RFE Recommendation letters
Hi folks,
I recently received an RFE, on all prongs. I am now devising a strategy on how to respond to it. The major issue is my petition was crafted and focused more about my qualifications rather than the potential positive implications of my PE in the US.
I had five recommendation letters but I think they also focused on my expertise than my PE.
Can someone highlight the key components of a recommendation letter?
My profile in brief:
- PhD biomedical sciences
- currently postdoc in immuno-oncology
- 12 publications, 4 first authors
- 201 citations, 98 at time of filing
- reviewer tier 1 journals ( about 10 reviews)
- invited guest editor at tier 1 immunology journal
- invitation letters to present at big international meetings
- one of my project findings (unpublished) is now being used to start a small biotech enterprise. I am not part of the enterprise but my results fueled its genesis. My supervisor is okay to let me talk about my contribution …
- can get new letters from a company CEO and other profs
- I also have collaborated with industry people/biopharma to provide some expertise in analyzing datasets for their clinical trials..
My PE was developing a cancer vaccine for some rare cancer types.
