I do not have much knowledge about the scope of this field in USA but I'm sure there is a lot of scope in this subject there as well.

Hi,
I suggest you study what interests you. While the degrees do have an extensive overlap they also have differences. Molecular Biology tends to lean toward genetics, Biochemistry is often very chemistry and bio-organic molecules based and Cell Biology degrees tend to have many biomedicine modules (this is how it seems to me after researching 91 universities). However, there are also many degrees where the different disciplines have an almost equal representation. If you want to study all of those areas then you might want to look at courses named Molecular Cell Biology, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Biochemistry & Molecular Cell Biology, etc. A biochemistry degree opens doors to a vast array of employment areas: academic/clinical/biomedical research, industrial research and development, lab work, biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry, clinical and health sciences (such as the option of going into medicine), nutrition and food sciences and food industry, bioengineering, chemical sciences, forensic Science, teaching, bioinformatics, etc. Now choice is yours. Hope this information will help you to decide for choosing the subject.
Thanks!
