Today I will be talking about the career opportunities that you can have in Molecular Biology
Molecular biology is a study of science that deals predominantly with molecular basis of
biological activities, majorly. Molecular biology is a field that generally overlaps
itself with areas covering chemistry and biology, as well as genetics and biochemistry, in particular.
Molecular biology expects potential candidates to acquire a bachelors' degree in hand to
become an expert at molecular biology, specially, a molecular biologist. These biologists study
biochemical processes and mechanisms within living organisms, majorly of plants, animals
and people. Researchers of this field are expected to acquire an advanced degree as such.
The job description of molecular biologists
generally account those having expertise in this field and having more than required information
about the same, although it should be readily accessible. These biologists are expected
to experiment themselves and their knowledge wide across the research team and gain the
best of results in a quick span of time. The jobs vary from genetically producing new crops
and the testing and implementation of this new invention. Other biologists aim at developing
the validity of drugs to fight off diseases and stimulate safer methods of genetic growth.
These biologists are expected to excel in their work duties which include cloning kits,
working with advanced lab equipments, synthesizing DNA, temperature cycles and electron guns.
Job opportunities for molecular biologists exist in an array of industries such as private
industries, government labs, government agencies and universities.
Bachelor's degree in molecular biolgy serves a four year program covering the following
subjects: • Genetics
• Biology • Chemistry
• Physiology Master's degree in the same serves an addition
of two year's program to the previously mentioned bachelor's degree and has the following topics
of concern in the basket: • Stem cell research
• Advanced biochemistry • Multiple lab rotations
An array of companies that hire molecular biologists could be listed down across India.
To name a few are listed below: • Indian Vaccines Corporation
• Sun Pharmacy • Cadila
• Indo American Hybrid seeds • Thapar Group
• Hindustan Antibiotics • Hindustan Lever
The average salary of a biologist counts to 3 to 5lac per annum. Also, a post graduate
degree adds more amount to your salary expectations
