Cover Letter:

Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the Research Associate (Bio-Curator) position at E-Merge Tech. As a postgraduate in Biotechnology with a strong academic record and hands-on experience in molecular biology, bioinformatics, and scientific research, I am eager to contribute to your team’s efforts in data curation and biomedical knowledge integration. During my academic and research training, I gained practical experience in molecular techniques such as DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, sequencing, ELISA, and microbial assays. I also developed strong analytical and reading comprehension skills through literature reviews and bioinformatics analyses. My recent dissertation at ACTREC, where I worked on a genetic mouse model of colorectal cancer, and my internship at IISc Bangalore have deepened my understanding of disease biology and enhanced my ability to interpret experimental data and research findings. I am well-versed with databases such as PubMed and NCBI, and familiar with tools like BLAST and UniProt for gene and protein data retrieval. I possess a strong foundation in life sciences, excellent attention to detail, and a keen interest in integrating biological information to support scientific discovery and clinical research. I am excited about the opportunity to work in a knowledge-driven environment like E-Merge Tech, where I can apply my skills in literature mining, data analysis, and curation. I would be honored to contribute to your team and further develop as a researcher. 
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can support your goals at E-Merge Tech.
Sincerely,
Deepa P
