Molecular Biology and Genetics delve into organisms at a cellular and molecular level, exploring the fundamental properties, structures, and functions of life's building blocks. This interdisciplinary field investigates molecular interactions, cellular responses, and their implications. The curriculum encompasses courses in biological, chemical, and physical principles relevant to molecular and cellular structures and functions.
Subjects such as physics, mathematics, chemistry, plant physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, genetics, human genetics, microbial genetics, plant molecular biology, proteomics, genomics, bioinformatics, and ecology are covered, supplemented by both interdepartmental and departmental courses. Students are provided with ample research opportunities spanning molecular biology, genetics, biotechnology, and biochemistry.
The program aims to equip students for careers in research and teaching at universities, as well as various roles in biotechnology, food and drug industries, agriculture, forestry, and healthcare.
