Our Mission
Real-world research projects in undergraduate classes retain students in the sciences and enhance student learning while addressing the most pressing challenges of our century.
At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, each microbiology course incorporates a TAR (teaching as research) objective.
This innovative approach is facilitated by University of Wisconsin teaching faculty in collaboration with UW-Bacteriology research faculty members.
Add your isolates to the Microbiology 551 database
The Microbiology 551 Database is a repository for Microbio551 research findings and may be used in your class as an electronic lab notebook for your experiments. Be sure to check out the Discovery Database Guide below for tips and tricks
