    Dear Hiring Manager,

    I am writing to express my interest in the Clinical Research Associate (CRA) position at Biosphere Clinical Research. With a master’s degree in Biotechnology and two years of hands-on industry experience in R&D and Quality Control, I bring a strong foundation in clinical research practices, regulatory compliance, and patient safety—key to the successful execution of Phase II–IV trials.

    In my previous roles at Ipca Laboratories, Intas Biopharma, and CFC Pharma Cluster, I have been actively involved in upstream development, working with bioreactors (2L, 5L), and supporting process optimization for monoclonal antibody production. I’ve consistently followed SOPs, contributed to audit readiness, documented processes in ELNs, and collaborated with cross-functional teams. These experiences have not only strengthened my technical skills but also deepened my understanding of ICH-GCP standards and ethical research conduct.

    I am eager to transition into clinical operations, where I can combine my scientific expertise with my growing interest in trial management and patient-focused research. I’ve also spent time during a brief career gap sharpening my skills and exploring data analytics, which I believe enhances my analytical mindset and adaptability in a rapidly evolving clinical space.

    I admire Biosphere Clinical Research’s commitment to advancing healthcare through high-quality clinical trials and would be honored to contribute to your mission. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your team’s goals.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Cover Letter:

    I am Urooj Fatimah, and I have recently completed my Master’s in Biotechnology securing I Division with Distinction from Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi.

    The purpose of this correspondence is to express my interest in working under your supervision.

    During my six months dissertation period, I have explored the lipidomics in Blast-induced Traumatic Brain Injury via LC/MS under the supervision of Dr. Poonam Rana, INMAS, DRDO. The thesis entitled ”Analysis of lipidomic alterations in blood post Blast-induced Traumatic Brain Injury” was solely focused on different altered lipids in the plasma of rats of control versus mild injury group.

    As a Biotechnology student, I have a multidisciplinary background that fits your ongoing research. My experience involved various hands-on experiments, literature review and scientific writing. I have gained experience in animal (rodents- rats & mice) handling and care, urine and blood collection, extraction of lipids and metabolites from samples, sample preparation and running of LC/MS, data annotation, statistical analysis, western blotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA, SDS-PAGE, Agarose gel electrophoresis, Hot-start PCR and antioxidant assays.
