Subject: Prospective PhD student: Apob Triglyceride-Rich Lipoprotein Kinetics Dear Professor Vine, My name is [your name], and I am a [your current degree or role] at [your institution]. I am applying for a PhD position starting in [term and year]. I read your paper "Effect of fish oil as an adjunct therapy to metformin on vascular and cardiac health in women with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome: protocol for a randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial." (2026), and it connects closely to my own work on [your research topic]. [One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your NSERC-funded project "The biological function of sex and sex-steroid hormones in intestinal lipid and incretin metabolism" (2020), and I would be glad to contribute to work in that direction. Are you accepting new PhD students for [term and year]? I have attached my CV and transcripts, and I would be glad to talk at a time that suits you. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, [your name]
