Letter for Reference for Dr. Estefanía Monturus

February 11, 2014 To Whom It May Concern, The purpose of this letter is to provide my recommendation for Dr. Estefania Monturus in support for her application for a position in the scientific field. Estefania came to our lab in 2007 after she finished her B.Sc. in Veterinary Sciences. She soon became familiar with all the molecular and cell biology techniques we routinely use and after a while she began to work in her Doctoral Thesis that she defended on June 2013. Estefania is a very skillful student and hard worker. Through out all these years I observed how she matured scientific and socially and I strongly believe she can now run a project with a large degree of independence. She also has superior interpersonal skills, both at the scientific and personal levels. She is open minded, extremely kind and sensitive to the needs of others, I have no doubts she will successfully interact in a group setting. Also, I consider Estefania very competent and experienced to run and organize any task in a laboratory setting. In summary, I give my highest recommendation to Dr Estefania Monturus for a position in any scientific field. For any further opinion or information please feel free to write or call at the number below.

Yours sincerely,

Dora B. Krimer, Senior Scientist, Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology Biology Research Center (CIB), Spanish Research Council (CSIC), Madrid, Spain
