Since the development of recombinant DNA technology, a new and exciting field of biotechnology has emerged, and the need for specialists in this area has increased nationally. The new biotechnology applies molecular and cell biology to the detection and treatment of human disease and is now a major division of pharmaceutical and research laboratories. 

Quinnipiac’s core curriculum provides comprehensive training in advanced biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology and laboratory methods. Electives cover industrial microbiology, virology, immunology, oncology and molecular pathology. A thesis option allows students to conduct original laboratory research either on campus or in an industrial or hospital setting.
