**Subject:** Application for QC Microbiologist
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the QC Microbiologist position at Hitech Formulations, Himachal Pradesh. With a strong foundation in microbiology and molecular diagnostics, and practical experience in microbial assay development, sterilization techniques, and antimicrobial research, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to your Quality Control Microbiology team.
During my M.Sc. in Medical Biotechnology from Manipal Academy of Higher Education, I developed an in vitro model to study ALS pathophysiology, gaining experience in aseptic handling, mammalian cell culture, immunocytochemistry, and qPCR. Later, I joined CSIR-CCMB as a project trainee to expand my knowledge on biomaterial engineering and antimicrobial assay development using silk fibroin, where I performed comprehensive physicochemical characterization and in vitro testing to assess biocompatibility and antimicrobial efficacy, further sharpening my skills in microbial techniques and quality assessment procedures. This work demanded precision, sterility, and adherence to rigorous documentation standards qualities that I understand are essential for success in a QC microbiology environment.
What draws me to Hitech Formulations is your commitment to high regulatory standards and your focus on microbiological quality assurance and novel delivery systems. I am particularly aligned with responsibilities such as media preparation, environmental monitoring, and autoclave validation. My attention to detail, familiarity with good documentation, and comfort working under compliance protocols would allow me to maintain records and ensure reliability across testing workflows.
I am excited at the prospect of bringing my academic training, lab skills, and motivation for quality driven work to your team. Thank you for considering my application. I would be happy to discuss how I can contribute to your microbiology division and support your mission for excellence in cosmetic manufacturing.
Sincerely,
**Sowmya Baddepudi**
