  2. Hi, You need to get a good GRE score like 1200 and up and try to present that research in ant scientific symposium or conference. Most important, letter of recommendation, this are very important, ask your research mentor to write you a strong letter saying your potential as a Ph.D. students and so on. I think that you have a good change, but you need a strong GRE. Remember there are hundreds application as same as yours with good GPA, research and a couple of them with publication in journals of strong impact, when you do your application, you should focus in what do you have, that the other pool of applicants don't have? Why they should deny the others and admit you directly to the PhD program. Also you need to take the TOEFL Good luck
  3. Hi, Anyone that is attending UPR-RCM that is looking for a roommate for August??? Cheers!!
  4. Situation: Basically, there is a program at NIH called "Graduated Partnership program" (GPP) where yin your home institution you finish the two year of doctoral courses and do the thesis at the NIH, you have to send a CV and a cover letter to one of the scientist there, and convince him why he should take you to his lab and fund you to do the doctoral thesis, that is the "Individual GPP", there is the regular GPP where you select a doctoral program that is already bridge to NIH GPP. I'm already in doctoral program so I have to do the "Individual GPP. I need some feedback from my cover letter (below), and THANKS very much for taking time to read and make some feed backs!!! I really appreciated XD: Here is what I wrote in the one page cover letter!!!Month, day year Dr. Stephen H. Leppla Acting Chief Bacterial Toxins and Therapeutics Section Laboratory of Bacterial Diseases National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases National Institute of Health Greetings Dr. Stephen H. Leppla: My name is Ramón Gómez-Moreno I recently I was accepted in the University of Puerto Rico (UPR), Medical Sciences Campus, School of Medicine for the doctoral program (Ph.D.) in Biochemistry to start in August 2011. I’m very interested in the NIH Graduate Partnership Program because I strongly believe that the combination of university doctoral education and research at NIH can give the opportunity to network for post-doctoral and future employee opportunities. More importantly, experience research that contributed to biomedical and clinical science and have a huge impact in our society’s problem like infectious diseases, bioterrorism, public health and establishing new faster methods to diagnose and treat pathogens infections. The reason I’m want to pursue a doctoral degree in Biochemistry is because I want to apply this knowledge in the area of molecular pathogenesis and establishing new molecular methods for detection, diagnosis and prevention of clinical important pathogens that can be used in bioterrorism and are common agents of infection in society. With my future aim of being partially in academics (research) and working with the federal government overseen clinical sciences laboratories that specialized in the detection and diagnosis of infectious diseases from patients. The reason I’m strongly interested in your research is because your laboratory deals with the molecular aspect of bacteria pathogenesis with the aim of developing vaccines and therapeutics. I find very interesting and fascinating how bacteria utilized the cell molecular physiology for tissue colonization and future infection creating a Tug o’ war of molecular pathways and physiological responses from pathogen-host interaction. Not forgetting about the biochemistry that is involved in the isolation and characterization of molecular pathways, novel antigens and toxins that can be used to created vaccines and molecular diagnostics methods. While reading your statement from the US House Committee on Government Reform (2002) I found very interesting the amount of pathogens utilized the protease “Furin” for viral replication and activation of bacteria exotoxin. Even more fascinating, how Bacillus anthracis exotoxins impaired macrophage and neutrophils response. In a more “bench work” aspect your laboratory works with tissue culture and many molecular and biochemistry techniques that are interesting to me to learn and be able to adapt them to my own professionals goals. Thank you for your time Sincerely Ramón Gómez-Moreno, B.S.

  7. Does anyone knows if having a Ph.D. in Biochemistry is eligible for a post-doc in medical microbiology and get licensed by the D(ABMM)???

    1. MoJingly
    2. some_one

      some_one

      I talk to a person that has the D(ABMM) with a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, and he told me you can do that route yay!! XD!! lol

  8. Does anyone knows if having a Ph.D. in Biochemistry is eligible for a post-doc in medical microbiology and get licenzed by the D(ABMM)???

  9. Greetings, I was wondering if you have a Ph.D. in biochemistry you can attend a post-doc in clinical microbiology and get licensed by the American Board for Medical Microbiology for the D(ABMM)? The Ph.D. is from the University of Puerto Rico, Medical Sciences Campus, School of Medicine. Thank you for your time,
  10. Greetings, Its good to have a strong biomedical background like: biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, Genetics, Microbiology, Neurobiology, Anatomy, courses like that. Also, do lot of undergraduate research that involces biomedical sciences and clinical stuff and voluntary work. Because in medical school (for Ph.D., M.D. or both) there are hundreds like you applying, you need to demonstrated to the admission committee what makes YOU different from the rest of the admission pool . Cheers!! XD
  11. Greetings, Recently I was accepted to the doctoral program (Ph.D.) in Biochemistry at the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) Medical Sciences Campus, School of Medicine to start in August 2011. I found that if you do three years of post-doctoral training in clinical microbiology (any PhD related to microbiology is acceptable for what I understood) and get licensed by the American Board of Medical Microbiology D(ABMM) and/or SM(ASCP) you can be director of laboratory that diagnose infectious diseases and do research at the same time, this having "one foot in academics (research) and the other in clinical laboratory in hospitals" . I don't want to spend all the time in academia, basically I want to be more in clinical sciences and translational research like molecular diagnostics, etc. So has anyone with a PhD has taken this route before? or eith a PhD in biochemistry can be done, because I can change to the PhD in medical microbiology that is offer at this school of medicine? P.S. also I'm gonna take the MCAT in August 2011 and hopefully get a god score, because is the MD or MD/PhD is better suited for this kind of research???? Thank you for your time,
