Dear,
 
I am writing to express my strong interest in potential employment opportunities at Medgenome as a Genome analyst. With my strong background in analytical microbiology and molecular biology, coupled with five years of experience in research and laboratory settings, I am confident that I possess the necessary skills and qualifications to excel in this role.
Currently, I am working as a Research Assistant on an ICMR-funded project at ICMR–NICED, Kolkata. My experience encompasses a diverse range of research activities, including the establishment and standardization of microbiology and molecular biology laboratories, the development of SOPs for various tests, and hands-on experience with serological testing (ELISA), PCR, sequencing, and cell culture. I have a proven track record of success in detecting human and poultry diseases, analyzing GMO crops, and contributing to the control and diagnosis of these diseases.
My Master’s degree in Microbiology from Vidyasagar University (2017) provided me with a solid foundation in the field. During my postgraduate studies, I actively engaged in two research projects focusing on antimicrobial sensitivity and resistance. My work on controlling potato late blight through bimetallic nanoparticles and investigating efflux pump inhibitors to combat multi-drug resistance in bacteria through chemo-bioinformatics studies resulted in publications, showcasing my research capabilities and analytical skills.
I am eager to contribute my expertise and passion for research to your esteemed organization. My current project is nearing completion, and I am available for immediate employment. I am confident that my skills and experience align well with your company profile, and I am excited about the opportunity to learn and grow within your team.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I have attached my resume for your review and welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications further.
 
Sincerely,
Akash Ghosh
