Hi,
I want to contact one of the professors in a local university to help me with my project which is about cancer prevention and cure. He is the chief researcher in the department of oncology and on his website it clearly says that cancer prevention and cure is one of his research areas but he has absolutely no publications regarding these matter. All his publications are about insulin-like factors.
You know how it is useful to mention in your email that you read the person's work and that you are impressed by them,but in my case it would be irrelevant if I mention i read his work on insulin.
I would appreciate if you tell me what you think I should do? Is it ok if I mention that I read his work anyway? Or is there something else that I can replace it in that part of my email?
Thank you very much,
Taraneh
