Purpose of class
The purpose of research in molecular and cellular biology is to clarify the functions and interactions of the molecules that make up cells—such as DNA, RNA, and proteins—and to understand the mechanisms of life phenomena at the molecular and cellular levels. Through this approach, it aims to elucidate the mechanisms of development, differentiation, aging, and disease, and to contribute to applications in medicine, drug discovery, and biotechnology.
