Cover Letter:
Dear HR,
I am Madeeha of 6th semsester at Garden City University, pursuing my Bachelor’s in Biotechnology, excited to apply for the Genome Analyst position at MedGenome. As a biotechnology student with a strong foundation in genomics and bioinformatics, I am eager to grow in this field while contributing my analytical and technical skills to impactful research.
My experience at Shodhaka Life Sciences and L.V. Prasad Eye Institute has equipped me with expertise in genomic data analysis, ATAC-Seq processing, mutation screening, and bioinformatics pipelines. I have worked extensively with Python, R, and Excel to extract insights from genomic datasets, ensuring accuracy in data-driven biological research. Additionally, my hands-on experience with Sanger sequencing, PCR, and electrophoresis strengthens my ability to bridge computational analysis with wet-lab techniques.
What draws me to MedGenome is its pioneering work in genomic diagnostics and research. I am eager to learn from leading experts and apply my skills in a dynamic environment that fosters innovation. My curiosity, analytical mindset, and adaptability make me a strong fit for this role.
I would love the opportunity to discuss how my skills align with MedGenome’s mission. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you
Regards,
Madeeha
