STUDY PROPOSAL1
Dear Dr. XXXXX,
I read about your research project on https://www.ucalgary.ca/donglab/research
website and thought that I should initiate to you with an introduction about myself. I found
that you are working at the University of Calgary on the topic of "Bacterial Survival
Mechanisms". I have a great passion for Microbiological science and thus am interested to
work under your guidance since the topic of the study also interests me. I have a great interest
in the internal mechanisms responsible for the survival adaptation of terrestrial bacteria. I
have found that your papers are primarily focused on the explanation of complex internal
regulation methods responsible for the generation of a response to a particular environmental
stimulus. Your studies primarily include the Type Six Secretion System (T6SS) which is
most prevalent in Gram-Negative Bacteria. Some of the topics which interest me are
antagonistic interactions between two of the killer species, identification of the periplasmic
proteins responsible for the survival mechanisms of microbes, studying the interactions
between eukaryotes and microbes and detection of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) in E.coli
treated with polymyxin B. Thus, it can be stated that your studies mainly focus on
microbiological concepts which interest me the most. Thus, after reading your studies, my
interest in microbiology has increased from what it was three years back. I intend to apply to
achieve a degree in Masters in Microbiology in your institution. I am interested to get the
degree under your guidance because of the field of work, which you are studying.
I have completed my Bachelor's degree in Science in Biology department of
Microbiology, Faculty of Science, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia. I have completed my secondary school certificate examination in 2005 from 17th
Secondary School in Makkah with 91% marks, with an excellent grade. I am very much
passionate about microbiological science ever since I have received my bachelor’s degree in
microbiology. I have found that I was able to apply everything that I learned during my
