SUBJECT LINE: Student Interested in Independent Research in your Laboratory

Dear Dr. Otto Octavius,

My name is Mary Jane Watson and I am a second year UCLA undergraduate majoring

in MIMG. I am writing to express interest in doing research in your laboratory beginning

Spring quarter as part of the Student Research Program (SRP) offered by the

Undergraduate Research Center (URC).

As a microbiology major, I am interested in research that focuses on the genetics and

molecular biology of microorganisms. Your work studying the molecular basis for

bacterial communication, or quorum sensing, sounds very exciting. I am very interested

to learn more about this topic and the techniques that your laboratory uses to study this

mechanism as an SRP student.

I would greatly appreciate an opportunity to meet with you to discuss projects in your

laboratory. I am available on Tuesdays after 2pm and on Fridays after noon for an

interview. I have attached my curriculum vita for your review.

I greatly look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,

Mary Jane Watson
