The collaboration seeks to bring the most recently-developed science and technologies to address key fundamental in agriculture

National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) and the Tata Institute of Genetics and Society (TIGS) has announced an institutional alliance. NCBS-TIFR is a premier research institution that has been dedicated to fundamental research at all levels of biology covering a diverse set of subjects spanning from molecules to ecosystems and from nanosecond to evolutionary time. NCBS-TIFR aims to strengthen and expand knowledge in the life sciences, create and facilitate exemplary human capital, and develop novel tools and technologies to enhance capacity for life science research in the country.
 
The collaboration seeks to bring the most recently-developed science and technologies to address key fundamental and applied questions in the area of human health and agriculture. The collaboration is expected to further the frontiers of basic and applied research for the benefit of society.
 
NCBS-TIFR is a member of the Bangalore Life Science Cluster (BLiSc), along with the DBT- Institute for Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine and the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP). The thriving intellectual environment and quality infrastructure on the BLiSc is expected to catalyse scientific productivity and application at scale. This engagement could broaden the partner base in BLiSc, contributing to the vision of making BLiSc a leader in facilitating and implementing scientific solutions of societal benefit through a deep understanding of fundamental science.
