Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the position of Clinical Research Associate at Mascot Spincontrol Pvt. Ltd. I am currently pursuing my M.Sc. (Hons.) in Biotechnology and have hands-on experience in research, lab work, and documentation, which I believe matches the responsibilities of this role.
As part of my master’s research at the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics (NIBMG), I am working on a project involving zebrafish models to study inflammation and related diseases. My work includes handling biological samples, performing tests like PCR/qPCR and immunohistochemistry, maintaining study records, and ensuring data accuracy. These experiences have taught me how to follow protocols carefully, record data correctly, and work efficiently in a research environment.
I also trained at SHRM Biotechnologies Pvt. Ltd. and IISER Kolkata, where I learned about lab safety, study documentation, and how to manage different lab techniques. I’m confident in using Microsoft Office tools, handling instruments, and following Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).
I enjoy working with people, solving problems, and paying attention to details. I believe these qualities will help me manage volunteers, keep study records organized, and support the smooth running of clinical studies at your company.
Thank you for considering my application. I would be happy to speak further about how I can contribute to your team.
Sincerely,
Diganta Roy
