Subject: Prospective PhD student: Aromatase Inhibitor And Cdk4/6 Inhibitor Resistance Dear Professor Cescon, 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]. Your research on aromatase inhibitor and cdk4/6 inhibitor resistance 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 CIHR-funded project "A Liquid-Biopsy Informed Platform Trial to Evaluate Treatment in CDK4/6-Inhibitor Resistant ER+/HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer" (2022), 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]
