The National Centre for Biological Sciences is delighted to have Amey Redkar, the newest faculty member join the Centre. Amey’s research focuses on genetic and cellular mechanisms of plant-microbial interactions, specifically dissecting molecular dialogues between plant roots and microbes that drive the disease outcomes.

The National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), Bengaluru, signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with Research & Training Organizations of Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEFCC), GoI- Indian Council of Forestry and Research and Education (ICFRE), Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy (IGFNA), Central Academy for State Forestry Service (CASFOS) and Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding (IFGTB), as a step towards building partnership for research and education on biodiversity and conservation.

The National Centre for Biological Sciences said Prof Gita Chadha brings an intersectional feminist perspective to discussions in the study of science in India.

The Obaid Siddiqi Chair has been set up at the intersection of the practice of science, its history and culture and is awarded to eminent scholars whose work spans these disciplines. Named after Obaid Siddiqi, the founder of the Molecular Biology Unit at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and whose vision led to the development of NCBS, the Chair is supported by TNQ Technologies.

How mutation spectra reversals increase the odds of evolutionary success

Cells possess a remarkable ability to organize their interiors using minuscule protein machines known as molecular motors, which generate directed motion. Most molecular motors rely on a common form of chemical energy, ATP, to function.
