Доктор наук по Генетике

Graduate training in genetics emphasizes study and research leading to a Ph.D. degree in genetics. The goal of the genetics graduate training program is to train the next generation of professional geneticists. This includes selecting the most promising university graduates for admission to the program and training those students in the methods and logic of genetic analysis. Such analyses are increasingly important in contemporary biological and biomedical research.

The genetics graduate program is supported by the oldest and one of the largest NIH-funded genetics training grants in the country. The strength of genetics research at Wisconsin derives in large part from the Laboratory of Genetics. Still, state-of-the-art genetics research is conducted in many campus departments and centers. Training faculty of the genetics Ph.D. program includes over 80 trainers selected from 22 campus departments and schools based on their scholarly genetics research's strength. A key feature of the trainers is that they conduct genetic research using any number of tools and provide students with a solid foundation of genetic knowledge and experiences. The genetics research pursued on campus provides an exceptional community.

In the College of Letters & Science, we provide a liberal arts education that is both broad and deep through excellent, empathic teaching. We hire faculty who are interested in pursuing difficult questions, making discoveries, and making an impact in their field. We reward excellent teaching and classroom innovation, and we are committed to shared governance.

We nurture and support groundbreaking research across the spectrum of disciplines, encouraging faculty and graduate students to push boundaries and devise new pathways to knowledge. Our goal is to create a learning environment that is stimulating, joyful, and productive.
