Respected sir/Madam
I am writing to express my interest in the Bioinformatics position at MedGenome as advertised on Biotechnika Placement group  With a strong academic background in Applied Microbiology and hands-on experience in computational biology and bioinformatics, I am confident in my ability to contribute to your team and **MedGenome**’s mission of advancing research and innovation in genomic data analysis
I hold a Master’s Degree from Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology with 9.19 CGPA and currently I am undergoing Data Science for Biologists course from Biotechnika where I am developing a solid foundation in NGS Analysis pipelines as well as data management,genomics, data analysis, and computational methods. I am also skilled in analyzing large biological datasets, including genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data, to identify patterns and provide actionable insights.
At my most recent position at Techno India Group I worked in the post of lecturer, not only that during my dissertation I have done the protein modelling and bioenegetics analysis of novel strain of Shigella sp. I designed and implemented workflows for data processing, quality control, and visualization, using tools like Modeller , R studio , Biopython, Additionally, I have experience in writing custom scripts for automating processes and optimizing data analysis pipelines, which improved both the efficiency and accuracy of our analyses.
I am excited about the opportunity to apply my skills in bioinformatics to MedGenome’s innovative projects. Though my current Profession is not a industry job but rather a academic job, I want to convey the truth behind that. I had started my career in the year of 2022 before passing my Master’s as an junior research fellow at a genomics lab in Hyderabad which is mentioned in my resume, but unfortunately due to some medical issues of my parents I needed to come back to my hometown Siliguri as I am the only child, after that I didn’t stop working,my moto is whatever I will get I will grab and give my 100%. Now I shifted to Kolkata and want to move ahead towards my interest.I am confident that my combination of technical expertise and strong problem-solving skills would allow me to make a positive impact.
Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience and skills can contribute to the continued success of **MedGenome**. I look forward to the possibility of working together and am available at your convenience for an interview.
Sincerely,
Shreyashi Dhar Sarma
