Hello. I am applying for a PhD program of my dream and my letter of motivation had better be impeccable. Could you, please, criticize it and suggest how could I improve it? I will be glad if somebody would show my mistakes in the letter. It must be up to 2000 characters with spaces. It has not to contain information about my research experience: only scientific interest.
Letter:
Regenerative medicine caught my particular attention when I was studying at the University. In that time I was interested in gerontology and anti-aging therapies. Among various developing methods of resisting age-related diseases, regenerative technologies seemed to me the most perspective for achieving this goal since they can renew human body, not simply conserve it. While I was studying scientific articles and reviews on the regenerative medicine iPSCs most of all attracted my attention. It was due to my long-term interest in cell biology, but what's more the possibility to reprogram cells impressed me. It opens a vast space for a great variety of experiments. iPSCs are used for a wide specter of tasks, not only for therapy, but also for disease modeling and for drugs development. Though numerous things are still to be revealed. That is why I intend to study iPSCs in my future scientific work.
I apply for NNN PhD program as it perfectly meets my expectations. Several years ago I was already dreaming to work in a laboratory cluster concentrated on studies in the field of regenerative medicine. This program attracts me by its rich content allowing to expand knowledge and improve practical skills. Another important point for me is that NNN unites diverse research groups. So I will be able to communicate with different researchers, learn what problems they are solving and what they have discovered thereby extending my own understanding of situation. I believe that dialogue between various research fields is essential for the overall progress.
My intention is to perform studies towards Ph.D. degree and afterwards to continue scientific researches at a postdoc position.
