Welcome
The Endocrinology-Reproductive Physiology Program at the University of Wisconsin is a broad base, interdepartmental degree-granting program designed to provide training at the predoctoral and postdoctoral level in interdisciplinary research at the forefront of reproductive physiology and health. The Program offers training at both MS and Ph.D. levels and our graduates typically pursue careers in the broad field of endocrinology and reproductive physiology (basic, clinical and technical).
The Endocrinology-Reproductive Physiology Program has 30 participating faculty from 14 departments. The multidisciplinary research and the diverse interests of the faculty make possible many approaches to the study of endocrinology and reproduction, providing the individual student with a wide selection for his/her research training experience. Flexibility of training options is a key feature of this program.
In 2009 we will be celebrating 50 years of graduate training. To mark this milestone we will be inviting a number of our alumni back to campus to give a presentation at our weekly seminar program. This academic year (2007/2008) seven alumni have accepted our invitation to speak. A full list of alumni speakers is available on our alumni page. In addition to alumni speakers, we will be sending out an alumni newsletter and periodic surveys to get your feedback. We value your contributions and look forward to hearing from you. Most importantly, we would like to hear your stories and remembrances of your time in the ERP Program.
I hope you find our web site helpful. If you have any other questions, please contact our Program Coordinator, at tabachmann@wisc.edu or call 608-287-2322.
