Cover Letter:

As a passionate supporter for advancing healthcare through innovative research and technology, I am thrilled to present my application for working as JRS at Molpath Pvt Ltd. During my undergraduate years, I actively engaged in research projects at different institutions that allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge to practical applications. Through internships and laboratory experiences in _School of Computational And Integrative Sciences_, **JNU**; _Radiological Nuclear Allied Imaging Sciences_, **INMAS-DRDO**; and _Hazra Lab_, **IIT Roorkee**, I gained hands- on experience in techniques such as peptide synthesis, cell culturing, animal handling and computational drug designing. These experiences not only reinforced my passion for research but also equipped me with essential laboratory skills and analytical thinking required for advanced scientific inquiry. I am confident that working at Molpath Pvt Ltd will provide me with the ideal platform to further explore these research interests under the guidance of esteemed faculty members and within a vibrant industrial community. I am confident that my academic background, research experiences, and passion for innovation make me a suitable candidate for this job. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the research endeavors of the department and to embark on a transformative journey at Molpath Pvt Ltd.
