The field of molecular biology is centered on the study of biomolecules such as DNA, RNA and protein and their function in biological systems. This field bridges the area between biochemistry and genetics. Typically the research focus is interdisciplinary, focusing on fundamental properties from the study of gene structure, regulation of gene activity, to the behavior of genes in disease or the biotechnical applications of recombinant DNA technology to better our lives and society. Typically students who receive an option in molecular biology are prepared for entry-level jobs in industry, university research, or medical schools. Moreover, the curriculum provides students with solid academic training to seek entry into graduate programs as well.
