    Cover Letter:

    To whomsoever it may concern,

    I’m Prayasi Gangopadhyay, a final year masters student of Bioinformatics at Pondicherry University. I am at the top of my class and extremely interested in the field of data analysis in genomics. My dissertation project is in Structural Bioinformatics under Dr. Murali, where I predict the in 3d structure of a bacterial multifunctional enzyme in silico. But, a brief winter internship last December at NIBMG, under Dr NK Biswas exposed me to the world of oncogenomics and I have been hooked ever since.
    Moving forward, I want to enhance my skills in computational genomics and contribute to the best of my abilities. I believe my limited experience in the field is compensated by my sincere efforts and knack for learning new things. Therefore, I would like to join the Medgenome team immediately after my course completes.
    Looking forward to a positive response from your side

    **Hiring Manager**
    MedGenome Labs Ltd.
    Bangalore, India
    **Subject:** Application for Genome Analyst Position
    Dear Hiring Manager,
    I am writing to express my keen interest in the **Genome Analyst** position at MedGenome. With a **Master’s in Molecular Biotechnology** from the **University of Birmingham** and hands-on experience in **Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies**, I am eager to contribute to your mission of advancing genomic diagnostics. My background in **variant analysis, molecular diagnostics, and bioinformatics collaboration** aligns well with the role’s requirements.
    During my tenure as a **Research Lead at Rancelab Pvt Ltd**, I conducted **Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) on patient tumour samples** using **Illumina platforms**, ensuring data integrity through **FASTQC-based quality control**. I mapped sequences using **BWA** and performed variant calling with **GATK**, successfully identifying **driver mutations in oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes**. My expertise extends to **targeted gene panel sequencing**, where I analyzed **BRCA1/BRCA2 variants**, classified them using **ClinVar and dbSNP**, and assessed clinical relevance through **PubMed and HGMD literature curation**.
    My ability to **collaborate across disciplines** is demonstrated by my work with **bioinformatics teams** in processing large genomic datasets. I performed **RNA-Seq analysis** using **STAR, HTSeq, and DESeq2** to identify differentially expressed genes, supporting precision medicine initiatives. Additionally, my experience in **designing molecular diagnostic assays**—including **multiplex PCR primers for CYP450 gene variants**—would be valuable for assay development at MedGenome.
    Beyond technical expertise, I bring **strong analytical and communication skills**, allowing me to **interpret sequencing results, prepare clinical reports, and effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams**. My commitment to precision and efficiency is reflected in my role in optimizing **biotinylation efficiency in Turbo-ID constructs**, achieving **85% accuracy in experimental validation**.
    MedGenome’s pioneering efforts in clinical genomics and large-scale projects such as **GenomeAsia 100K** resonate with my passion for cutting-edge genomic research. I am excited about the opportunity to apply my expertise in **NGS, human genetics, and molecular diagnostics** while growing within an innovative team. I look forward to discussing how my skills can contribute to MedGenome’s vision.
    Thank you for your time and consideration. I have attached my **CV** for your review. I would welcome the opportunity for an interview to explore this further.
    Sincerely,
    **Amit Ladha**
