Cover Letter:
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in a position within your esteemed organization. As a postgraduate in Biotechnology with hands-on experience in molecular biology, fermentation, and microbiology, I bring both technical expertise and a strong passion for research-driven innovation.
Throughout my academic journey, I have developed proficiency in techniques such as PCR, gel electrophoresis, cloning, and cell culture. I have also gained exposure to bioinformatics tools like Primer-BLAST, PYMOL, and AutoDock. My recent project at ICAR–NRCB focused on genome-wide identification and cloning of NPR genes in banana, contributing to Fusarium wilt resistance research—demonstrating my ability to apply theory to practical challenges.
Additionally, my internships at the Pasteur Institute of India and Marina Lab provided valuable insights into vaccine production and biofertilizer evaluation, enhancing my understanding of production processes and quality control. Active participation in academic events and merit-based recognition further reflect my dedication to continuous learning and excellence.
I am particularly drawn to your organization’s commitment to scientific advancement and quality. I would be excited to contribute to your R&D, production, or quality assurance initiatives in a collaborative setting.
Please find my resume attached for your review. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your team.
Warm regards,
Prasitha Mohan
