Cellular and Molecular Biology Graduate Program

Among the graduate programs offered at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison is cellular and molecular biology.

In addition to having one of the largest and best biology facilities in the world, the University of Wisconsin-Madison is noted for its cooperation and collaboration across departmental boundaries.

The cellular and molecular biology graduate program is an important part of that interdepartmental strength, providing students the opportunity to work with more than 120 faculty in 28 different departments.

Its large size has not made the program impersonal, however, primarily because graduate students are represented on all its standing committees, and play an active role in academic affairs and program development. The result is a flexible set of degree requirements that provide students and their research committees the liberty to design the most appropriate curriculum.

The program also provides a focus for a number of research areas that are particularly strong at Madison. The interactions of many research groups within these areas offer further coherence to the program.
