The Molecular Biophysics Training Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison includes trainees and students and faculty from the Graduate Program in Biophysics along with Molecular Biophysics trainees from other participating graduate programs. The Training Program sponsors a weekly student seminar attended by trainees and interested postocs and faculty, formal seminars by invited guest speakers, symposia, and workshops. The students themselves organize a regular Biophysics discussion group. Informal student-faculty "get-togethers" serve as a forum where more senior students present their research results for discussion and where students and faculty exchange information on issues such as stages in career development and ethical conduct of science. Graduate training in Molecular Biophysics is funded in part by a grant from the NIH, which provides financial support for about 10 students on a competitive basis (trainees must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents).
Students in the Molecular Biophysics Training Program have access to a training faculty with wide ranging research interests (listed below) and to excellent instrumentation and facilities.
Students interested in the graduate training in Molecular Biophysics must first gain admission to a graduate program either in Biophysics or in one of the participating departments (Biochemistry, Bimolecular Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physiology, or Zoology). Applicants should identify and apply to the graduate program with faculty and course requirements that most closely fit their interests.
