Molecular Biology and Biotechnology
English has become the established language of scientific communication since the end of the Second World War. The aim of this program is to conduct a wide range of interdisciplinary studies on molecular biology and biotechnology in agriculture from a global, long-term perspective. We put forward a new paradigm, which is specifically designed to activate the dialogue between students and scientists, working on frontier molecular biology and biotechnology, and to create a framework under which to assess the impact of agricultural concerns, and to suggest a sustainable path of global and local development.
