DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): I currently spend most of my time taking first year medical classes. In my second year I will finish up medical school classes and spend six months doing clinical clerkships. In my third year (Fall 2005) I will become a full time graduate student in the Genomics and Computational Biology graduate group finishing course requirements while working in a thesis lab. I am interested in further developing and applying my mathematical background to problems in medicine; specifically, I am interested in the mathematical modeling of physiological processes to gain a better understanding of pathological mechanisms. Math is a powerful tool when coupled with laboratory research and supplements cell and molecular approaches. Together they can be used to advance our understanding of molecular and cellular processes. Such interdisciplinary efforts can offer innovative insight into existing pathophysiology questions.

描述（由申请人提供）：我目前大部分时间都要参加一年级的医疗课程。在第二年，我将完成医学院的课程，并花六个月的时间进行临床文员。在我的第三年（2005年秋季），我将在论文实验室工作时成为基因组学和计算生物学研究生组完成课程要求的全职研究生。我有兴趣进一步发展和将我的数学背景应用于医学问题；具体而言，我对生理过程的数学建模感兴趣，以更好地了解病理机制。与实验室研究并补充细胞和分子方法时，数学是一种强大的工具。它们可以一起用于提高我们对分子和细胞过程的理解。这种跨学科的努力可以为现有的病理生理问题提供创新的见解。
