Application for Scientist – High-Throughput Assay Development & Antibody Discovery
To whom it may concern
I am excited to apply for the position of Scientist in High-Throughput Assay Development and Antibody Discovery at Novartis. With a strong background in mammalian cell culture, immunoassays (ELISA), FACS, and functional cell-based assays, I am eager to contribute my technical expertise and collaborative mindset to your team. My experience in oncology—gained through an internship and my Master’s thesis—has further deepened my interest in targeted therapies and innovative drug discovery.
During my academic and professional work, I have developed a keen eye for detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality data. For example, I adapted and optimized certain cell-based assays, to bee able to screen for synergy between to compounds, the centerpiece of my master's thesis. My ability to work seamlessly within interdisciplinary teams aligns well with Novartis’ collaborative culture, and I thrive in environments where shared goals drive scientific progress.
What excites me most about this role is the opportunity to leverage cutting-edge technologies to accelerate antibody discovery. Novartis’ leadership in oncology and immunology inspires me, and I would be honored to contribute to your mission of reimagining medicine.
I would welcome the chance to discuss how my skills and passion align with your team’s needs. Thank you for your time and consideration—I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,

Vera Stalder
