Knowledge exchange has high priority at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics. Whenever possible, the new results published by the researchers result in the development of new products and/or technologies.

Several of the new discoveries from the researchers and students at MBG have therefore been patented over the years, and they have been working with companies or formed their own company to develop these products, technologies or methodologies.

In addition, the department has over the years had several PhD students who have formed a bridge between the company and department in the form of an industrial PhD.

The department also sees it as an important task to provide information about the researchers findings to the general public in the form of popular descriptions of the results in the daily press.

In addition, an important group for the department's dissemination is upper secondary school students, and therefore we offers lectures, experiments in laboratories and help with final study projects for secondary school students in the last year.
