About
 
The goal of IndianBioscience.org is for Indian biologists (junior and senior, working in India or abroad) to unite as a community- to find and exchange information, to make new contacts and find collaborators, to share perspectives, to attract a new generation of young people to scientific careers, and to welcome back talented Indians who previously might have established their careers abroad.

The idea for IndianBioscience.org stemmed from the first Young Investigator Meeting in Kerala (Feb. 2009). The meeting succeeded in its mission of communicating information and bringing people together, but naturally it only occurs once per year and has limited participation. This web site meets India’s important need of a year-round communication/social portal for a world-wide audience.

IndianBioscience.org is an experiment, one without precedence in any country. Its success requires collective ownership. This is your site- please participate and give us feedback.

The Second Steering Committee, 2011

IndianBioscience.org is an independent, grass-roots effort. We gratefully thank the National Center for the Biological Sciences (NCBS) for providing the infrastructure for this site, but the site is otherwise not run by NCBS or any other single institute or government organization. Rather, it is managed by a consortium of young investigators with the intention of promoting the science and careers of young scientists and to promote the development of the biological sciences in India overall.
