Molecular biology is one of the most exciting and rapidly advancing areas of biology.
Today, molecular biologists are actively involved in solving a variety of problems - from the human genome project and the treatment of genetic disease to forensic analysis and the study of DNA of endangered animals and extinct species. Molecular biology has also spawned the biotechnology industry through which new pharmaceuticals and many other exciting products are being generated. Molecular biology promises a bright and rewarding future. Otterbein's molecular biology program prepares you with the classroom, laboratory, and research experiences needed for success in this dynamic field. Our program is carried out in the context of the liberal arts and in close association with practicing scientists.
