Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the Clinical Research Associate position at Innovance Medical Technologies Pvt. Ltd. With a strong foundation in biotechnology and direct experience in lab-based research, clinical-style documentation, and regulated practices, I am confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to your clinical research operations.
Currently pursuing my M.Sc. (Hons.) in Biotechnology, I am completing my research dissertation at BRIC–National Institute of Biomedical Genomics (NIBMG). My work involves zebrafish-based disease models, where I routinely handle sample processing, perform PCR/qPCR, RNA/protein isolation, western blotting, and maintain detailed lab documentation, ensuring compliance with experimental SOPs and regulatory standards.
My training at SHRM Biotechnologies Pvt. Ltd. helped me build expertise in GLP, SOP writing, microbiological testing, and clinical-style data recording. I also gained exposure to sample tracking, sterile practices, and quality control techniques. These experiences align well with the monitoring, data integrity, and GCP adherence expected in CRA roles.
Additionally, at IISER Kolkata, I was trained in tissue processing, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry, further developing my attention to detail and ability to work within high-pressure research environments. My ability to collaborate in team settings, along with a growing understanding of clinical workflows, makes me well-prepared for on-site and remote monitoring responsibilities. I am eager to apply my technical knowledge and organizational skills in a fast-paced clinical setting.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would be glad to discuss how I can support your ongoing clinical research projects.
Sincerely,
Diganta Roy
