The vision of the department is to blend the research activities in fundamental areas with applied chemistry directions. Modern areas like chemical biology and nanoscience are complemented well with expertise in core areas like molecular biophysics, spectroscopy and imaging. The Department has state-of-the art research facilities, some of which are home-built. You can read more about these in the attached pages.<\/p><p>The Department is strategically situated amidst the other allied departments such as biological sciences, and several physics departments such as Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Sciences, Theoretical Physics, School of Technology and Computer Science. Cross-disciplinary activities are hallmarks of the research programs in the Department which has traditionally fostered active inter-departmental collaborations with physicists and biologists. The composition of the faculty group within the department itself is a good blend of chemists and physicists practicing both theory and experiments. We encourage promising young researchers working in the contemporary forefront research areas of chemical or interdisciplinary science to apply for the faculty positions.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"facilities-part facilities-part-left\\\" data-aos=\\\"fade-up\\\" data-aos-delay=\\\"400\\\"><div class=\\\"row\\\"><div class=\\\"col-lg-6 facilities-col\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-col-ppart\\\"><p>The department conducts a vibrant graduate program that offers Ph.D. degree. The structured and rigorous curriculum offers both - courses and term projects - in the first year of graduate study. The research training that the students receive is comparable to the best universities in the world. The department has a good faculty to student ratio, which enables students to seamlessly interact with the faculty members. The admission to this program is through a nationwide entrance test that is conducted on the second Sunday of December every year.

From this original Nuclear and Electron Magnetism (NEM) group a more focused Chemical Physics Group was created in the late 1960s with research activities turned more towards chemical and biochemical systems. Activities of the Chemical Physics group in the 1970-80s were intensely focused on building and using various molecular spectroscopic techniques, especially in the time-resolved mode, to address problems in chemistry and biology. As the faculty group became interested in designing novel molecular materials for specific applications the overall emphasis of the group was then tuned to include programs such as synthetic materials chemistry. This comprehensive research group was named as the Department of Chemical Sciences (DCS) in 1997. The Department of Chemical Sciences (DCS) at TIFR, Mumbai currently has 12 faculty members and 50 Ph.D. students.<\/p><p>Currently, scientists at the DCS explore the link between living systems and the physical laws that govern nature. They study systems of varying sizes ranging from water molecules to viruses. To understand working of biological systems, DCS researchers are studying the structure, dynamics, and function of biological molecules. In vivo studies through TIFR-developed chemical biology tools explore the biological interaction space and also report the emergence of disease conditions. The laws that govern interaction in molecules are studied at DCS in well-defined and isolated small molecules. Information gained from such fundamental studies are applied to design novel materials with exotic properties, of value to chemical and solar energy industries and to medical applications. The interdisciplinary endeavors of DCS are constantly supported by core expertise in state-of-the-art experimental methodologies such as high field NMR, ultrafast lasers and single molecule methodologies.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\",\"status\":{\"value\":\"published\",\"label\":\"Published\"},\"user_id\":1,\"image\":\"about-header-1.jpg\",\"template\":\"default\",\"description\":\"From the Chair's Office\",\"created_at\":\"2024-10-22T16:55:28.000000Z\",\"updated_at\":\"2024-11-12T11:39:02.000000Z\",\"slugable\":{\"id\":4311,\"key\":\"about-us\",\"reference_type\":\"Botble\\\\Page\\\\Models\\\\Page\",\"reference_id\":3,\"prefix\":\"\"}},\"metadata\":[],\"children\":[]}},{\"menuItem\":{\"id\":28,\"menu_id\":1,\"parent_id\":0,\"reference_id\":6,\"reference_type\":\"Botble\\\\Page\\\\Models\\\\Page\",\"url\":\"\/research\",\"icon_font\":null,\"position\":1,\"title\":\"Research\",\"css_class\":\"dropdown\",\"target\":\"_self\",\"has_child\":1,\"reference\":{\"id\":6,\"name\":\"Research\",\"content\":null,\"status\":{\"value\":\"published\",\"label\":\"Published\"},\"user_id\":1,\"image\":null,\"template\":\"default\",\"description\":null,\"created_at\":\"2024-11-06T01:14:40.000000Z\",\"updated_at\":\"2024-11-06T01:32:37.000000Z\",\"slugable\":{\"id\":4327,\"key\":\"research\",\"reference_type\":\"Botble\\\\Page\\\\Models\\\\Page\",\"reference_id\":6,\"prefix\":\"\"}},\"metadata\":[],\"children\":[]},\"children\":[{\"menuItem\":{\"id\":30,\"menu_id\":1,\"parent_id\":28,\"reference_id\":7,\"reference_type\":\"Botble\\\\Page\\\\Models\\\\Page\",\"url\":\"\/chemical-biology-and-molecular-biophysics\",\"icon_font\":null,\"position\":0,\"title\":\"Chemical Biology and Molecular Biophysics\",\"css_class\":null,\"target\":\"_self\",\"has_child\":0,\"reference\":{\"id\":7,\"name\":\"Chemical Biology and Molecular Biophysics\",\"content\":\"<section class=\\\"starter-section section pt-0\\\" id=\\\"starter-section\\\"><div class=\\\"container\\\" data-aos=\\\"fade-up\\\" data-aos-delay=\\\"200\\\"><div class=\\\"row\\\"><div class=\\\"col-lg-6 reasearch-col\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-col-ppart\\\"><p>Faculty and students from the Department of Chemical Sciences participate in several modes of social and academic outreach activities which promote science and research.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"col-lg-6 facilities-img-col\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-img\\\"><img class=\\\"img-fluid\\\" src=\\\"themes\/tifr\/img\/chemical-biology.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"...\\\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\\\"reasearch-bottom-section section\\\"><div class=\\\"container\\\"><div class=\\\"reasearch-types-part\\\" data-aos=\\\"fade-up\\\" data-aos-delay=\\\"200\\\"><div class=\\\"reasearch-types-div\\\"><div class=\\\"reasearch-types-icon\\\"><img src=\\\"themes\/tifr\/img\/health.svg\\\" alt=\\\"...\\\"><\/div><div class=\\\"reasearch-types-text\\\">Good health and Well Being<\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"reasearch-types-plus\\\"><img src=\\\"themes\/tifr\/img\/plus.svg\\\" alt=\\\"...\\\"><\/div><div class=\\\"reasearch-types-div\\\"><div class=\\\"reasearch-types-icon\\\"><img src=\\\"themes\/tifr\/img\/fundamental.svg\\\" alt=\\\"...\\\"><\/div><div class=\\\"reasearch-types-text\\\">Fundamental Biochemistry and Biophysics<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"reasearch-team-part\\\" data-aos=\\\"fade-up\\\" data-aos-delay=\\\"300\\\"><div class=\\\"reasearch-team-full\\\"><div class=\\\"reasearch-team-div\\\"><div class=\\\"reasearch-team-img\\\"><img src=\\\"themes\/tifr\/img\/ankhona-datta.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"...\\\"><\/div><div class=\\\"reasearch-team-ttl\\\">Ankona Datta<\/div><div class=\\\"reasearch-team-body\\\"><div class=\\\"reasearch-body-ttl\\\">Experiments<\/div><div class=\\\"reasearch-body-text\\\">Visualizing signals that control life.

The Ph.D. research project can be a continuation of either Project A1, A2 or B or a new project \u2013 done in consultation with Ph.D. Supervisor that has been assigned. Students have to register for the Ph.D. degree as soon as they complete the requisite total of 60 credit points. This is normally done by the end of their second Year. <a href=\\\"#\\\">Registration form is available here that has to be submitted to the University Cell<\/a>.<\/p><p>Once registered for Ph.D., after the second year onwards, the student will also be required to give at least one departmental seminar before May 31 in each Academic year. Continuation to a subsequent year of the Ph.D. programme is contingent on the successful performance and evaluation of the student. This evaluation is done by the department every year in June (see below under \u201cThesis Monitoring Committee (TMC) and Annual Evaluation\u201d for more details).<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"col-lg-6 facilities-img-col\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-img\\\"><img class=\\\"img-fluid\\\" src=\\\"themes\/tifr\/img\/phd-guideline-4.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"...\\\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"guideline-tab-part\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-part facilities-part-left\\\" data-aos=\\\"fade-up\\\" data-aos-delay=\\\"300\\\"><div class=\\\"row\\\"><div class=\\\"col-lg-6 facilities-col\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-col-ppart\\\"><div class=\\\"inside-title-2\\\">Selection of Ph.D. Supervisor<\/div><p>All students must decide his\/her Ph.D. Supervisor before end of May of the first year and inform the Subject Board Chemistry accordingly (<a href=\\\"#\\\">see Ph.D. Timeline<\/a>). Choosing a Ph.D. Supervisor is a responsibility of the research scholars. Any Faculty member of TIFR can in principle serve as a Supervisor for the student, so long as the subject\/project of the thesis is approved by the SBC. A student can be registered with an academic staff member as a Supervisor who has at least six months of service left before retirement from the date of registration. Faculty members who have less than six months of service before retirement can be a Supervisor only if a co-Supervisor is identified who would be responsible for the completion of the research project. The co-Supervisor is expected to take over as a regular Supervisor once the original Supervisor retires. Allocation of the Ph.D. Supervisor will primarily be based on the choice of the student, but two students of the same batch wishing to join the same Supervisor for Ph.D. will not be generally approved. The names of Faculty members who may accept a student in a given year will be informed to the students in the first year. A Faculty member will generally accept only one student from a given batch. A second student will be allowed to join a Faculty member who has already accepted one student of the same batch, only if there are no other Faculty members available as Supervisors for the student and the concerned Faculty member agrees to accept two students. If a student fails to select a Ph.D. Supervisor as per the guidelines of the Subject Board, then he\/she will have to leave the graduate programme.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"col-lg-6 facilities-img-col\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-img\\\"><img class=\\\"img-fluid\\\" src=\\\"themes\/tifr\/img\/phd-guideline-5.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"...\\\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"guideline-tab-part\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-part facilities-part-right\\\" data-aos=\\\"fade-up\\\" data-aos-delay=\\\"300\\\"><div class=\\\"row\\\"><div class=\\\"col-lg-6 facilities-col facilities-col-order-2\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-col-ppart\\\"><div class=\\\"inside-title-2\\\">Thesis Monitoring Committee (TMC) and Annual Evaluation<\/div><p>Every Ph.D. student will have a thesis monitoring committee (TMC), to be constituted by the thesis Supervisor, after they register for the Ph.D. programme.

The student should have regular interactions with the TMC and a formal report of the thesis committee on the progress of the student will be required for consideration of extension of the Research Scholarship of the student at the end of each academic year.

The synopsis seminar will be a department seminar and it will be evaluated by 5 Synopsis committee members (TMC members + 2 additional members co-opted by SBC in consultation with the thesis supervisor). The synopsis will be graded and after the successful synopsis presentation and correction of the synopsis document (to be done within a month of the synopsis seminar), then the student should upload the revised document on Datanet.<\/p><p>If, for any reason, the student delays the submission of synopsis beyond the recommended period of one month, the presented synopsis and the seminar may be declared null and void, and the candidate would have to write a fresh synopsis and give a fresh seminar. Prior approval has to be sought from the SBC convenor if the student anticipates taking more than one month for the synopsis submission.<\/p><p>Once the synopsis document has been successfully submitted to the University Cell, then the student will be allowed to submit a Ph.D. thesis. The maximum time between the synopsis seminar and the Ph.

Research Project and Continuation<\/div><p>From the start of the second semester of the second year, the student is expected to start working on their M.Sc. research project full time. The M.Sc. research project can be a continuation of either Project A1, A2 or B or a new project \u2013 done in consultation with Int. M.Sc.-Ph.D. supervisor (see below for the selection of the Int. M.Sc.-Ph.D. Supervisor) that has been assigned. In addition, during the 2nd and 3rd year, the student is also expected to finish all their course requirements. All M.Sc. requirements (course work, research project, and oral examination of the research project) are to be finished by July 31st of the third year.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"col-lg-6 facilities-img-col\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-img\\\"><img class=\\\"img-fluid\\\" src=\\\"themes\/tifr\/img\/intmscphd-guideline-4.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"...\\\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"facilities-part phd-guideline-part aos-init aos-animate\\\"><div class=\\\"container\\\"><div class=\\\"row\\\"><div class=\\\"col-lg-12 facilities-col\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-col-ppart-full\\\"><div class=\\\"inside-title-3\\\">Selection of Integrated M.Sc.-Ph.D. Supervisor<\/div><p>All students must decide his\/her Int. M.Sc.-Ph.D supervisor before end of May of the first year and inform the Subject Board Chemistry accordingly (see Int. M.Sc.-Ph.D. Timeline). Choosing an Int. M.Sc.-Ph.D. supervisor is a responsibility of the research scholars. Any faculty member of TIFR can in principle serve as a supervisor for the student, so long as the subject\/project of the thesis is approved by the SBC. A student can be registered with an academic staff member as a supervisor who has at least six months of service left before retirement from the date of registration. Faculty members who have less than six months of service before retirement can be a supervisor only if a co-supervisor is identified who would be responsible for the completion of the research project. The co-supervisor is expected to take over as a regular supervisor once the original supervisor retires. Allocation of the supervisor will primarily be based on the choice of the student, but two students of the same batch wishing to join the same supervisor for Ph.D. will not be generally approved. The names of Faculty members who may accept a student in a given year will be informed to the students in the first year. A Faculty member will generally accept only one student from a given batch. A second student will be allowed to join a Faculty member who has already accepted one student of the same batch, only if there are no other Faculty members available as supervisors for the student and the concerned Faculty member agrees to accept two students. If a student fails to select a supervisor as per the guidelines of the Subject Board, then he\/she will have to leave the graduate programme.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"guideline-tab-part\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-part facilities-part-left\\\" data-aos=\\\"fade-up\\\" data-aos-delay=\\\"300\\\"><div class=\\\"row\\\"><div class=\\\"col-lg-6 facilities-col\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-col-ppart\\\"><div class=\\\"inside-title-2\\\">Ph.D. Registration<\/div><p>Students have to register for the Ph.D. degree by the end of third year - as soon as they complete the requisite total of 102 credit points. Registration form is available here. The Ph.D. project is designed in consultation with the Int. M.Sc.-Ph.D. supervisor and should be different from the M.Sc. research project<\/p><p>Once registered for Ph.D., after the fourth year onwards, the student will also be required to give at least one departmental seminar before May 31 in each Academic year. Continuation to a subsequent year of the Ph.D. programme is contingent on the successful performance and evaluation of the student. This evaluation is done by the department every year in June (see below under \u201cThesis Monitoring Committee (TMC) and Annual Evaluation\u201d for more details).<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"col-lg-6 facilities-img-col\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-img\\\"><img class=\\\"img-fluid\\\" src=\\\"themes\/tifr\/img\/intmscphd-guideline-5.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"...\\\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"guideline-tab-part\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-part facilities-part-right\\\"><div class=\\\"row\\\"><div class=\\\"col-lg-6 facilities-col facilities-col-order-2\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-col-ppart\\\"><div class=\\\"inside-title-2\\\">Thesis Monitoring Committee (TMC) and Annual Evaluation<\/div><p>Every Ph.D. student will have a thesis monitoring committee (TMC), to be constituted by the thesis Supervisor, after they register for the Ph.D. programme. This committee will consist of the thesis Supervisor and at least two other Faculty members. The student should have regular interactions with the TMC and a formal report of the thesis committee on the progress of the student will be required for consideration of extension of the Research Scholarship of the student at the end of each academic year. As already mentioned above, each registered Int. M.Sc.-Ph.D. student will also be required to give at least one Departmental Seminar before May 31 of each Academic year.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"col-lg-6 facilities-img-col\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-img\\\"><img class=\\\"img-fluid\\\" src=\\\"themes\/tifr\/img\/intmscphd-guideline-6.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"...\\\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\\\"facilities-part phd-guideline-part\\\"><div class=\\\"container\\\"><div class=\\\"row\\\"><div class=\\\"col-lg-12 facilities-col\\\"><div class=\\\"facilities-col-ppart-full\\\"><div class=\\\"inside-title-3\\\">Submission of Ph.D. Thesis<\/div><p>The minimum period between the date of joining (Registration done usually by end of third year (see Int.

The details of the procedure for the Ph.D. synopsis can be found here. This document has to be submitted at least 10 days before the synopsis seminar along with the Synopsis submission document. The synopsis seminar will be a department seminar and it will be evaluated by 5 Synopsis committee members (TMC members + 2 additional members co-opted by SBC in consultation with the thesis supervisor). The synopsis will be graded and after the successful synopsis presentation and correction of the synopsis document (to be done within a month of the synopsis seminar), then the student can submit the document to the University Cell.<\/p><p>If, for any reason, the student delays the submission of synopsis beyond the recommended period of one month, the presented synopsis and the seminar may be declared null and void, and the candidate would have to write a fresh synopsis and give a fresh seminar. Prior approval has to be sought from the SBC convenor if the student anticipates taking more than one month for the synopsis submission.<\/p><p>Once the synopsis document has been successfully submitted to the University Cell, then the student will be allowed to submit a Ph.D. thesis. The maximum time between the synopsis seminar and the Ph. D. thesis submission is six months.<\/p><p>If an extension is needed for thesis submission (beyond the six month deadline), then prior approval from both SBC and Dean GS has to be obtained. This request is to be made before the termination of the six month deadline.<\/p><p>The thesis must be a PDF document, legibly typed on A4-size pages in 12 pt font size, with 1.5 spacing and with 1 inch margins.
