Molecular Biology

Molecular Biology in the context of medical technology is a field that explores the fundamental biological processes occurring at the molecular level, particularly in relation to human health and disease. It involves the study of cellular components such as DNA, RNA, and proteins, and their interactions within living organisms. By understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying diseases, medical technologists can develop innovative diagnostic tools and therapies. This field encompasses various techniques, including DNA sequencing, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), gene expression analysis, and recombinant DNA technology. Molecular biology plays a crucial role in the identification of genetic disorders, the development of targeted treatments, and the advancement of personalized medicine, ultimately contributing to improved patient care and outcomes.
