since moving in October 2017 from a temporary campus in Narsingi. The TIFR Centre for Interdisciplinary Sciences (TCIS) is the first centre of TIFR Hyderabad. The faculty are drawn from all the three major branches of the natural sciences and engineering. Nearly a hundred graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and scientific staff already work here on research topics from the life sciences, chemistry, physics and materials sciences. Substantial experimental efforts have commenced using tools of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Laser Sciences, Condensed Matter Physics, Synthetic and Biological Chemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology. TIFR Hyderabad has a department-less structure.
