ABOUT ME:

Hello! My name is Paras Modha, and I will be graduating with a degree in Biochemistry in the summer of 2024. My fascination with the complexities of biological systems and the chemical processes that drive them has been the cornerstone of my academic journey. This passion has led me to pursue a career in the medical field, where I aspire to apply my knowledge to enhance health and well-being.

I chose Biochemistry because it perfectly combines my interests in biology and chemistry, allowing me to explore the molecular mechanisms behind life processes. This foundation will be critical as I move forward in my medical career.

My aspiration is to become a medical doctor dedicated to advancing medical science and improving patient care. My dream is to contribute to significant medical breakthroughs and positively impact people's lives through innovative research and compassionate practice.

SKILLS AND RESEARCH EXPERIENCE:

I possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, honed through rigorous coursework and laboratory experiences. My background in Biochemistry has equipped me with a meticulous approach to research and a deep understanding of scientific principles.

One of my proudest accomplishments is my involvement in a research project that explored the enzymatic pathways involved in the thrombosis (blood clotting) in Zebrafish. This project not only enhanced my lab skills but also deepened my appreciation for the intricate balance of biological systems.

I have experience troubleshooting and optimizing laboratory equipment, ensuring precise and reliable experimental results. I am eager to expand my skills in medical equipment maintenance and repair, which are crucial in a clinical setting.

I have received several academic awards for excellence in science, including the Dean's list Student Award. These accolades reflect my dedication and passion for the field.

HOBBIES:

In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis and hiking. Tennis not only keeps me physically active but also helps me develop strategic thinking and perseverance. Hiking allows me to connect with nature and provides a much-needed mental break from my studies.
