Cellular and Molecular Pathology Graduate Program
University of Wisconsin-Madison, School of Medicine and Public Health
I want to warmly welcome all prospective applicants to the Cellular and Molecular Pathology (CMP) Graduate Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
We are proud of our rich history and tradition in translational research and education, which are part of the strong foundation of the University of Wisconsin’s world-renowned training tradition.
Since establishing the Cellular and Molecular Pathology Graduate Training program, its faculty had pursued research focusing on the pathogenesis of human diseases. The Department of Pathology serves as a core part of our program, integrating faculty and trainers from several departments on campus into a unified training program in Cellular and Molecular Pathology.
Our faculty includes over a hundred National Institutes of Health/National Science Foundation-funded investigators focusing on research programs in Immunopathology (Infectious Diseases, Host-Parasite Interactions, SIV, HIV, Mycobacterium, Transplantation Rejection and Mechanisms of Inflammation), Cancer Pathology (Cell Signaling, Growth Factors and Cytokines, Extracellular Matrix, and Signal Transduction Cascades), Neuropathology (Neuroimmunology, Multiple Sclerosis, Astrocyte and Glial Function, and Alzheimer’s Disease) and Molecular Medicine (Gene Therapy, Gene Expression). Our program is designed to meet the challenges of state-of-the-art investigative and translational cellular and molecular pathology research by preparing trainees for an independent and successful career in scientific research, education, and beyond.
Our program is committed to your success. Generally, graduate research training extends over five years for PhD candidates. Our alums are recruited for post-doctoral fellowships at prestigious research universities, into biotech companies, leadership positions at government agencies, teaching positions, and different science-related career paths. Our program expects to provide all its graduate students with complete and competitive financial support throughout their training, either from individual grants, departmental assistantships, or training grants. The world-renowned faculty, state-of-the-art research facilities, and commitment to graduate education and personal success make the Cellular and Molecular Pathology Graduate Program at UW-Madison unique.
I invite all prospective applicants to consider our graduate study program seriously. Our mission is to produce outstanding scientists who are prepared for future challenges. As a Cellular and Molecular Pathology Graduate Program student, you will become part of our tradition and join a diverse and accomplished group of graduates.
We appreciate your interest in the Cellular and Molecular Pathology Graduate Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and School of Medicine and Public Health.
