Could someone correct my motivation letter?

Hello,

I wrote a motivational letter in order to get an internship in the Oxford epilepsy research group. I would be really grateful if someone could correct the mistakes. Thank you !

"Dear Sir,

I am writing to you to express my interest for the research you do in epileptology. I am a master student in Biology in XXX University (France), and I aim to specialize in the field of neuroscience and more precisely in epileptology. As part of my course study, I have to do an internship from April 3rd to June 1st in a field that I find interesting and in which I would like to work in the future. Neuroscience is not only a domain in which I would like to work, it is a real passion for me and is an integral part of my life. In fact, I always try to keep in touch with neuroscience news by reading articles. Since adolescence I read articles and watch documentaries about neurobiology, psychology and cognitive science. The brain is an organ that really fascinates me and that I find beautiful by its complexity.

Your research team really heightened my curiosity and enthusiasm as it is unique by the diversity of aspects and angles it tries to understand epilepsy, that is why it would be a real enjoyment to be part of your team for a few months in order to learn more about this disorder.

This internship would be a great opportunity for me to increase my knowledge in neuroscience and to be directly in contact with professionals from this domain. Through this internship, I could also gain more experience by practicing the laboratory techniques I have acquired over the years. Indeed, during my three years studying biology, I have learned different techniques of biochemistry, cell biology, and microbiology that are mentioned in my CV. I also followed a module in which I had to resolve a scientific issue by establishing a protocol, applying it in the laboratory and analyzing the results. Thus, I learned to develop my autonomy, my organization skills, my reflection on a scientific issue and my capacity to work in a group throughout the project. I believe that this internship would provide me with the ideal opportunity to assist your team and to expand my research skills.

I hope I have succeeded to communicate you my motivation to be part of your team through this letter. Thank you so much for your consideration and I look forward to your acceptance of my application.

Yours faithfully,"
