What might be the most interesting and exciting thing in your life? What could be the biggest thing that fuels your curiosity? For me it's all about science. Understanding life and living organisms, including their structure, function, development and origin in the context of atoms, molecules and their interactions is the most interesting and exciting thing in my life. The concept of asking a question and arriving at an answer through a series of experiments has always fascinated me. It fuels my curiosity, and the challenging nature of scientific problems intrigues me and motivates me to discover unique solutions. I became interested in biochemistry when I was a first-year university student at the Faculty of Science at Cairo University, the oldest Faculty of Science in the Middle East. In my first lecture at the Faculty of Science, Dr. Maysa, assistant professor of cell biology and genetics in the Department of Zoology, described the structure and organization of the cell and told us that the cell is like a computer in which DNA is the hardware and the Protein is the software and at the end of the lesson he asked us to look for answers to some questions such as: how do nucleic acids and proteins work and regulate in the animal cell? What are the mechanisms underlying animal cells? What is the role of carbohydrates in cell adhesion? It was these initial curiosities that led me to specialize in Zoology since at that time there was no specialization in biochemistry at the Faculty of Science at Cairo University. As a result of my great interest in biochemistry and cell biology, I earned the highest grade in this course [Zoo 111, General Cell Biology, Physiology, and Biochemistry] in my class. Studying as an undergraduate majoring in (Chemistry/Zoology) contributed greatly to the development m...... half of article ......d molecular biology techniques used to reveal the structure and function of biomolecules. The techniques of spectroscopy, protein biochemistry and molecular biology are of great interest to me as they go hand in hand with structure-function investigation methods. When applying to graduate school, I try to organize my thoughts into three main considerations: the university, the people, and the program. In my opinion, all three particularly stand out at the University of Alberta, a world-class research environment with a strong faculty and interdisciplinary program. I want to continue my education at the Department of Biochemistry, University of Alberta; I am convinced that my participation in your graduate program will provide me with a high-quality, comprehensive education and an excellent research experience,
