**Subject: **Application for the Position of Microbiology Executive
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my keen interest in the position of **Microbiology Executive** at Kwality Pharmaceuticals Ltd, as advertised. With an MSc in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology from the **University of Sheffield, UK**, and a B.Tech in Biotechnology from **SVPUAT, Meerut**, I offer a strong foundation in microbiological testing, aseptic handling, and laboratory quality control techniques directly relevant to this role.
During my undergraduate studies, I conducted two detailed research projects focused on **E. coli isolation from raw milk** and **microbial water quality assessment**, gaining practical experience in **colony counts, biochemical testing, PCR, and environmental monitoring**. These skills were further strengthened during my Master’s research, where I performed **enzyme expression and purification** under sterile conditions using _E. coli_ systems, and adhered to rigorous lab documentation and GLP/GMP practices.
My familiarity with microbiological testing methods such as **MLT**, **sterility testing**, and theoretical understanding of **BET (Bacterial Endotoxin Test)** equips me to handle the microbial quality control of raw materials, water systems, and finished pharmaceutical products. I am confident in working with standard microbiology instrumentation, including incubators, autoclaves, and laminar flow hoods, and have maintained detailed SOP-compliant records.
I am impressed by Kwality Pharmaceuticals’ commitment to quality and innovation in the pharmaceutical space, and I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to your QC–Microbiology team. I bring with me not only technical competence but also adaptability, discipline, and a global perspective gained through international academic exposure.
I would be grateful for the opportunity to further discuss how my background aligns with the needs of your team.
Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards,
**Rohit Pawar**
