In this post, we delve into the molecular biology degree programs offered by some leading universities in Sri Lanka: the University of Colombo, the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, the University of Peradeniya, and the University of Kelaniya.
The University of Colombo offers two distinct degrees:
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.
The University of Kelaniya offers Molecular Biology and Plant Biotechnology.
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.
