Can someone check this expression please?

Question

Hi all,I don't feel comfortable with these two sentences. Could you please check them for me? Thanks a lot!Due to limited time frame, I was not able to go further into the functional mechanisms of the examined proteins during my master’s projects. This has long been a regret to me.

Hi,
Welcome to the Forum.

'Due to a limited time frame' is an awkward phrase.
I suggest this, as simpler and more direct.
I did not have time to go further into the functional mechanisms of the examined proteins during my master’s projects. This has long been a regret to me.

Best wishes, Clive

I agree.  Due to limited time is much better.  When you write English, keep it simple.  This is the best advice if you want people to understand it.
