Molecular Biology
Healthcare and Medical
A branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and interactions of biological molecules, particularly DNA, RNA, and proteins, and the molecular mechanisms underlying processes like gene expression and replication. Researchers use techniques such as PCR, gel electrophoresis, cloning, and CRISPR gene editing to investigate cellular processes and disease mechanisms. It underpins fields like genetic engineering, biotechnology, and modern medicine, including drug development and diagnostics.
