I'm not going to quote the stereotyped Ivy league and little Ivys. The places listed below offer an excellent ambiance for research and are very well funded by the NSF and NIH. Apart from the top 3 on the list, other universities have a large yearly intake and its pretty easy to get admitted as long as your profile is good.
1. Johns Hopkins Univ (Never apply here without a great profile; its perhaps the best place to do science)
2. University of Washington (Rated as one of the most competitive places for research)
3. University of California Berkeley (other UCs and CIT are good as well but have strong in-state preference)
4. Duke University (Translational research at its best)
5. University of Chicago (Great place to learn science; Alma mater of 36 Nobel laureates)
6. Cold Spring Harbor Labs(Stony Brook: Pioneers in Molecular Biology)
7. University of Wisconsin at Madison (One of the best places for Molecular biology and Neuroscience)
8. University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (It's a great place.)
9. Scripps Institute (La Jolla: pretty intense environment, not a place to learn but you will get a lot out of your PhD)
10. Baylor College of Medicine (Structural biology pioneers)
Other noteworthy Universities:
University of North Carolina at chapel hill (They are really good but don't provide support for education)
University of Colorado at Boulder (Really great secluded place to learn and live science)
Mayo medical school (Mayo clinic's affiliate)
University of Pittsburgh (well knit with UPMC;NCI sponsored institute: best place for cancer biology and regenerative medicine)
Vanderbilt University (VUMC is an affiliate and a great place to work)
