I am contacting you to express my strong interest in joining your laboratory as a graduate student in the Neuroscience and Behavior masters program.Your work with zebra fish and optogenetics is extremely fascinating and cutting edge. Understanding locomotion at the molecular level is something that has massive implications in the clinical world, and I would love to be a part of the team that elucidates it. Your recent work detailing the eight present GABA receptors in the developing central nervous system of zebrafish was a captivating read and the implications of your findings could result in large strides in the field of neuroscience. Of all of the other research opportunities on campus, yours stuck out to me because it’s focus is closely aligned with my own interests. I’ve been a student at this university for three years now, and have always desired to contribute towards some of the fantastic research conducted here, to which I believe yours is at the forefront.
