Videos of youths talking about their careers, talents, social life and fashion are being featured on The Zone at www.timesofmalta.com/thezone.

Tomorrow a new interview will be uploaded on Thérèse Hunter and Rosalin Bonetta, a senior lecturer and a PhD student respectively at the University’s Department of Physiology and Biochemistry.

One of the subjects being studied at the department is molecular cloning. Although the word cloning has always been a sensitive one, where people immediately imagine the cloned sheep Dolly, the methodology is as important as the research for the cure of many diseases.

Watch this interview with Dr Hunter and Ms Bonetta to learn more about why they study molecular cloning, its applicability in their research and its importance to science in general.
