Respected sir/Ma’am
I am writing to express my keen interest in the **Genome Analyst Trainee** position at MedGenome Labs. With a Master’s degree in Medical Biotechnology and hands-on experience in molecular biology, quality assurance, and genetic analysis techniques, I am eager to contribute to your team’s pioneering work in clinical genomics and precision medicine.
During my recent internships at MrBiologist LLP and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, I was actively involved in molecular biology experiments, including DNA extraction, PCR, Sanger sequencing, and microbial assays. I also contributed to R&D initiatives, experimental design, and technical reporting—experiences that have shaped my attention to detail and analytical mindset. My exposure to quality control and compliance within GMP frameworks further prepared me for the rigour and responsibility required in a clinical laboratory setting.
I am particularly drawn to MedGenome’s leadership in applying next-generation sequencing (NGS) to uncover insights in rare diseases, oncology, and neurology. My academic foundation, supported by bioinformatics training in molecular docking, phylogenetics, and homology modelling, positions me well to analyse and interpret complex genomic data. Additionally, my recent publication in the *Journal of Applied and Natural Science* demonstrates my ability to conduct, document, and communicate research effectively.
I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to grow within a collaborative and innovative environment like MedGenome. I am confident that my technical skills, strong academic background, and commitment to scientific integrity make me a strong candidate for this role.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to further discuss how I can contribute to your team.
Yours sincerely,
Amman Shafeen
