Description

NCBS was stationed at the IISc campus. Funding for the new campus at the University of Agricultural Sciences was received from the Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Science and Technology, Department of Biotechnology, Rockefeller Foundation, World Health Organisation, the Wellcome Trust and the Human Frontier Science Program. A meetings and workshops office was developed to bring scientists as teachers to the students at NCBS, other Indian students and those in the Asian-African region. K. VijayRaghavan took over from O. Siddiqi as director of the institute in February 1997. NCBS consisted of ten research groups. The campus at UAS was designed by Raj Rewal. There were four streams of study. A note on the history and conception of NCBS is penned down by O. Siddiqi. About four students per program were selected out of the 3000 M.Sc. and the 2000 Ph.D. applicants. Villoo Morawala-Patell and Anindya Sinha were visiting fellows. The Golden Jubilee lecture series were held in collaboration with TIFR, Mumbai and financial support from the international Brain Research Organisation. A symposium titled 'From Molecular Structure to Development and Function of Organisms' was held. The centre had Journal Clubs which met every week. Academic Interactions between NCBS and MAHE were initiated. An NCBS Trust was in the process of being set up under Gayatri Saberwal. The computer facilities were expanded enormously.
