According to Ashutosh Dash, B.Sc. Bioinformatics, Buxi Jagabandhu Bidyadhar College, Bhubaneshwar and other experts, the hottest research topics in the field of molecular biology are the following:

• Gene therapy.
• RNA interference (RNAi).
• Genome editing.
• Drug delivery.
• DNA synthesis and sequence.
• Stem cell research.
• Maturation of sperm cells.
• Genetic engineering.
• Monoclonal antibodies.
• Cancer cell research.
• Primary cells and transfected cell lines
• Cytokines & Growth Factors.
• Cellular processes with growth to achieve the appropriate size.
• Predictive models for cancer cell line-specific dependency

CSISPR !

CRISPR !

I agree ,CRISPR is definitely one of the hottest research topics in Mol Bio.

Optogenetics (using light to control cells) is also very interesting and might just be the next big thing.

I would like to suggest epigenetics which has effects on all organisms and also due to the damage humans are doing to our chromosomes/genes it is likely that we are dooming our children and grandchildren (and .....) to chronic disease states (and susceptibility).

Identification of novel miRNAs through Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), in respect to therapeutic and diagnosis purpose of diseases.

- Gene therapy. - Stem cells. - Treatment of cancer by stimulating the immune system.
