Best Colleges in Molecular Biology Program

This page introduces the top colleges in Molecular Biology program. Harvard University is ranked first in Molecular Biology program ranking and University of California-Berkeley is placed in second. Next describes the Molecular Biology program in general.

Molecular biology is the branch of biology that deals with the molecular basis of biological activity. This field overlaps with other areas of biology and chemistry, particularly genetics and biochemistry. Molecular biology chiefly concerns itself with understanding the interactions between the various systems of a cell, including the interactions between the different types of DNA, RNA and protein biosynthesis as well as learning how these interactions are regulated.(read more at wiki)
