One challenge for those involved in the life science research, especially bio-physiological research is the emerging evolution of molecular technology. Advances in genetics and accumulated information in the genomics have made molecular technology and its application in life science the fastest growing tools in this millennium. Many Researchers in the developed countries are very much at home with this advancement and have taken advantage to develop their research interest and contribute more meaningful to their community. This technology is still new and just emerging in the developing countries. However, in recent years molecular technology tools is fast becoming popular in life science research in the developing world, especially in the field of agriculture, biology, biochemistry, medical science etc. Biotechnology tools are widely available and currently in use as research tools in most developed countries. The potentiality of its application in the developing countries, especially Africa has formed the motivation for seeking foreign fellowship on one hand and even returning home after the fellowship on the other hand by many young researchers. Organizing a scientific conference with focus or emphasis in this evolving area will give opportunity to researchers to take stock of how much has been acquired during the period of stay in the developed countries (especially Germany) and how much is applicable to research environment in the home country (Nigeria). Three days scientific conference was organized to achieve this goal. The scientific meeting was designed to stimulate collaboration and research interest in the emerging and revolutionary field of molecular biology among Humboldtians and other young researchers in Nigeria. The request from the participants and desire to preserve the high quality of papers and amazing scientific information presented during this conference motivated the publication of this book. The generosity of Humboldt Foundation to solely support both the conference and publication of this book, made possible the realization of our dream. |
