Subject: Prospective PhD student: Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery Dear Professor Jean-Claude, 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 "Plasma phosphorylated tau181 outperforms [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in the identification of early Alzheimer disease." (2024), 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 "Engineering metabolically stable molecules toward tandem targeting of EGFR, its variant EGFRvIII and DNA for killing stem cells and preventing recurrence in the treatment of glioblastom multiforme (GBM)" (2024), 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]
