美國生物醫學專業的英文推薦信

　　Dear Sir or Madam:

　　The Tianjin Institute of Hepato-Biliary Diseases is one of the best scientific institutes in medical research in the city. As professor and head of the institute, with many years of research and surgical experience, I am pleased to recommend Mr. Parkman Song, one of our employees, to pursue a graduate degree at your university.

　　I came to know Mr. Song when I treated his father for liver cancer six years ago. During these years, Mr. Song has made his progress from being a mere teenager to a college student, and then to a medical professional, while maintaining close contact with me all along. At the beginning, I was touched by the bravery and fortitude of this young man when facing a major catastrophe in his life. By necessity, he worked part-time for us as a lab assistant during his college years, and was involved in a number of projects on liver transplantation, the ras, p53 gene mutation in liver cancer, and the testing of p53 gene mutation in liver cancer as well. We also carried out a molecular research on the hepatitis virus related to liver cancer. In the process of all these research projects I found Mr. Song a highly intelligent research worker. He has solid educational background in Biomedicine, and has become thoroughly adapted to the lab environment. This is why when he asked for a position in our institute after completing his college education, we accepted him without hesitation.

　　At present, he is a member of our research team for a project on the AAV and gene therapy for liver cancer. So far Mr. Song has done important work for the progress of the project. To be more efficient, he in fact often lives in the lab for several days. Touched by the dedication of this young colleague, I sometimes urge him to take more rest. Mr. Song assured me that he is well aware how valuable time is for research. "I‘m trying to learn as much as possible," he said, "while I‘m still young and can learn things fast."

　　Among all the graduate students I have ever had, I can only find a few who are as outstanding as Mr. Song. I would be happy to have him as my student. But I also strongly support his effort to pursue an advanced degree abroad, which is, I agree, a better choice for his career. I hope that his application will receive your serious attention; indeed, the talent and diligence of this bright young man may bring you many pleasant surprises.

　　Yours Sincerely

　　XX
