We take immense pride in announcing that Prof. Mukund Thattai has been awarded the Infosys Prize 2023 in Physical Sciences, in recognition of his groundbreaking contributions to evolutionary cell biology. This recognition stems from his research, which has significantly advanced our understanding of one of biology's central mysteries: the emergence of complex cells.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the book ‘WOMEN IN THE WILD: Stories of India’s Most Brilliant Women Wildlife Biologists’, which shines a light on so

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.

How mutation spectra reversals increase the odds of evolutionary success

Introduction

Caenorhabditis elegans are tiny free-living nematodes that live in soil. A large number of scientists have taken fancy to these worms as  model organisms owing to their simple genome, tiny size, ease of growing and transparent body.
