Organizational Overview

The MHD Training Program depends on the support of several organizations at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In addition to sponsoring the MHD Training Program, the Microbial Pathogenesis and Host Responses Group (MPHRG) organizes the meetings, seminars, and activities in which MHD trainees participate. The highly regarded Microbiology Doctoral Training Program (MDTP) provides most of the predoctoral students considered for support by this program. The departments of Bacteriology and Medical Microbiology and Immunology jointly administrate MDTP, although it draws trainers from across campus. Nearly all the MHD trainers are trainers in MDTP as well. MHD trainers and affiliates are drawn from ten departments:

in four colleges of UW-Madison:

Post-doctoral MD fellows will come from the Infectious Disease section in Medicine (Pediatrics is presently developing an Infectious Disease fellowship, but will not provide candidates). PhD postdoctoral candidates will be proposed by the program’s 28 trainers. MPHRG and the Symbiosis Cluster co-sponsor regular seminars, invited speakers, and other activities for pre- and postdoc trainees & faculty interested in Microbes in Health and Disease. Many other enrichments are offered such as an MDTP student sponsored seminar series, and a seminar series and symposia sponsored by the Center for Infectious Disease, administratively housed in the MSB.

Some graduate students may be interested in the other UW Training Programs, distinct from the MHD Program, with which some of the MHD trainers are affiliated.
