Cover Letter:

Dear Sir/Madam,  
I am excited to apply for the Research Associate role at E-Merge Tech. With a strong academic background in Biotechnology, complemented by hands-on research experience, I bring analytical expertise and a keen eye for detail to contribute effectively to your team.  
During my Master’s in Biotechnology at Stella Maris College, I undertook diverse projects that strengthened my research proficiency. My academic project on green synthesis of Zn and Cu nanoparticles from Gynema sylvestre allowed me to develop skills in nanoparticle characterization and biomedical applications, showcasing my ability to translate research into practical solutions. Additionally, my study on the synergic effect of enzyme-secreting bacteria on food waste for biogas production reflects my commitment to sustainable innovations in biotechnology.  
My summer internship at the Central University of Tamil Nadu under Dr. J. Rajesh Banu honed my skills in bacterial screening, biochemical assays, and organic carbon analysis, ensuring precision in experimental methodologies. Beyond research, I have authored a book chapter on carbon-polymer composites and co-authored a review article on plant-derived solutions for modern diseases, highlighting my ability to communicate complex scientific concepts effectively.  
E-Merge Tech’s emphasis on cutting-edge research and innovation aligns with my academic and professional aspirations. Looking forward to your response.
Thank you.
