About National Centre for Biological Sciences

The National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), located in Bangalore, is part of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. The mandate of NCBS is fundamental research in the frontier areas of biology. Research interests range from the study of single molecules to ecology and evolution. Along with inStem and C-CAMP it forms the Bangalore Bio-Cluster, bringing together fundamental research, translational studies, and technology development. We are a premier research institute with all the necessary facilities that a research scientist may need. Research interests of our faculty members lie in the frontier areas of biology, and the science at NCBS (a part of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research ) uses experimental and computational approaches in the study of molecules, cells and organisms. We aim to understand biology at each of these levels to advance an integrated view of life processes. The talent and drive of our students and faculty members continue to show us the way to good science. NCBS’s main campus is in Gandhi Krishi Vigyan Kendra (GKVK) on Bellary Road, in the north of Bangalore. The campus has accommodation for students, visitors and faculty and facilities for childcare, sports and recreation. Another campus, close by and which continues to be developed, has additional student accommodation.
