Research at the cross-section between disciplines
The Biophysics Program at UW-Madison is a broad, interdisciplinary Ph.D. program that integrates quantitative approaches across the biosciences.
Our research is at the intersection between many biological disciplines, including Biochemistry, Chemistry, Physics, Bioengineering, Computational Biology, AI, Neuroscience, Cell biology, and so on.
Our students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and are interested in a collaborative environment and working at the interface between these disciplines.
