1997 Porter Committee Report - MBU NCBS divide 4.tif

The Molecular Biology Unit had a thin staff in the early 1990s and faced an uncertain future after the formation of NCBS, with many suggesting that it should be shut down. The 1997 Porter Committee Report, a TIFR-wide review, praised the work of the scientists at MBU and recommended it be "maintained and augmented".
