威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的细胞和分子生物学研究生课程是一项以研究为导向的跨学科计划，可获博士学位。学位。学生不能进入硕士学位课程。该大学拥有世界上最大，最负盛名的生物学设施之一，以跨部门合作与协作而闻名。细胞与分子生物学计划（CMB）是跨部门实力的重要组成部分，为学生提供了与40个系中的190多名教职员工合作的机会。该计划的主要优势在于，它为研究人员群体提供了就共同感兴趣的研究课题开展合作的机会。被确定为焦点小组的研究主题领域由研究共同研究领域的教职员工组成。每个小组都是由学生和教师共同参加定期的研究报告，
The graduate program in Cellular and Molecular Biology (CMB) has been a pioneer in graduate education fields of cell biology and molecular biology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison since 1961. The program is research-oriented and interdisciplinary leading to the PhD degree. UW–Madison has one of the largest and most prestigious biology facilities in the world, well-noted for its cooperation and collaboration across department boundaries. Cellular and Molecular Biology (CMB) is an important part of that interdepartmental strength, providing students with the opportunity to work with more than 200 faculty members in 40 departments.<br><br>Research and coursework experience allow students to obtain a solid foundation in cell biology and molecular biology that is tailored to their professional objectives. Research focus groups are composed of students and faculty studying a common research area. The focus groups are: cancer biology, cell adhesion and cytoskeleton, cellular and molecular metabolism, developmental biology and regenerative medicine, immunology, membrane biology and protein trafficking, molecular and genome biology of microbes, physiology, plant biology, RNA biology, systems biology, transcriptional mechanisms, and virology.
