Cover Letter:
Dear Sir,
I am writing to express my keen interest in a this position in the field of molecular microbiology or medical laboratory science. With a Master’s in Medical Laboratory Science and Technology from RKMVERI and hands-on experience in virology, diagnostic PCR, nucleic acid extractions, and antimicrobial resistance studies, I am eager to contribute to impactful scientific research in infectious diseases and public health.
During my dissertation at the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine, I worked on the epidemiology and risk factors of acute respiratory viral infections, where I conducted molecular diagnostics, data analysis, and presented findings in academic forums. This built on my prior experience at Tata Medical Center, where I was involved in advanced diagnostic microbiology across bacteriology, mycology, serology, and molecular virology. These roles not only deepened my scientific curiosity but also strengthened my command of lab techniques like DNA/RNA isolation, PCR assays, antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), and clinical data interpretation.
What drives me is a commitment to research that directly enhances healthcare diagnostics and patient outcomes. I take pride in being meticulous, collaborative, and adaptable — qualities that have helped me thrive in demanding lab settings. I am especially interested in exploring research opportunities where I can engage with emerging molecular tools and contribute to ongoing projects in virology, antimicrobial resistance, or diagnostics development.
I would be honored to bring my skills, passion, and scientific training to your team. I am available at your convenience for an interview and can provide additional documentation or references if required.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing meaningfully to your research mission.
Warm regards,
Sudipta Mukherjee
