Cover Letter:

As a passionate supporter for advancing healthcare through innovative research and technology, I am thrilled to present my application for working at IIT-BHU.
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 have already worked on a few research and a review paper in the field of Immunology and Bioinformatics and have gained a lot of experience in the past 2 years while working in the _genomics and proteomics lab_ at **Amity University**. I have a record of achievements providing outstanding research skills with excellent ability to take directions and work independently with minimum oversight.
I am confident that working at IIT-BHU will provide me with the ideal platform to further explore these research interests under the guidance of esteemed faculty members and within a vibrant academic community. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the research endeavors of the department and to embark on a transformative academic journey at IIT-BHU.
Thank you for considering my application.
