Cover Letter:
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am excited to apply for the Junior Genome Analyst role at MEDGENOME, Bengaluru. With a strong background in bioinformatics, molecular biology, and genomics, I am confident that my experience aligns well with your organization’s focus on NGS, human genetics, and genome sequencing.
Currently, I am enrolled in Bioinformatics Internship at Biotecnika, Bengaluru. I am conducting research on predicting drug resistance in cancer using multi-omics data integration. This involved analyzing large-scale biological datasets, integrating genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics data, and leveraging bioinformatics tools and machine learning approaches for data visualization and predictive analysis. My work aimed to identify potential biomarkers for personalized cancer treatment strategies.
Previously, as a Research Intern at the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, I investigated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes Col4A1 and IL10 with renal cell carcinoma in the North Indian population. This project honed my expertise in DNA extraction, primer design, PCR amplification, and gel electrophoresis. I gained practical experience in sample collection, genomic DNA isolation, and the analysis of PCR products.
Key skills and competencies I bring to the role include:
– **NGS Data Analysis:** Proficient in analyzing sequenced variants (NGS/Sanger sequencing), interpreting results, and generating test reports. (Knowledge study)
– **Molecular Biology Techniques:** Expertise in DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, qPCR, and gel electrophoresis.
– **Data Interpretation:** Careful and systematic analysis of genomic data, literature curation, and results interpretation.
– **Bioinformatics Tools:** Experienced with data visualization, multi-omics integration, and pathway analysis.
– **Cross-functional Collaboration:** Effective communicator with experience collaborating with bioinformatics and laboratory teams.
I thrive in environments that demand critical thinking, meticulous attention to detail, and effective communication across departments. My passion for contributing to impactful research and developing molecular diagnostic assays aligns with your organization’s objectives. I am eager to contribute my skills to support internal research projects, validate mutations, and assist in the development of innovative diagnostic solutions.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background and experiences can contribute to your team’s success. Thank you for considering my application.
Looking forward to the possibility of an interview.
Warm regards,
Poonam Raikwar
MSc. Biotechnology
