At the Morgridge Institute for Research, we believe that science doesn’t thrive by asking safe questions. We believe that science moves forward and opens new doors in human health when we push toward the boundaries. We believe in Fearless Science.
Our researchers press into new frontiers of biology and medicine, and every member of our community – whether they work in a lab or not – contributes to this effort. This doesn’t happen by accident. At Morgridge, we work toward an environment where everyone can thrive:
The Morgridge Institute supports its investigators in a way that helps them be pioneering and innovative – what we call Fearless Science. And we measure and reward what really matters: Work that advances our understanding of human biology.
The Morgridge Institute is committed to fostering growth of “whole scientists,” with scientific training that prepares them as science leaders. And, because of our close affiliation with UW–Madison, the institute is committed to enhancing the research and educational mission of the university.
The Morgridge Institute for Research is a private, nonprofit research institute dedicated to improving human health through interdisciplinary biomedical research, in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison. See all job openings >
