ABOUT US

The Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), founded in 1876 by Dr. Mahendra Lal Sircar, is India's oldest research institute and a cornerstone in the country's scientific legacy. With a focus on fundamental research in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Energy, Polymer, and Materials, IACS has played a pivotal role in nurturing innovative minds and advancing scientific discovery. Among its most notable achievements is Sir C. V. Raman's discovery of the Raman Effect, which earned him the Nobel Prize in 1930 and cemented the institute's global significance.

This tradition of interdisciplinary excellence continues through initiatives like the upcoming IABS 2025 conference. The IABS conference is critical as it reflects the growing need for interdisciplinary research in the biological sciences, where insights from physics, chemistry, and biology intersect to deepen our understanding of life. By bringing together leading scientists and emerging researchers, IABS fosters collaboration, reduces intellectual barriers, and drives advancements in areas such as biological physics, systems biology, and bioengineering, positioning India at the forefront of cutting-edge biological research.
