One challenge for those involved in the life science research, especially bio-physiologicalresearch is the emerging evolution of molecular technology. Advances in genetics andaccumulated information in the genomics have made molecular technology and its application inlife science the fastest growing tools in this millennium. Many Researchers in the developedcountries are very much at home with this advancement and have taken advantage to developtheir research interest and contribute more meaningful to their community. This technology isstill new and just emerging in the developing countries. However, in recent years moleculartechnology tools is fast becoming popular in life science research in the developing world,especially in the field of agriculture, biology, biochemistry, medical science etc. Biotechnologytools are widely available and currently in use as research tools in most developed countries. Thepotentiality of its application in the developing countries, especially Africa has formed themotivation for seeking foreign fellowship on one hand and even returning home after thefellowship on the other hand by many young researchers. Organizing a scientific conference withfocus or emphasis in this evolving area will give opportunity to researchers to take stock of howmuch has been acquired during the period of stay in the developed countries (especiallyGermany) 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 wasdesigned to stimulate collaboration and research interest in the emerging and revolutionary fieldof molecular biology among Humboldtians and other young researchers in Nigeria. The requestfrom the participants and desire to preserve the high quality of papers and amazing scientificinformation presented during this conference motivated the publication of this book. Thegenerosity of Humboldt Foundation to solely support both the conference and publication of thisbook, made possible the realization of our dream.
