    I am writing this mail for the possible PhD position in your group. As a organic chemistry student what impress me more about research is the systematic development in organic chemistry. I would like to be a part of your university research journey to explore new self-carbohydrate based Research as well as Organic, inorganic as well as Chemical biology research .
    Currently I am working on the development of Cancer Vaccine Platform using Tumor associated Carbohydrate Antigen Conjugated Gold Nanoparticles of Different Morphologies. For this work I have synthesized two tumor associated carbohydrate antigens SLx and STn glyopeptide. I could successfully implement Synthetic carbohydrate chemistry, protecting group chemistry, multi-step organic reactions, and chemical biology approach in a transdisciplinary manner for this work. While carrying out this I learned the different techniques such as; UV, solid phase peptide synthesis, High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy as well as scanning electron microscopy. I have also successfully synthesized the gold nanoparticles of different morphologies.
    Prior to that, After my university study major in organic chemistry, I gained organic synthesis experience by working on Synthesis of Azetidine Imino Sugar from D-Glucose at Pune University under the guidance of Dr. Dhavale (India). Once, I gained organic chemistry experience, I moved to the IISER Pune and joined glycobiology lab of Dr. Raghavendra Kikkeri.
    As you know, sugar chemistry is one of the toughest and challenging fields and there is a huge gap between the carbohydrate synthesis and biological applications. I would like to continue in the interdisciplinary area of chemistry and biology. If I get an opportunity to work in your laboratory, I would like to explore this field under your guidance. I am sending my curriculum vitae including publications list and research summary herewith for your kind evaluation. I hope my research experience and expertise can make a significant contribution to your group. I am confident that I will be able to match to your expectation.
    I am eagerly looking forward to hearing from you.

    Yours sincerely,
    Akshay Hande
