Dear sir/madami am Gebremedhin Gebrezgabiher from Ethiopia. I am graduate of veitnerary medicine On July,18,2009 as out standing student with a c GPA of 3.51 as the top two of my batch mates from Mekelle university. I am currently employed by the ministry of education of the country in Samara university of the Afar regional state as a lecturer since September, 2009. I had been done my thesis on traditional medicine entitled as ” invitro anti bacterial trial of five traditionally used plants for wound and food contaminant bacterias”. This had interested me in pursuing my future career in medical biotechnology (microbial biotechnology, Pharmaceutical biotechnology) to contribute my own role to the development of my country as well to the whole science. How ever there are no well equipped universities with well trained man power and well organized laboratories in our country to continue in such field of study. So i am requesting you to include me in your scholarship programmes.yours sinecerelyGebremedhin Gebrezgabihere-mail= tell=251913532700Pobox=3189Mekelle universityMekelle, Ethiopia.
