Cover Letter:

Dear sir,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my interest in your Genome analyst. With a B.Tech in Bioinformatics and current experience as a Molecular Biologist, I believe I am well-suited for this role.

In my current position, I have gained extensive experience in pathogen detection through real-time PCR analysis, covering a wide range of infections, including respiratory and life-threatening conditions. My expertise also includes using advanced automated instruments for nucleic acid extraction and validation of oligonucleotide primers.

Key highlights of my qualifications include:

– Proficient in various molecular diagnostic techniques, including RT-PCR and NGS data analysis (RNA-seq, DNA-seq, and metagenomics).
– Hands-on experience with automation platforms such as QIAsymphony and Genexpert, alongside manual extraction techniques for clinical specimens.
– Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and programming languages, including R and Python, to analyze complex datasets.
– Experience in quality assurance, having faced NABL audits and conducted quality checks through EQAS and NIH.
Additionally, I have completed an online Bioinformatics course from EMBS, enhancing my knowledge in Bioinformatics, NGS Data Analysis, and Drug Design.

I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your team and leverage my skills in a wet lab setting. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing this position further.
