About Molecular Biology

The study of molecular biology, which includes biomolecular production, modification, processes, and interactions, aims to comprehend the molecular underpinnings of biological activity inside and between cells. Molecular biology is the study of the chemical and physical makeup of biological macromolecules. Over the next ten years, the field of molecular biology is expected to have demand growth of up to 19%, which is much greater than average when compared to other sectors. Therefore, choosing molecular biology as your field of study might be a sensible career choice because you won't likely have trouble obtaining employment when you graduate.


Why is Molecular Biology important?

In order to effectively target novel treatments, identify diseases, and comprehend cell physiology, molecular biology plays a crucial part in our knowledge of the structures, activities, and internal mechanisms that govern each individual cell.

The use of molecular biology techniques is frequently used for applications such as disease prevention and treatment, the creation of novel protein products, and the modification of plants and animals to produce desired phenotypic features.


Who should take the Molecular Biology Exam?

  • Those who are at graduation level in the field of biology, molecular biology, and Biotechnology.
