The Molecular Cell Biology Podcast

Created by Dr. German Rosas-Acosta, a professor and Director of the Optical Spectroscopy & Microscopy Laboratory at the University of Texas at El Paso, The Molecular Cell Biology Podcast originated as a companion to his university course. The show explores how cells work at the molecular level — the structures, processes, and mechanisms that build tissues, organs, and entire biological systems. The format is mostly solo narration, with Rosas-Acosta walking through cell biology concepts in a clear, methodical style. Occasional episodes feature guest hosts, including students who bring their own perspectives. The content covers fundamentals like protein folding, DNA replication, and cell signaling, making it particularly useful as supplementary learning material for anyone studying biology. Full transparency: this is a very small podcast. The catalog contains only about 5 episodes spanning from August 2020 to October 2021, and the show has just 10 ratings on Apple (4.6 stars). It does not appear to be actively producing new content. The episodes that exist range from a brief 10-minute introduction to longer segments of about 50 minutes. Think of it less as a traditional podcast and more as a set of recorded lectures from a knowledgeable professor. For students taking molecular cell biology or anyone who wants a structured walkthrough of cellular mechanics from someone who teaches it professionally, the existing episodes have real value. Just set your expectations for a small, course-oriented production rather than a polished weekly show.
