Need a correction, please

Hi !!is any one could help me with this.
Correct any mistake in my statement of purpose.  
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to work with a professor who is widely-knowledgeable in the area to assist me in my academic pursuit. I plan to do a research on ‘Plant biotechnology and plant regeneration’.

I was introduced to mathematics, as well as natural and physical sciences, at an early age, and it was in high school that I considered a career in this area. The desire to study the natural sciences prompted me to take a bachelor degree in general biology. My previous research in master’s degree was regeneration and sub culturing the medical plants in vitro and vivo. This interest is the primary reason I really enthusiastically wish to apply for Ph. D. at University of British of Columbia.

I am hoping that the laboratory techniques, computer skills , quantitative and statistical expertise I have gained in the past years, with my sincere devotion to my academic career, albeit the complexity of the program I desire, will help me to become a better doctorate student in my desired field. With all due respect, I would gladly welcome an opportunity to become a part of this university, and/or to have an interview with the professor, at his convenience, so I could share and elaborate more on my fields of expertise and knowledge. I am looking forward to hearing from the professor.

Thank you for the consideration and attention.
