Solving structures reveal the ‘high-wire act’ of bacterial replication
Collaboration between Morgridge and UW reveals ‘high-wire act’ of bacterial replication.
Unlocking new strategies to disarm tuberculosis
A new study tests the power of machine learning-driven drug discovery to fight against the world’s oldest infectious disease, tuberculosis.
Wisconsin Researchers Map Bacterial DNA Repair Restart, Revealing New Antibiotic Targets
A Morgrdige Institute and UW–Madison collaboration published cryo-electron microscopy structures of the complete bacterial DNA replication restart complex — a molecular machine that lets bacteria survive antibiotic attack — and found an unexpected architectural link to the protein that fires up replication from scratch, a discovery that hands drug designers the first atomic-resolution blueprint for disabling a key bacterial survival mechanism.
Congratulations to our 2026 graduates
More than 20 members of the Morgridge Institute community graduated with degrees from University of Wisconsin–Madison this year. A few reflect on their time at Morgridge and shout out their mentors. We wish all the 2026 grads the best of luck on their journeys ahead!
