Can someone please edit my cover letter? Its very important for me !!! Thanks a lot!!

My fascination with science dates back to my years in high school when I was attending an extended curriculum course in physics, chemistry and biology. After completing my secondary education, I was certain that I wanted to continue my studies in this direction and, I undertook an MSc course in Biology at the xxx. I believe that nature still holds numerous exciting undiscovered phenomena of beneficial use to humanity and environment, all waiting to be explored, and I would like to be part of the next discovery. Therefore, I wish to pursue a higher degree in science by research.[/FONT]

As you can see from my resume I am working as inspector in Poland. Work in Plant Health and Seed taught me good organization of work, the skill of priorities’ establishment and independence in solving problems. I have also developed interpersonal skills.

This PhD project caught my special attention because I am convinced that subsequent work on role of p75 low affinity neurotrophin receptor in NGF mediated pain conditions help better understand pain mechanisms and will shed light on a novel way treating chronic pain.

The topic of my MSc thesis was “Lectins profile of salivary proteins - age related comparison” which I [] performed in the Glycoconjugate Biochemistry Department of the xxxx. The aim of my research was to assess the difference in glycosylation pattern of SC and H chains of SIgA from the saliva of young healthy females, with and without hormone therapy; females (20-25 years old) with an allergy; and [] healthy older (60-65) postmenopausal females. I presented the results of my research in “The XX International Symposium of Polish Network of Molecular and Cellular Biology“ (poster: SIgA glycosylation profile - age related comparison). During this project I became acquainted with different analytical techniques, such as gel electrophoresis, lectin blotting, affinity chromatography and spectrophotometry. Moreover, during my studies I have taken several laboratory courses, in which I have worked with PCR, cell cultures and microscopy.
