   Dear Sir / Madam

   I am Srinath Bayyavarapu, I have comleted M.Sc. Biotechnology and I did my project on expression of GST M1 and GST T1 in chronic myeloid leukemia patients at University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad.

   Signal Transduction and Regulation of Gene Expression are my prime areas of research interests. Particularly studying these aspects during disease and development excites me. With a trenchant interest to pursue PhD in these areas I am in search of doctoral position which could provide me a scope to fulfill my desire. During this search I found your lab which has been delivering outstanding research in these areas. I have carefully gone through your research profile and publications. I felt them very interesting. I strongly believe that working in your lab will provide me a scope to quench my scientific zeal.

   Kindly provide me an opportunity if you have a vacancy in your lab.

   Thanking you.
   With Regards.
