Cover Letter:
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the Genome Analyst position at MedGenome. With a master’s degree in microbiology and a strong foundation in genetic analysis, I am eager to contribute to your team and support MedGenome’s mission to improve global health through genomics.
During my academic career, I gained hands-on experience in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and data analysis. In my thesis project, I conducted a comprehensive study on microbial genomics, where I performed DNA extraction, library preparation, and sequence analysis. This project enhanced my proficiency in handling NGS data and interpreting genetic variants.
I am particularly impressed by MedGenome’s leadership in genomic diagnostics and research in India. The opportunity to work at Southeast Asia’s largest CAP-accredited NGS lab is inspiring, and I am enthusiastic about contributing to your innovative projects.
I am confident that my academic background and passion for genomics make me a strong fit for the Genome Analyst role at MedGenome. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my skills and experiences align with your team’s needs.
Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
Vishnu Rai
