I am writing to express my interest for the PhD position in your working group on the topic of haematopoietic cancer research.I had always been interested in immunological responses and I would be very excited to apply it together with my skills and knowledge to make a step against cancer. I dream to be part not only of basic science but also to make an investigation that can be directly applied for the sake of humanity. Reading the papers from your group, brought me to conclusion that I not only share with you and your group the interest in cancer research, but that I acquired most of the techniques you are currently using in the ongoing projects.
My training in molecular biology research started during my bachelor studies in the group of Prof. Kavsan in Kyiv where I studied role of CHI3L2 protein in context of AKT pathways and glioma cancer. I received a broad training in main molecular biological methods and applied it to investigate the role of phosphorylation of our target protein in cell proliferation. I worked not only …show more content…
So I started my PhD at MFPL under supervision of young group leader Dr. Slade. But you would probably ask why am I applying to your group if I already have a PhD position and I want to be honest and give you answer immediately to avoid misunderstanding. Right after I started my PhD my group had to challenge serious money problems. I manage to win an uni-doc fellowship from the University of Vienna but unfortunately as a PhD student I had no other possibilities to receive grants for material costs. Like this at the end of my first year I am in the difficult situation with a fellowship for 3 years but without money to do experiments. At this point me and my supervisor decided that it will be better for both of us to look for another group rather that spend more time hoping for a grant or switching for a less ambitious
