Profession
Specialist in Molecular Biology
Molecular techniques for accurate diagnosis
A molecular biology specialist works with DNA, RNA, and proteins to understand how living things function and to detect disease. In a lab you run tests such as PCR and genetic sequencing, prepare samples, follow strict protocols, interpret results, and record everything carefully. Depending on the setting, your findings might support patient diagnosis, new medicines, agricultural research, or basic scientific discovery. You work with scientists, physicians, technicians, and quality teams, and you often present your data in meetings and reports.
