Molecular Genetics and Gene Therapy

Molecular Genetics and Gene Therapy  is a rapidly advancing field that explores the genetic basis of diseases and develops innovative treatments by directly modifying genes. This area of research holds the potential to cure genetic disorders, improve disease resistance, and enhance overall health through precise genetic interventions. Understanding the organization and function of genes at the molecular level, including the roles of exons, introns, and regulatory elements. Investigating various types of genetic mutations (e.g., point mutations, deletions, insertions) and their effects on gene function and disease. Exploring changes in gene expression that occur without alterations in the DNA sequence, such as DNA methylation and histone modification. Studying patterns of inheritance, including Mendelian and non-Mendelian genetics, to understand how traits and diseases are passed from one generation to the next.
