Certificate in Molecular Biology

It is an online, proctored test featuring multiple-choice and scenario-based questions that reflect real-world molecular biology challenges.

The exam covers DNA structure and function; RNA biology; protein biosynthesis; gene regulation; molecular techniques (e.g., PCR, electrophoresis, blotting); genetic engineering (cloning, CRISPR); bioinformatics and data analysis; and laboratory safety and ethics.

No. A basic understanding of cell biology and genetics is enough to begin preparing, though hands-on lab work will help solidify your knowledge.

You can work as a Research Assistant, Laboratory Technician, Molecular Biologist, Clinical Research Coordinator, or Biotech Industry Specialist in academic, clinical, and industrial settings.

You must score at least 70% to earn the certification.

The certification remains valid for three years from the date you pass the exam.

Yes. You may retake the exam after a two-week waiting period.

Review the official course outline, standard molecular biology textbooks (e.g., Alberts’ Molecular Biology of the Cell), protocol guides for PCR and blotting, and bioinformatics tutorials for sequence alignment.

Most candidates study for 4–6 weeks, spending about 5–10 hours per week on theory review and practical exercises.

It demonstrates your mastery of core molecular biology concepts and methods, strengthening your credentials for roles in research, clinical labs, and biotech industries.
