Integrated Program in Biochemistry Graduate Program

Among the graduate programs offered at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison is the Integrated Program in Biochemistry.

The Integrated Program in Biochemistry (IPiB) represents a fusion of two graduate programs, those of the biochemistry and biomolecular chemistry departments. The biochemistry department graduate program, which has been ranked among the top 10 graduate programs in the biological sciences in the United States, has been further diversified by a merger with the biomolecular chemistry program.

The Integrated Program in Biochemistry provides research opportunities in 50 laboratories whose research spans the full range of contemporary topics in biochemical, chemical and molecular sciences. The UW campus has a strong tradition of interdisciplinary and interdepartmental graduate training programs. Interaction and collaboration with students, faculty, and staff of other programs and departments are widespread, which represents a key feature for broad training on the UW campus.

The PhD program in the Integrated Program in Biochemistry is designed to prepare students for successful careers in research, teaching and science communication. The program offers a wide range of opportunities for students to develop their skills in these areas of biochemical science.

Graduate training in the program stresses an attitude of inquiry and problem-solving, as well as the development of communication skills essential for research and teaching.
