Amna's Journey at UTS transcript
For me, a scientist is a person who makes a real life impact in the lives of people. It's definitely exciting and I think knowing that you're making a difference and that you're making a change in people's lives is actually really motivating. My name is Amna Zahur and I'm a UTS alumni. I graduated from UTS in 2016 and I studied a bachelor of medical science degree at UTS and then I did an honors degree in collaboration with UTS and the HRI. Currently I'm working at Centara as a research scientist. I chose UTS because of the focus on the technology aspect. The vibe was very innovative. It was friendly as well and focused but at the same time very interactive. What I wanted to do was to do something that would be translated into the clinical world and make a difference in the lives of people. The facilities at UTS were very state-of-the-art, very top-notch facilities and they really resonated and aligned with what I'm doing at Centara as well. The practical sessions that we had with the demonstrators, they were very informal, very hands-on and laid the foundation for me to be able to build my career here at Centara in the real world. Abna was immediately chop ready because she had the foundation, the science, but also the technical abilities to get into the lab and actually get the work done immediately because we have such a long-standing very close relationship with UTS scientists. We know the quality of the research that they are doing and we know the quality of their teaching. So the graduates that are coming out of UTS actually have also right background for us to being employed. I think what UTS graduates all share is this common denominator of having this drive and passion to make a difference.

Samara's Journey at UTS transcript
I always had a deep curiostiy for the human body. And I always enjoyed biology and chemistry and also mathematics. And I feel like they all tied in together with my curiosity how things actually work down to the cellular level. I'm Samara and I studied a Bachelor of Advanced Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences at UTS. now I'm studying my PhD. So initially when I start at UTS, I actually started in a Bachelor of Nursing, and then after going on placement, I realized that I really found passion in lab work. And so I transferred into a Bachelor of Advanced Science my PhD uses tethered bilayer lipid membranes to diagnose inflammatory diseases better. So we can differentiate between someone who has an inflammatory biomarker and someone who doesn't, aiming to diagnose it in the earliest stages and give a better prognosis. So the connections at UTS that I formed have really facilitated my success, whether through networking or the opportunities that they've put forward for me, UTS is the perfect location. I actually lived on campus for the first two years of my undergrad, that was some of the best times of my life my main motivator is knowing that the work that I'm doing in the lab is going to positively contribute to someone's life someday. and that's something that we can do has come from years of research of people in labs like me. So the opportunity to be able to contribute to that is something that is really driving my passion.

Steve's Journey at UTS transcript
Getting into science, a real motivator for me, is to be at the forefront of technology be involved in innovation and discovery and new science. And ways that you can use technology and science to make the world better. My name is Steve, About Steve and I completed a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with Honors and then, a PhD at UTS. And I now work for Thermo Fisher Scientific as a field service engineer. Science is everywhere I mean, science is everywhere, right? It's all around us. Wherever we look, biology ourselves, medicines, cars, fuels, energy. It's all science. It's all. chemistry, biology, physics. It’s all linked together. In my role, I repair and troubleshoot instruments Mass spectrometers called mass spectrometers, which are essentially an instrument for analyzing molecules from chemical or biological sources. As a child, I was always a tinkerer. I love pulling things apart. To find out how they work. And I still do that now. I found the teachers at UTS really knowledgeable and so passionate about what they do. And that passion really, helped me understand, my own passion and interest in science. I would definitely recommend studying at UTS for anyone interested in working in a lab, due to the hands on experience and the broad range of, chemistry instruments that you get to play with here during your study.
