Course description

Cell and Molecular Biology is the study of cells, their structure, function, and the molecular mechanisms that drive life processes. It explores how DNA, RNA, proteins, and other biomolecules regulate cell activities, including growth, division, and communication.

This field combines genetics, biochemistry, and biotechnology to understand fundamental biological functions, disease mechanisms, and applications in medicine and research. Cell and molecular biology play a crucial role in advancements like gene therapy, drug development, and biotechnology, shaping modern scientific and medical discoveries.
