Paper to mentionMention their CIHR grant from 2025

Subject: Prospective PhD student: Calpain Dear Professor Peng, 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 "Corrigendum to "Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 and receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase-1 orchestrate the Z-DNA-binding protein 1-mediated PANoptosis and mouse heart transplant rejection" [American Journal of Transplantation Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2026, Pages 962-979]." (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 CIHR-funded project "Mitochondrial calpain-mediated ATP5A1 proteolysis in heart failure: therapeutic potential applications" (2025), 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]
