Microbiology Training Program
Among the graduate programs offered at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison is microbiology.
The departmental PhD programs of bacteriology in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and of medical microbiology and immunology in the medical school have been unified into an integrated Microbiology Doctoral Training Program, including all faculty and trainers previously affiliated with either or both departments.
Growing out of long-standing common interests in research and education, this merger has proceeded rapidly from cooperative graduate recruiting efforts through an open rotation system to the present merged PhD program. The doctoral program offers applicants an unparalleled opportunity for graduate training in microbiology.
The Microbiology Doctoral Training Program offers PhD degrees for studies dealing with the genetics, biochemistry, physiology, cell biology and pathogenesis of prokaryotic and lower eukaryotic microorganisms.
Current research emphasizes fundamental aspects of gene expression and regulation, microbial physiology, and structural analysis of proteins and nucleic acids. Work in these areas may be purely fundamental, with the goal of understanding one of these areas in greater detail, or may be directed basic research to provide both insight and practical use of new information.
