Thank you for your interest in my lab. We are members of the XXX graduate group. Decision of admission is made by the committee, not by the individual labs.
There seems to be good match between your current research and the focus of our lab. I suggest you have a look at the XXX program and consider applying for the PhD program. I cc XXX who is the coordinator for XXX and can answer your questions as well..
