Cover Letter:
I am more than excited to learn new methodologies, research work, and community engagement from you. This rare opportunity combines my passion for gaining experience in genomics with my experience in molecular biology and wet lab techniques.
I bring a detail-oriented approach to my work, ensuring precision in research, report writing, and wet lab techniques. I know the basic molecular techniques, including PCR and DNA extraction, and am eager to apply and learn further. I have a keen eye for detail and am well-versed in effectively curating literature.
While I have a basic understanding of NGS, I can confidently say I am fully committed to learning the language as quickly as I can, before the project begins. I am a quick learner.
I am confident that my dedication, adaptability, and strong work ethic will make me a valuable member of your team.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills and enthusiasm align with the goals of future projects.
