It was registered under the Societies Act in the then princely state of Mysore and the memorandum of registration was signed by the late Profs. V. Subramanian, V. N. Patwardhan and C. V. Natarajan, who were leading personalities in the scientific firmament during that period. The Society played a crucial role during the Second World War by advising the Government on the utilization of indigenous biomaterials as food substitutes, drugs and tonics, on the industrial and agricultural waste utilization and on management of water resources. The other areas of vital interest to the Society in the early years were nutrition, proteins, enzymes, applied microbiology, preventive medicines and the development of high quality proteins from indigenous plant sources.

Integrating theory and experiments, it aims at understanding biological systems at various levels. Understanding the physical and chemical principles underlying life forms has been the impetus for many scientists and this has propelled this field over the decades. Molecular Biophysics Unit at the Indian Institute of Science The Molecular Biophysics Unit (MBU) at the Indian Institute of Science was founded in 1971 by G.N. Ramachandran. The Unit is currently engaged in frontline research in contemporary molecular Biophysics and Structural Biology. The research activities in the Unit focus on the structure, conformation and interactions in biomolecules, with the main objective of explaining biological activity in molecular terms. The unit has grown over a quarter of century, during this period, more than 200 young scientists have obtained their Ph.D. degrees and the number of research publications exceeds 1000. Seven faculty members have received prestigious S.S. Bhatnagar prize, eight members are fellows of the Indian Academy of Sciences and seven members are fellows of the Indian National Science Academy.
