About us
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.

"What humiliation when any one beside me heard a flute in the far distance, while I heard nothing, or when others heard a shepherd singing, and I still heard nothing!" wrote Ludwig van Beethoven in a letter to his brothers in 1802. Despite being a musical genius, Beethoven began losing hearing in his late 20s. Mammals, including humans, do not have the ability to regenerate hair cells when damaged. Birds, however, play by different rules. They can regenerate hair cells and restore their hearing. How do they do it? Raj Ladher and team identified crucial molecular clues about how this restoration might work in Chicks. These insights could potentially address permanent deafness in humans in the future.

Have you ever wondered how your brain can tell the difference between the smell of morning coffee and the aroma of hot chocolate, even though they share some odour molecules? Or how do animals differentiate between friendly or threatening sounds? In our daily lives, stimuli like images and odours are represented as patterns of neuronal activity in our brains. Recent research by Prof. Upinder Bhalla and lab explored how the dendrites - the branches of neurons - can help distinguish these patterns. ✏ Vandana Agarwal
