Subject: Prospective PhD student: Adp-Ribosylation Factor Dear Professor Claing, 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 "ARF6 controls VSMC phenotypic switching upon lipid stimulation to promote inflammatory signaling contributing to the progression of atherosclerosis." (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 "Investigation of ARF small GTPases in vascular smooth muscle cell dysfunction to prevent vascular disease" (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]
