National Centre for Biological Sciences

The National Centre for Biological Sciences (a constituent centre of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, an autonomous institution under the Department of Atomic Energy) is devoted to excellent research in biology across scales, from molecules to ecosystems.

NCBS mirrors the TIFR mission and vision, and aims to lead discovery and basic understanding of the life sciences, contributing to the growth of human knowledge, while nurturing young scientists, and contributing evidence to science-based social challenges. Through dissemination of this knowledge we hope to create a better scientific temper in society, aligned with an evidence-based future.
