Molecular Biology, Concentration

Molecular biology is an interdisciplinary science incorporating the study of cell biology, genetics and biochemistry. The field relies on fundamental tenets of recombinant DNA technology that allow genes to be isolated, characterized and expressed in organisms that may be completely unrelated. The concentration in molecular biology is designed to provide the essential background knowledge and hands-on experience required to master this rapidly advancing discipline.
