A Unique Text for a Rapidly Expanding Field

The only textbook of its kind on the market, Molecular Biotechnology provides a holistic, comprehensive view of molecular biotechnology that makes it ideally suited for undergraduate majors in molecular biotechnology and biomedical sciences. Beginning with the background of this rapidly expanding field,Molecular Biotechnology covers major discoveries, regulation of the biotechnology industry, and significant innovations. A strong emphasis on careers in molecular biotechnology, profiles of major projects and researchers, and expansive discussions of bioethical concerns and current research, all come together to make this text an engaging and highly relevant resource for biotechnology students.
The text’s focus on the emergence of biotechnology as both a scientific discipline and a viable industry, the regulations associated with the pursuit of biotechnology, and the major techniques and applications of this branch of science will establish Molecular Biotechnology as an essential text for students entering the field.

Full-color Animations and Lab Exercises are available on the companion website. Each new print copy of the text comes packaged with access to the companion website.
