Hiring Manager
E-Merge Tech
Chennai, India
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the position of Research Associate (Bio-Curator) at E-Merge Tech. As an M.Sc. (Hons.) Biotechnology student with a strong academic foundation and hands-on experience in both wet lab research and literature-based analysis, I am excited by the opportunity to contribute to E-Merge Tech’s data curation initiatives in disease biology and molecular research.
I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Biotechnology at Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology. My research at BRIC–National Institute of Biomedical Genomics (NIBMG) focuses on modeling inflammation in zebrafish to study neurodegeneration and ocular phenotypes. During this work, I have gained extensive training in immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy, gene expression analysis (PCR/qPCR), western blotting, and RNA/protein isolation, directly supporting my capability to analyze and validate complex biological data from literature and experiments alike.
In addition, I have undergone rigorous training in microbiological techniques and scientific documentation during my time at SHRM Biotechnologies Pvt. Ltd., and received hands-on experience in animal tissue handling and microscopy at IISER Kolkata. These experiences have sharpened my attention to detail and taught me how to work efficiently within a research-driven, quality-focused environment.
My strong interest in bio-curation is supported by my academic projects and certifications in genomic data science, multi-omics analysis, molecular docking, and pharmacophore modeling. I am proficient in using databases like PubMed, UniProt, and Cochrane Library, and skilled in extracting meaningful biological insights from large volumes of scientific literature skills that match the core responsibilities of this role.
E-Merge Tech’s mission to integrate curated biomedical knowledge for impactful applications strongly resonates with my passion for connecting science with real-world utility. I am a committed learner, detail-oriented, and eager to bring value to your team through accurate and insightful data curation.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to further discuss how my background aligns with your team’s goals. My resume is attached for your review.
Sincerely,
Diganta Roy
