Dear Hiring Manager,
I am excited to apply for the Genome Analyst position at MedGenome. With a Master’s degree in Biotechnology and hands-on experience in bioinformatics, I am eager to enhance my skills by being a part of your team. Currently, I am pursuing a 6-month internship at Biotecnika, where I am working on a project focused on evaluating AMR in Humans using Bioinformatics approaches. This opportunity has strengthened my ability to analyze genomic data and utilize bioinformatics tools, making me well-prepared for this role.
During my internship, I conducted a comparative genomics study on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, using bioinformatics tools like Clustal Omega. I have worked on analyzing biological datasets using Galaxy, an online web-based tool. I have worked with databases like NCBI, ResFinder, PATRIC, and SRA to perform sequence alignments and analyze bacterial genomes. Additionally, I have been expanding my programming skills with Python and R (Basic) and have used Google Colab to work with Biopython for automating data analysis.
I am particularly drawn to this position at MedGenome due to your innovative work in genomics and your commitment to sequence 100,000 Genomes in Asia. I am eager to contribute my technical expertise and further develop my knowledge in genomics and bioinformatics within a dynamic, research-driven environment.
**Software & Programming Proficiencies**:
– **Bioinformatics Tools**: CLUSTAL OMEGA, NCBI, ResFinder, SRA, GEO, PATRIC, EMBL
– **Literature Database**: PubMed
– **Programming Languages**: Python, Basic R
– **Other Tools**: MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
In my free time, I enjoy staying updated on the latest trends in biotechnology and genomics by reading scientific literature, as well as experimenting with new programming challenges. Additionally, I have a strong interest in exploring nature that allows me to combine my love for science with creativity and mindfulness.
Thank you for considering my application. I am confident that my skills and enthusiasm would make me a valuable addition to your team. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background and abilities align with your needs.
Your Sincerely,
Supriya Jha
