    I am Zihan Chen, an undergraduate student from Dr. Chenhong Li’s Lab at Shanghai Ocean University. I will graduate in June, 2025. I would like to apply for the PhD program in your lab. During my undergraduate years, I was involved in research using environmental DNA technology to monitor endangered fish species and invasive bluegreen algae (for details please see the attached research statement). I have learned how to develop specific molecular markers and design primers. I also took part in experiment design, lab work, data analyses and manuscripts writing. In addition, as a student majoring in aquaculture, I learned the culture of Litopenaeus vannamei in a bioflocculation system in an internship. In the process of the internship and experiments, I found that changes of the environment would produce huge changes in the physiological response of aquatic animals and even lead to death, which aroused my great curiosity. I also notice that climate change have caused the collapse of some shellfish fishery. I really want to explore the physiological response when suffering environmental pressures and do something to enhance their stress resilience. In conclusion, I hope to devote myself into protecting these cute species and promote the development of aquaculture.
    I have browsed your lab website. The big family-like lab group, harmonious atmosphere and freedom of research are a desired place for any students that are looking forward to. I hope to pursue a PhD , and I believe your laboratory is the best place to do it.
    I also sent my CV and research statement to the email of Dr. Emmanuelle Pales-Espinosa. If there is additional information that you need, I would be happy to provide it to you.
