7 :: Explain what is Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer’s is a brain disease caused due to tau protein misfolding. It is an incurable disease and can be diagnosed in a PET or MRI scan. Alzheimer’s is related more with aging, where the disease is detected in human more than 65 years of age. The symptoms are memory losses, stress, confusion and also aggression. Diagnosis is mostly done by behavior related tests.

9 :: Do you know what is the principle behind DNA fingerprinting?

DNA fingerprinting is the technique of genetic fingerprinting. In this technique, DNA sequence can be used for identification of an individual. The main application of DNA fingerprinting is forensics. The main principle behind behind DNA fingerprinting is Polymerase Chain Reaction. This technique is also popularly known as DNA profiling.

10 :: Tell me the technique of gene conversion?

Gene conversion refers to the event in DNA genetic recombination. This event occurs at high frequencies during meiotic division but which also occurs in somatic cells. Through this process we can transfer DNA information from one DNA helix to another DNA helix, whose sequence is altered. Gene mutation can also be accomplished through this process. IT may lead to non-Mendelian inheritance. This phenomenon has often been recorded in fungal crosses.

11 :: Is there one type of equipment that you feel you are the most efficient at repairing?

While getting my associate’s, I particularly enjoyed learning about MRA machines, and I had the opportunity to repair many of them at my previous position. I have more expertise with MRA machines than any other piece of equipment.

12 :: Tell me what is isotopic tracer technique?

This technique is used to understand chemical reaction and interactions in bio-chemistry and chemistry. In this technique, one or more of the atoms of the molecule of interest is substituted for an atom of the same chemical element, but that element belongs to different isotope. It can be used to detect the difference in number of neutrons separately from the other atoms of the same element. The atom has the same number of protons; it will behave in almost exactly the same way chemically as other atoms in the compound, and with few exceptions will not interfere with the reaction under investigation.

15 :: Tell me do you know what is flow control in Biomedical Engineering?

Flow control, also called optimized production technology, focuses on the efficient flow of material through the production process. The philosophy of flow control focuses on bottlenecks. For example, an owner using flow control will not buy a machine capable of 1,000 units an hour if supply is only 500 units. Examine systems and determine where lowest flow is experienced, then address that point and make sure it operates at full capacity. Flow control applies well where maximum productivity is required.

21 :: We frequently bring in new equipment to replace older models. Did you ever encounter an instance where you had to learn about a new piece of machinery that you had never encountered before?

Yes, this was a common part of my previous job. I always thoroughly study the technical manuals of all the hospital’s equipment so I can learn something new about its makeup and be better prepared during an emergency. I strive to be as efficient as possible when working, and that involves staying on top of any new equipment additions. Sometimes, I offered suggestions to my superior about the equipment I felt was most in need of updates or replacement.
