Cover Letter:
Respected Hiring Manager,
I am Praveen Kumar N who worked as Junior Research Fellow at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai for 2 years. I’m writing to apply for the position of Genome analyst position in MEDGENOME company, Bangalore.
My experience includes: NGS analysis. Whole genome sequencing, RT-qPCR, differential gene expression analysis and Bioinformatic analysis. Metabolite isolation and GC-MS sample preparation, GC-MS analysis and data interpretation. My technical skills include proficiency in tools like BWA and BLAST for plant genome analysis and clinical samples. Additionally, I am well-versed in statistical analysis and pathway enrichment tools such as [hidden] investigate seagrass stress biology, focusing on epigenetics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics.
During my [hidden] dissertation, I worked on recombinant protein expression and therapeutic enzyme engineering using the_ E. coli_ expression system and also evaluated anti-quorum sensing properties against clinical Pseudomonas strains using Galleria mellonella as an animal model.
My experience with plant and bacterial specific genomic analysis, coupled with my skills in variant detection, gene expression studies, and epigenomics, aligns seamlessly with the technical and biological expertise you are seeking. Moreover, my ability to stay abreast of emerging technologies and research trends ensures that I can contribute innovative solutions to your projects.
I am confident that my qualifications and enthusiasm for contributing to the field of genomics will make me an asset to MEDGENOME. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experiences can support your mission.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and look forward to the opportunity to further discuss my suitability for this role.
Sincerely,
**Praveen Kumar N.**
