Dear Professor
I am ----------- which is also
a partner university of the National University of Singapore. I am currently in my pre-final year and my long-term goal is to
carry out research in the field of Biochemistry where my
interests lie in the field of use of molecular biology for therapeutical
purposes.I am looking for an opportunity to gain some quality research
experience in your lab for a period of 10 weeks in May'16 - July'16
which may lay a strong foundation for my future research career.
I
came across the research work done by you while looking for potential
universities for my further education. The objective of the research
being done in your lab aligns with my long term research goals. The work
done in your lab on understanding the role of chromatin remodelling
complexes in prevention of cancer and their regulation really intrigues
me . I
would like to enquire if there is a possible opening in your lab for me
to come and learn under your insightful guidance in this field.
I
have been fascinated by the world of genes and DNA from the first day I
was introduced to it in my 10th grade in school and my interest in the
field has grown even more after going into details of it in the courses
‘Introduction to Biology’ , ‘Biotechnology and its Applications’ and
'Biosystems' in my college where I was exposed to the immense potential
and beauty of this field and I also performed well academically in
these courses. This has motivated me to explore research in this field.
I would love to work under your guidance to gain some quality research experience
in the field before applying to a graduation school. I am a hardworking
and sincere student with a good academic record throughout my
life(details in the CV). I have also actively participated in
extra-curricular activities which has helped me develop good time
management and leadership skills. I assure you if you would provide me
an
opportunity to work under your guidance I would work with all
my dedication to ensure that you are not disappointed.
I would like
to know your valuable views on my application and your interest in
taking me as a summer student. I strongly believe that under your
research group would be an insightful experience for me which will
provide me an upthrust to me in pursuing my career in this area. I will
be happy to write back to you for any further information you would like
to know and would be happy to provide a recommendation letter if asked
for. Please find my CV attached:
Thank You for your time and patience.
