Paper to mentionMention their CIHR grant from 2026

Subject: Prospective PhD student: Paternal Health Dear Professor Droit, 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 "Rare Novel Genetic Variants of the OFD1 Gene Associated With a Familial Form and a Sporadic Case of Long Bone Atypical Fractures." (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 "Développement translationnel de l'AIMZ-938 comme thérapie de précision pour les cancers colorectaux réfractaires aux traitements" (2026), 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]
