Subject: Application for Junior Genome Analyst Position
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am eager to apply for the Junior Genome Analyst position at MedGenome. With a Biotechnology (BSc & MSc) degree from DTU and expertise in NGS, genome sequencing, and bioinformatics, I am excited to contribute to your research.
I have completed a Basic to Intermediate NGS Certification from Biotecnika, and my bioinformatics dissertation focused on computational disease research. My project work mainly revolved around bioinformatics-driven drug discovery, which deepened my interest in this field. During my internship at Jamia Millia Islamia, I worked on protein purification and drug discovery using plant-based phytochemicals.
As an aspiring Junior Genome Analyst, I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills to support MedGenome’s focus on genomics-driven healthcare. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your team.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Firoz Tyagi
