Cover Letter:

Dear, I am writing to express my interest in the position for the job posting. As a recent graduate with 
a Master’s degree in Biotechnology from Banasthali University, Jaipur, I am pleased about the 
opportunity to contribute to your esteemed company and further develop my skills in the biotech 
industry.
“I am currently employed as a Quality Control Analyst in the startup company (Testright Nanosystem 
Pvt. Ltd. – Noida), where I conduct testing based on the MBRT principle for analysis quality of milk. I 
possess proficient skills in Arduino software, utilized for analysing testing results within the company. 
Additionally, I actively engage in customer relations to effectively resolve issues pertaining to our 
company’s devices.
During my academic journey, I have gained a solid foundation in biotechnology principles, laboratory 
techniques, and research methodologies. Through coursework and hands-on laboratory experiences, 
I have developed proficiency in various molecular biology techniques, including PCR, Nanoparticle 
Synthesis, DNA Isolation from plants, Gel Electrophoresis, UV Spectroscopy, Fungus & Bacterial 
Culturing, BLAST, Quality control. Additionally, my coursework in bioinformatics has equipped me with 
the skills to analyse biological data and utilize relevant software tools effectively. I have also fortified 
my skills by completing SAS Base Software Certification, in data manipulation and statistical analysis, 
enhancing my ability to derive meaningful insights from complex datasets.
In my recent role as Trainee in field of research & development at ICFRE – HFRI, Shimla, I worked 
successfully on Green Synthesis of Copper Nanoparticles using leaf extracts of Rumex Nepalensis 
Spreng. And Rhododendron Arboreum Smith. And Assessment of Antimicrobial Activity. Moreover, 
throughout the process of conducting research in my post-graduation, I have developed a deep 
understanding of Effect of Selenium in Two Wheat Varieties under Fluoride Stress. I learned to assess 
how selenium influences growth parameters, antioxidant defense mechanisms, and biochemical 
responses in wheat plants, ultimately contributing to enhanced stress tolerance and crop resilience.
Although I am a recent post graduate, I am highly motivated, quick to learn, and adaptable to new 
environments. I possess strong communication skills, both verbal and written, which I believe are 
essential for collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and effectively presenting scientific findings. 
Furthermore, I am passionate about utilizing biotechnology to address pressing issues such as 
healthcare, environmental sustainability, and food security. I am excited about the opportunity to 
contribute my skills and knowledge to projects that have a meaningful impact on society.
Thank you for considering my application. I am excited about the possibility of joining you company 
and contributing to its mission of excellence in biotechnology research and innovation. I am available 
for an interview at your earliest convenience and can be reached at [redacted] or via email at
