To Whom It May Concern: As a highly innovative and accomplished Research Scientist with a strong background in Human Genetics, Precision Medicine, Microbiology and Biochemistry, I am currently seeking to use my highly transferable skills to train and teach the next generation of young scientific minds. With extensive experience in biological research, documentation, teaching/instruction, and laboratory environments, I feel confident in my ability to generate superior results for your organization. Some of my key accomplishments include: • A significant contribution in the progress of the pharmacogenomics research programme lead by Prof Benjeddou. • Extensive investigation of genetic variations of important SLC genes within the Cape Admixed population. • Development of drug uptake/inhibition assays. • Cloned and expressed several proteins of interest for functional studies. • Created lesson and curriculum plans. • Taught undergraduate students the disciplines of Cell Biology and Microbiology. • Coached students on proper lab techniques. • Trained Ph.D. colleagues in a specific curation technique to collect names and synonyms of proteins in order to retrieve relevant literature. I possess extensive writing experience, analysis, and proofreading skills. I am a performance driven individual with a passion for learning. I can quickly adapt and achieve goals in any environment. Furthermore, I will be spearheading a new niche area within the Precision Medicine programme aimed at developing and validating new drug delivery systems based upon the local haplotype structure. For a more detailed presentation of my skills and background, please review the enclosed resume. I look forward to speaking with you at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your consideration. I believe that I have demonstrated the qualities and skills that you seek and would welcome the opportunity to discuss my suitability further. Sincerely, Brendon Pearce, Ph.D.
