Molecular Biotechnology

Molecular Biotechnology comprises a wide range of research areas from basic research to application oriented topics on the function of biomolecules, like e.g. proteins and nucleic acids, as well as other molecules present in biological systems. Starting from analytical detection of biomolecules in biological samples to functional characterization of biomolecules, the field of Molecular Biotechnology is particular interest in the production of biomolecules and the use of cells for drug research, biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, and for the use in diagnostic methods and technical applications. For this, methods in Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology and Cell Biology (Synthetic Biology), and Biophysical Chemistry are used.
