Cover Letter:

Hello, Sir/Ma’am.
My name is Sakshi Rai, and I am currently working as a research assistant at 3K Nano Pvt Ltd, which is incubated at AIC-JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University) in New Delhi. Over the last few months, I’ve worked on developing MIP (Molecular Imprinting) and aptamers, with the primary goal of replacing antibodies in biosensor development. I also worked on research that focused on using Lateral Flow Assay techniques to detect cortisol levels in saliva. I have worked with the professors on various other initiatives. I worked on a research that involved the molecular detection of fungi in clinical waste samples, a case from Jharkhand. In closing, I want to convey my heartfelt gratitude for taking the time to review my work. I am excited to apply my experience and passion for innovation to your team, contributing to the success of your organization. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background, skills, and enthusiasm can align with the needs of your team. I am available for an interview at your convenience.
