Bachelor of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology

The BSc in Cell and Molecular Biology (CAMB) program contributes to Khalifa University’s desire to become a center of excellence in science, engineering, and medicine within the region and beyond.  This is aligned with the UAE’s strategic plans, which aim to shift the reliance on the oil-based economy to a knowledge-based one by focusing on science, engineering, and health sciences.

The program aims to offer comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge of Cell and Molecular Biology to students interested in pursuing careers in life sciences or studying medicine (MD programs).  It also provides an excellent foundation for students who wish to pursue graduate studies, especially in our department’s MSc and PhD programs in Molecular Life Sciences.  The program will graduate critical thinkers who can use their scientific knowledge to solve problems in life sciences and to effectively communicate with various stakeholders.
