Human Molecular Genetics

Human molecular genetics studies the structure and function of our DNA—the genetic instructions in our cells. It explores how genes are inherited, how they influence our traits, and how variations or mutations can lead to diseases. By understanding the molecular mechanisms behind genes and their interactions, scientists can develop targeted therapies, improve diagnosis, and advance personalized medicine. This field combines biology, chemistry, and genetics to uncover the fundamental processes that shape human health and heredity at the molecular level.
