a cancer hospital laboratory and also having name included as a contributor for a paper. in past i have played a lot with DNA doing molecular cloning, PCR, DNA extraction and insertion and more and would love to peruse my internship in molecular biology or medical laboratory field (as I have learned tests analysis in my bachelor's and even thinking about carrying out different tests relating to humans excite me). continuing my keen interest towards cancer cure, this summer i worked as an intern at AUT- Auckland extracting a chemical called Fucoiden which has recently showed to cure breast cancer(no. 1 on the list of female cancers
