Subject: Prospective PhD student: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Dear Professor Abdelbary, 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 "Timing from admission to debridement, antibiotic, and implant retention (DAIR) affects mortality risk in total hip prosthetic joint infections." (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 SSHRC-funded project "Driving innovation to improve periprosthetic joint infection care: a Single-Stage Multipurpose AntimicRobial implanT (SMART) design" (2021), 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]
