In this video, we delve into the molecular biology degree programs offered by some leading universities in Sri Lanka: University of Colombo, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, University of Peradeniya, and University of Kelaniya.
The University of Colombo offers two distinct degrees: Molecular Biology and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. The University of Sri Jayewardenepura offers a degree in Genetics and Molecular Biology. The University of Peradeniya provides a degree in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, while the University of Kelaniya offers Molecular Biology and Plant Biotechnology. We will explore each program's curriculum, research opportunities, facilities, and admission requirements.
Molecular biology offers numerous opportunities in biotechnology, such as breeding and improving new plant crop varieties, and in molecular medicine, including drug delivery, therapeutic cancer treatment, and drug discovery. Doctors prescribe medications, but the drugs are developed by chemists and now increasingly by molecular biologists. For example, molecular biologists discovered the COVID-19 vaccine. Many research campuses in the USA seek young, talented molecular biologists, presenting ample opportunities to work internationally. Whether you are passionate about genetics, biotechnology, or biomedical research, this video will help you find the right path to achieve your academic and career goals.
