My Journey to Becoming a Research Assistant in Biomedical Science | Education & Research experience

[@urvishiras2206]

Hey Vy!! Thanks a lot for this video the way you explained was really beautiful and you are definitely an inspiration. Wish you loads of love, health, happiness, and success 💖

[@biomedwithvy]

ahh thank you so much 💛🥺

[@kadeeeartiaga]

so interesting and information-filled episode! thanks for imparting your personal experiences, Vy!

[@biomedwithvy]

ahh thank you!! glad you found it helpful 😊

Great video great explanation! So simple and easy to understand

[@Johnnybro722]

thanks for that. I studied Bio-instrumentation (more like the hands-on research oriented version of biological sciences degree at my university). I didn't finish but I transferred to Pharmacy school, where I learn the more practical and clinical side of the sciences. But I want to use my PharmD for more of a pharmaceutical industry type of role. My school offers a 2-year fellowship on Bio-manufacturing where they hire both PharmD or PhD. It's interesting how sometimes different degrees in the sciences or medicine can merge together. I definitely will consider getting a research oriented master's degree (maybe 5 years later) in either biophysics or pharmaceutical sciences to help me complement my doctorate degree.

that's so cool, thank you for sharing!!! it's so great that you get to experience a range of technical skills on the bench and clinical side! I'd definitely love to explore beyond just biomed to have a more holistic view of therapeutic development post-research stage!

[@Johnnybro722]

@@biomedwithvy yeah I guess it is bench -> epidemiology -> clinical. But it gets complicated if you take into account of ethics, when someone refuses treatments altogether.

[@faerield]

your videos are always so helpful, thank u!

WHATTT IVE SEEN YOUR WORK BEFORE OMG

[@ZuHoLee]

Vy thân mến! Chia sẻ kiến thức là một công việc cao quý và vô cùng đáng trân trọng. Những video mà em đã làm đã, đang và sẽ giúp ích rất nhiều cho những bạn trẻ khác trên Thế giới. Tuy nhiên, tại sao mình lại cứ đi giúp đỡ người trong thiên hạ trong khi những người thân của chúng ta còn đang cần nhiều lắm sự giúp đỡ. Tôi ước gì những kiến thức mà em chia sẻ có thể đến với nhiều hơn những bạn trẻ Việt Nam mà không gặp phải rào cản ngôn ngữ. Cộng đồng chúng ta thực sự cần nhiều hơn những tài năng như em. Anw, chúc em luôn tràn đầy năng lượng và thành công hơn nữa nhé! Love.

I think she is not from Vietnam or a Vietnamese person? She's from Malaysia so I'm assuming she only knows English and Mandarin

[@Marcy.Pham128]

Just because her name is Vy does not automatically makes her a Vietnamese. Its her video, she gets to choose what language she speaks and who her target audiences are. If you would like to help Vietnamese specifically, why don't you ask for her permission to make Vietnamese subtitles for her videos.

[@RosalindR]

Hello Vy! I just love your video and your voice as well😊 So what is your next stop? Are you thinking about a PhD? I am curious to know.

[@biomedwithvy]

Ahh thank you so much 😊😊 I will be working in a biotech company once my current contract ends but also looking to apply for a PhD again since my last round was unsuccessful 😅

[@jrwjeremy8916]

Hi Vy 👋 a student here about to apply to university in a few weeks to months time. Would like to ask why did you opt to study both college and the A levels in the UK when you could’ve easily secured a place in NUS or NTU in our neighboring country Singapore, which is a lot closer to home, and are also very prestigious universities at the world scale? Thank you!

[@biomedwithvy]

That's a great question and honestly one that I don't have a well reasoned answer for. The opportunity for me to study A-Levels in the UK came when I got accepted into a school there, and because I was already in the UK, I was surrounded by mentors who were much more familiar with UK universities and UCAS applications. Hence, I just went along with it as I wasn't very aware of other options at the time. Wish I had a better answer for you, but I was very unfamiliar with many things abroad and simply took opportunities that were presented to me at the time 😅

[@ali_elgarby]

Hey Vy, I’m a Microbiology demonstrator and researcher at Zag University and trying to apply for a scholarship in UK, what’d you advise me?

[@annrose3950]

Can I do research in genetic disorders after mlt ?.....I am currently studying bsc mlt should I take a msc in medical biochemistry or microbiology to do research ???

[@sanjanamaran7817]

Hello Great video Would you mind sharing your resume for reference or may be a video on the resume that got you the job thanks

[@biomedwithvy]

I made a video on how to write a CV for a RA position, where I also show a preview my resume. You can find the video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXjMdmiAbbVjosU

[@koreandream23]

Hi Vy! I am a huge fan of your work and I also dream to be a research scientist in the health sciences. I recently finished my bachelors in medicine and surgery and I would like to do a combined master and PhD in biomedical sciences majoring in cancer research and stem cell studies. Do you think it is a good idea? Please your honest advise is desperately needed. Thank you very much. And good luck in your work.

[@biomedwithvy]

Heyy, I think oncology and regenerative medicine are fantastic areas of research with growing potential in the coming years, both are fields I personally would love to pursue + immunology, so I may be a bit biased hahaa! Best of luck in your studies 😊

[@koreandream23]

Thank you very much.😊😊

[@ye5472]

this was pretty helpful, thanks vy! im sm more confident doing biomed because of you. definitely never gonna forget you 🤍

[@biomedwithvy]

Happy that you're feeling more confident!! All the best 😊
