Forensic Biology Personal Statement

I have always been amazed by the power of science, the way that it can work seamlessly together with the Law and use different techniques and methods to solve crimes. I think the first time that my mind was opened to the possibilities of forensic science was when I read ‘Understanding Bioinformatics’ it taught me the way forensics can be used in the search and classification of microbes and how we can readjust that to identify bio-crime attacks. Finding ways to clarify and acquire answers to deaths and mysteries is something that interests me greatly
I have been exploring into the world of genetic fingerprinting and how potential suspects can be identified in an investigation. I am currently studying a BTEC Extended diploma is Science, from the practical side of my course I have attained many analytical skills .I understand that forensic biology isn’t just lab based work, it demands self-determination and investigation of real scenes of crime, and if necessary courtroom presentation. For me to be a part of these events will be extremely satisfying, offering me the rare chance to make a contribution to the justice process, while finding evidence which can turn the tide in a4 case, when other items are not present
I have read Essential Forensic Biology by Alan Gunn, which was precise and thorough but very enjoyable and gave me a very good insight of the complexity of the discipline. My aspiration after completing my degree and graduating is to become part of a forensic field team and hopefully start to fully experience the world of forensics , furthermore I would like to complete a Master’s and practice in a particular field of the science., though currently every form interests me –the discipline, the analysis and the
