Cover Letter:

I am writing to express my interest in the Microbiologist position at Star Hospitals. I believe my background and experience in the field of microbiology would be a valuable asset to your team.

I am a recently graduated Master’s degree student from VIT Vellore, where I majored in Applied Microbiology. While there, I had the privilege of working with the CMC Vellore Medical Research department and being able to put theory into practice, conducting molecular and microbiological testing.

I am proficient in a range of molecular diagnostic techniques, including, but not limited to, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and gel electrophoresis. I am also experienced in applying microbiology testing techniques, such as Gram staining, Western blotting, and antimicrobial, antioxidant, and biochemical testing.

With this combined experience, I am confident that I can successfully take on the demands and challenges of this position.
