The Biophysics Ph.D. program at the University of Wisconsin–Madison offers outstanding inter-disciplinary training across a broad cross-section of quantitative biosciences. Our groups are primarily interested in:
- understanding biological systems in physical, mechanistic or quantitative terms
- investigating structure-function relationship at the molecular, cellular or supracellular level
- integrate experimental and computational methods to solve challenging biological phenomena and develop technology
To achieve these goals, our flexible coursework and research labs provide training in a variety of experimental and computational methods, including:
- Advanced spectroscopy
- Structural methods (Cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, NMR)
- Single molecule methods
- Simulation and modeling of macromolecular systems, cellular dynamics, tissues and cellular communities
- Proteomics and other high-throughput methods and analysis
- Development and design of biomedical technology
