Cover Letter:
Dear HR,
I am Madeeha of 6th semsester at Garden City University, pursuing my Bachelor’s in Biotechnology, excited to apply for the Genome Analyst position at MedGenome. As a biotechnology student with a strong foundation in genomics and bioinformatics, I am eager to grow in this field while contributing my analytical and technical skills to impactful research.
My experience at Shodhaka Life Sciences and [hidden] Prasad Eye Institute has equipped me with expertise in genomic data analysis, ATAC-Seq processing, mutation screening, and bioinformatics pipelines. I have worked extensively with Python, R, and Excel to extract insights from genomic datasets, ensuring accuracy in data-driven biological research. Additionally, my hands-on experience with Sanger sequencing, PCR, and electrophoresis strengthens my ability to bridge computational analysis with wet-lab techniques.
What draws me to MedGenome is its pioneering work in genomic diagnostics and research. I am eager to learn from leading experts and apply my skills in a dynamic environment that fosters innovation. My curiosity, analytical mindset, and adaptability make me a strong fit for this role.
I would love the opportunity to discuss how my skills align with MedGenome’s mission. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you
Regards,
Madeeha
