**Subject:** Application for the Position of Research Associate
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my strong interest in the Research Associate position at E-Merge Tech. Iam in my last semester of M.Sc. in Industrial Biotechnology from MIT ADT University and bring a solid foundation in molecular biology and bioanalytical techniques, along with hands-on experience in diagnostic assay development.
During my internship at Mylab Discovery Solutions Pvt. Ltd., I worked extensively on lateral flow assay development, stability testing, sample handling, and gold nanoparticle synthesis under GLP-compliant conditions. These experiences enhanced my technical proficiency and exposed me to real-world applications in diagnostics and product development.
Additionally, I have worked on academic research projects focused on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and possess practical skills in PCR, DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, and spectrophotometry. I have also completed certifications in qPCR, NGS, molecular docking, and cell culture technologies, which further strengthen my ability to contribute effectively in an R&D environment.
I am a fast learner, a dedicated team player, and highly motivated to begin my career in an organization that values scientific innovation. I am confident that my academic background and research experience align well with the objectives of your team at E-Merge Tech.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your organization.
Warm regards,
**Akanksha Sharma**
