Subject: Application for Laboratory Manager (M/F/D) – Reference: Avantor Sweden Dear Officer,
I am writing to express my keen interest in the position of Laboratory Manager (M/F/D) at Avantor, as advertised. With over 20 years of comprehensive experience in biomedical research, laboratory operations, and GLP-compliant animal facility management—combined with a Ph.D. and postdoctoral training in Sweden—I bring a unique and globally relevant perspective to laboratory leadership.
My experience spans translational research in tissue engineering, including the pioneering development of the world’s first tissue-engineered vein published in The Lancet. I have held senior scientific and managerial roles across prestigious Indian institutes (ICMR-NIN, NIV, NIRRCH) and global organizations, including Zydus Research Center and the Mannheimer Foundation
(USA), where I led nonhuman primate research under GLP standards. In all these roles, I have been deeply committed to animal welfare, protocol optimization, audit readiness, and implementing cutting-edge digital systems for laboratory monitoring and quality assurance. Having previously lived and worked in Sweden, I am familiar with its research environment and cultural expectations. Being multi-lingual, I can learn required fluency in Swedish in few months, if opportunity provided. I am confident that my scientific rigor, administrative experience, and people-centric management style align perfectly with Avantor’s values and operational excellence. I would be honored to contribute my expertise to strengthen Avantor’s research infrastructure and quality standards. I am available at your convenience for an interview and would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how I can contribute to your team. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,
Dr. Pradeep Bhatu Patil
