Cover Letter:
My name is Manisha Rani. I hold an [hidden] in Biotechnology (Thesis) from Punjab Agricultural University, where I developed a solid foundation in molecular biology, bioinformatics, and genome analysis. My experience as SNPLine Application Scientist at Avenir Biosciences has equipped me with expertise in genotyping, SNP analysis, and data interpretation. I have independently managed large-scale genomic projects, optimized workflows, and ensured data quality, aligning well with MedGenome’s mission of advancing precision medicine through genomics. Beyond technical proficiency, I have contributed to scientific research, and published research articles and review articles in reputated journals during my bachelor’s and master’s degree. My ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, coupled with strong problem-solving and analytical skills, makes me a strong fit for this role. I am particularly excited about MedGenome’s innovative approach to genomic research. With a strong background in biotechnology and a specialization in genomic analysis, I am eager to contribute my skills to your esteemed organization.
