Sonam Choki

A third-year Biomedical Science student at Rangsit University, Thailand, seeking an internship opportunity to apply academic knowledge in a practical setting. Eager to learn and grow through hands-on experience in microbiology and laboratories. Enthusiastic about contributing to research and laboratory work while gaining valuable insights during the 8-week internship requirement.

• Microbial Identification Project, I conducted a study in which I used laboratory techniques to identify bacterial species, which gave me a deeper understanding of microbiology and the importance of accurate identification in research.
• Conducted a Slide Agglutination and Microtiter Plate Agglutination project to study antigen-antibody reactions for the identification of microbial pathogens.
• Performed a Neutrophil Phagocytic Assay to assess the ability of neutrophils to engulf and eliminate bacterial pathogens, contributing to immune response studies.

I am from Bhutan and feel honored to have received the merit-based Trongsa Poenlop Scholarship from His Majesty, which has enabled me to pursue my studies at Rangsit University. My primary interests lie in microbiology and forensic science, and I look forward to gaining further hands-on experience in sample collection, analysis, and evidence handling through elective courses during my 4th year.
