Abstract

Molecular biology is gaining increasing relevance in the field of veterinary medicine. There are many subjects in basic sciences, medicine, and veterinary clinics where the knowledge of this discipline is applied; therefore, subjects such as molecular biology or related knowledge such as genomics or biotechnology must be involved in the curriculum of veterinary medicine students; “if the schools of this profession want to capitalize on the opportunities that are emerging in this field and direct its development towards a profession with the knowledge that allows providing solutions to the social problems that currently affect a society globally”. In this review, we address the origins of veterinary education, the birth, and progress of molecular biology, as well as the technological tools that have been generated from this discipline, the social and economic impact it has generated, and we also discuss its insertion in the training of the current veterinarian.
