Cover Letter:
Respected Sir/ madam,
I am writing to express my keen interest in the Product Specialist position at Rivarp Medical. With a strong academic background in biotechnology and hands-on project experience in cardiovascular disease research, I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to your team by supporting surgeons during procedures and driving the adoption of innovative medical products.
During my Master’s dissertation at Amrita School of Biotechnology, I worked extensively on a project titled _“Understanding the Calcineurin-NFAT Axis in Angiotensin II-stimulated Cardiac Hypertrophy.”_ This involved advanced techniques such as western blotting, siRNA knockdown, and cell-based assays, and gave me deep insights into the pathophysiology of cardiac disorders. This experience not only strengthened my technical abilities but also fueled my passion for cardiovascular healthcare and medical innovations that improve patient outcomes.
My academic and internship experiences have equipped me with practical skills in sample handling, data documentation, medical product analysis, analytical techniques, and molecular biology tools such as PCR, qPCR, and gel electrophoresis.
I believe my knowledge of cardiovascular systems and research, combined with my strong communication and problem-solving skills, make me well-suited to support surgeons in the operating theatre and collaborate effectively with doctors and clinical teams. I am confident in my ability to assess client needs, present tailored product solutions, and maintain accurate documentation of field activities and customer engagement. I am also eager to participate in training programs and medical symposiums to stay updated and contribute actively to product success.
Thank you for considering my application. I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss my qualifications further and look forward to the possibility of contributing to your team.
Yours sincerely,
Niveditha P R
