Cellular & Molecular Medicine: Open access

Medical biotechnology aims to produce pharmaceutical and diagnostic products for the prevention and treatment of human diseases using living cells and cell materials. The areas of application of medicinal biotechnology are genetic testing, drug production, gene therapy and pharmacogenomics. Medical biology careers span the spectrum of medical sciences. Since the education discipline itself is broad in scope, the available career options are similarly vast. Industries that employ graduates of medical biology programs include biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, healthcare and medical research.
