Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the Microbiologist position at Star Hospitals, as advertised. With a Master’s degree in Microbiology (pursuing) and one year of hands-on experience as a Quality Control Microbiologist at Unichem Laboratories, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to your laboratory and infection control teams.
During my tenure at Unichem Laboratories, I conducted microbial identification, sterility testing, and environmental monitoring in GMP-compliant settings. I also performed Gram staining, biochemical assays, and implemented contamination control strategies—all of which are critical for clinical diagnostics and infection prevention in hospital environments.
In addition, my academic training has provided me with a solid foundation in molecular diagnostics, including PCR, DNA/RNA extraction, and bioinformatics tools such as BLAST and PyMOL. I have also developed a microbial fuel cell model during my undergraduate studies, demonstrating my ability to apply microbiological concepts in practical, problem-solving scenarios.
I am particularly drawn to Star Hospitals’ commitment to research and infection control. I am eager to collaborate with clinicians and infection prevention teams to contribute to antimicrobial stewardship and improve diagnostic outcomes.
Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my background and enthusiasm for microbiology align with the goals of your hospital. I am available for an interview at your convenience and can be reached at [redacted] or via email at [redacted].
Sincerely,
Rama Krishna Mohanty
