Molecular biology

Understanding the structure and function of genes and the proteins they encode.

Molecular biologists study organisms at the molecular level particularly in terms of the structure and function of genes, proteins and other cellular features, with the goal of understanding the variations and relationships between them. These discoveries are often applied to agriculture or the generation of pharmaceuticals and drugs.

applications in cellular agriculture:

Expertise in this field goes hand in hand with bioinformatics, biotechnology and genomics. These are all required to better understand how genes and proteins can be harnessed to develop optimum products.
