Molecular biology is the branch of biology that deals with the molecular basis of biological activity. The field of molecular biology studies the biological macromolecules and the macromolecular mechanisms found in living things, such as the molecular nature of the gene and its mechanisms of gene replication and expression. 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.
Most of current topics in biological research are involved in molecular biology, resulting in the fast improvement especially after latest advanced technology. Molecular biology is closely related to other biological sciences such as Genetics, Cell biology, Neuroscience and Developmental biology. Its basic principles and techniques are essential for understanding such area of study.

This course emphasizes on understanding of cellular processes involved in the organization and expression of genetics information including systematic introduction to chromosome structure, DNA replication, DNA transposition, genetic code-deciphering, protein synthesis and transport, principle of gene expression and regulation, cancer and oncogene activation, molecular mechanism of HIV, and other basic concepts in molecular biology.
Biological / Biomedical Science
生物，又称为生命科学，是自然科学的一大门类，是系统地阐述与自然生命特性有关的重大课题的科学，支配着无生命世界的物理和化学定律同样也适用于生命世界，无须赋予生活物质一种神秘的活力。生命科学由经验主义出发，广泛研究生命的所有方面，包括生命起源、演化、分布、构造、发育、功能、行为、与环境的互动关系，以及生物分类学等。
