The National Centre for Cell Science (NCCS) took birth as National Tissue Culture Facility in March 11, 1986 with a mandate of basic research, teaching & training, and as a national repository for cell lines/hybridomas etc. The centre is located in the midst of academically enriched environment of University of Pune campus, Pune. During its transformation, the centre has undergone several changes to facilitate achievement of its goals. The centre has expanded its scientific charter to strengthen basic research in the areas of cancer biology, cell biology, immunology, genomics and proteomics.

The vision of NCCS is to accelerate research in modern biology to create new knowledge and technologies for human welfare. This will be achieved through (i) basic research in modern biology (ii) human resources development and (iii) serving as national cell repository.

As a frontline Research and Development Centre, the centre focuses on basic research in the areas of Cell Biology, Cancer Biology, Infectious diseases, Immunology, Molecular Biology, Proteomics, Genomics, Diabetes and Tissue Engineering that leads to enhancement in understanding the events at molecular level.
