Claims against the selection criteria

I am the right candidate for this position because my profile is matching with the profile of your ideal candidate. I would like to explain this by quantifying into 5 points. For the further details and otherqualifications please refer enclosed resume.

(1) I have excellent knowledge of chemistry as well as polymer chemistry and Biopolymers.

Explanation : I completed Master of Science with Chemistry and pursuing M.Tech. degree. I have qualified CSIR-UGC NET (National eligibility Test) in chemistry conducted by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India. I have also qualified GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test) in chemistry with 88.11%, organized by Indian Institute Of Technologies and selected for Master of Technology course( from July2004 – May 2006) in Material Science And Engineering with polymer specialization at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, which is most leading and prestigious Institute of India.

(2) I possess very good knowledge of Biopolymeric drug delivery systems and biopolymers.

Explanation : I am working with biopolymeric drug delivery systems as my research Project work for the fulfillment of M.Tech. course since May 2005 . I succeed to modify pectin ( pectin-poly - Acrylamide graft copolymer) drug delivery system for oral, transdermal and Ointment for controlled release of salicylic acid as a model drug. Biopolymers, smart polymers studied during the courses of M.Tech. 1st year syllabus.

(3) I am having excellent scientific approaches, investigation and challenge facing ability.

Explanation : I succeed in the modification of pectin to improve film forming, gel forming properties and pH sensitivity which is very useful for transdermal patches and ointment type gel formulations. Pure pectin doesn’t have very good properties. No work is done on the pectin modification before my work ,publication on it is in process.

(4) I possess excellent communication skill with English. I believe in learning. Support : Medium of my education is English since 12 th standard (Science). All above mentioned explanation support the other statement.

(5) I have ability to obtain residency in Australia. Support : I would get my passport within 20 days (applied before 2 months). I have birth Certificate, school leaving certificate including exact birth date, residency etc.

Thank you for your time and consideration of my candidature for the same position.

Research Proposal

Currently I am working with the pectin – polyacrylamide graft copolymer drug delivery system. Future plan of my work includes study of pectin and polyvinyl alcohol graft copolymer as well as esterified cross linked system for transdermal patches, tablet and capsule coatings, ointments. Pectin have hypocholesterolemic and antithrombotic activities. It has a putative protective action against colorectal cancer.(www.pdrhealth.com). So my ideas are deliveryconsisting nanoparticles of calcium pectinate give the better results for the same. I will use this systems for my future research work. I want to study another delivery system consist of carboxymethyl cellulose crosslinked with glutaraldehyde and its nanoparticles system. Polyvinyl alcohol crosslinked with glutaraldehyde nanoparticles is another idea of my future work.
