Molecular biologists are scientists who study the structure, function, and interactions of biological molecules, particularly nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA) and proteins. Their work often focuses on understanding how these molecules contribute to the processes of life at a cellular and molecular level. Key areas of research for molecular biologists include: 1. **Gene Expression**: Investigating how genes are turned on or off and how this regulation affects cell function and development.
