Cellular and Molecular Biology
This is an interdisciplinary field that studies the structure, function, intracellular pathways, and formation of cells. Studies involve understanding life and cellular processes specifically at the molecular level.
Subcategories:
Other
Cell Physiology (PHY): The study of the cell cycle, cell function, and interactions between cells or between cells and their environment.
Cellular Immunology (IMM): The study of the structure and function of the immune system at the cellular level. This includes investigations of innate and acquired (adaptive) immunity, the cellular communication pathways involved in immunity, cellular recognition and interactions between antigens and antibodies.
Genetics (GEN): The study of molecular genetics focusing on the structure and function of genes at a molecular level.
Molecular Biology (MOL): The study of biology at the molecular level. Chiefly concerns itself with understanding the interactions between the various systems of a cell, including the interrelationships of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis and learning how these interactions are regulated, such as during transcription and translation, the significance of introns and exons or coding issues.
Neurobiology (NEU): The study of the structure and function of the nervous system at the cellular or molecular level.
OTH Other (OTH): Studies that cannot be assigned to one of the above subcategories.
