Subject: Prospective PhD student: Animal reproduction Dear Professor Dadarwal, 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 "Effects of cell dissociation treatment on early apoptosis and membrane integrity of in vivo collected bovine endometrial epithelial cells from postpartum cows." (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 NSERC-funded project "Bovine model to study the mechanisms that affect uterine mucosal immunity: role of metabolic status and uterine microbiome." (2020), 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]
