Cover Letter:

To whomsoever it may concern,

I’m Prayasi Gangopadhyay, a final year masters student of Bioinformatics at Pondicherry University. I am at the top of my class and extremely interested in the field of data analysis in genomics. My dissertation project is in Structural Bioinformatics under Dr. Murali, where I predict the in 3d structure of a bacterial multifunctional enzyme in silico. But, a brief winter internship last December at NIBMG, under Dr NK Biswas exposed me to the world of oncogenomics and I have been hooked ever since.
Moving forward, I want to enhance my skills in computational genomics and contribute to the best of my abilities. I believe my limited experience in the field is compensated by my sincere efforts and knack for learning new things. Therefore, I would like to join the Medgenome team immediately after my course completes.
Looking forward to a positive response from your side
