Subject: Prospective PhD student: Chromatin Remodelling Dear Professor Lagali, 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 "Hedgehog regulates Norrie disease protein to drive neural progenitor self-renewal." (2013), 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 CIHR-funded project "Interrogating the Role of Chromatin Remodelling Proteins in Vision Health and Development using Mouse Models of Neurological System Diseases to Devise Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Visual Impairment" (2023), 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]
