I am very excited to apply for a position in your Bioprocessing and Cell Therapy group. During the summer of 2018 I had the pleasure of interning with your team and ever since then I have taken the skills I learned and applied them in an academic setting to bolster my knowledge of Biology and more specifically Microbiological research. Recently, I have read that your company is working on a project involving the genomic editing of gut bacteria to benefit malnourished children. During the semester I learned about the nature of the gut and the different facets of such an expansive microbiome. I find it fascinating that your team is pioneering research into such an intricate field that has yet to be fully explained.
In your job listing it says that you are looking for someone who has experience working with bioreactors as well as other biotechnology involving cell growth. During my time interning, I was fortunate enough to get experience working with the 50-liter bio reactor so that I could proliferate a colony of mesenchymal stem cells over a period of 90 days. I was able to grow and characterize over 5 billion cells which are now being used by your company for other projects. I also was tasked with growing the same cells in a planar environment using Corning T-150 flasks which resulted in the colony expanding to 9 million cells.
