Molecular Biology

Molecular biology is the study of molecules that make up living cells, their structure and function. It is a relatively new field, only emerging in the early 20th century. Molecular biology combines the fields of biology and chemistry, and uses powerful techniques from physics and mathematics.

Molecular biologists use a variety of techniques to study molecules, including X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, and DNA sequencing. They use these techniques to understand the structure and function of molecules, and to design new drugs and therapies.

Molecular biology is a rapidly growing field, and is making important contributions to our understanding of human health and disease..
