Cover Letter:
Dear Sir/ Ma’am,
I am writing to express my interest in the _Clinical Research Associate_ position that is currently available in Skylimit Research Pvt. Ltd. I have completed PhD in Biochemistry, and have worked as a Biocurator for around 1.5 years in the precision medicine domain on onco-genomics, cancer therapeutics and in vitro diagnostics. I have experience in analysis and interpretation of NGS data, clinical trial data and scientific literature review on cancer from various sources such as NCCN, ASCO and ESMO. I have also worked in curation and documentation of FDA and EMA approved drug labels recommended for cancer in association with specific biomarkers and mutation events.
In addition, I have completed a certification course on clinical research and clinical trials and have a sound understanding of GCP and ICH guidelines.
I am looking forward to explore new opportunities and would like to expand my career further where I can work closely and translate my research experience to work. This opportunity aligns perfectly with my career vision and excites me to bring my skills and subject knowledge to your team where I can work on complex projects and deliver to the best of my ability.
I would like to discuss my qualifications further and learn more about this role. Please feel free to contact me anytime for an interview.
