“Subject: Application for the Position of Genome Analyst Trainee”
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my keen interest in the position of “Genome Analyst Trainee” at MedGenome Labs Pvt. Ltd. With a Master’s degree in Cancer Biology from Jain University and hands-on experience in molecular biology, bioinformatics, and cancer genomics, I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to your pioneering work in clinical genomics.
During my academic and research journey, I have worked extensively on projects involving the “classification of cancer subtypes using microarray gene expression data and machine learning models”, which enhanced my skills in data interpretation, feature selection, and model optimization. I also have practical experience in molecular techniques including PCR, RT-PCR, Western Blotting, and CRISPR-Cas9, acquired through internships and workshops at premier institutes such as the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Amala Cancer Research Centre.
My exposure to “bioinformatics tools” such as Python, R, TCGA, and CbioPortal equips me with the analytical skills necessary for interpreting NGS data, variant analysis, and contributing to interdisciplinary teams. I am highly motivated, detail-oriented, and proactive in collaborative research environments, which aligns well with MedGenome’s culture and expectations.
I am particularly inspired by MedGenome’s contributions to “personalized medicine” and its focus on diseases like cancer and rare disorders. I am eager to apply my knowledge and enthusiasm to support your mission and grow as a genomic data analyst under your expert guidance.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to further discuss how my background and interests align with the goals of MedGenome Labs.
Warm regards,
Abhirami M S
