Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in applying for a suitable position at your organization. With over 8+ years of dedicated experience in research & industrial communities, coupled with a Masters degree in Applied Microbiology, I am confident in my potential of adding value to your team's efforts.
As a Junior Research Fellow at Sathyabama Institute of Science & Technology, managing a DBT-sponsored project on marine actinobacteria-biodiversity and bioprospecting of these organisms-in my recent position, I designed and executed experiments for the isolation of bioactive compounds having antibiotic, anti-TB, and anti-HIV properties. A major contribution has been towards research publications. I have succeeded in building a robust ability to document scientific findings exhaustively. I was a research assistant, and the role demanded a sharp eye for detail and an ability to solve the most difficult problems coherently as I worked to ensure the quality and consistency of what our lab produced. I have acquired the proficiency in various techniques related to Salmonella isolation techniques.
Earlier, I was working as a Senior Lab Technician at Aviagen India. The position had me responsible for the serology lab, which involved handling responses to various vaccines and conducting microbiological tests of feed, water, and environmental samples. Besides these, even more responsibilities included preparation of SOPs and assays being validated, proficiency testing-a fitting testimony of dedication toward quality and precision in the outcomes of laboratory work. I am also conversant with several methodologies of testing microbes; these include ELISA, PCR, and QPCR. Similarly, I have knowledge of regulatory standards about quality control in the laboratory.
I am excited about sharing my experience at your organization in advancing microbiological research and innovation. Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experiences align with your team's goals.
Sincerely,
Ms. G. Vijayalakshmi
