About the organization:
The AU-KBC ( Anna University – K B Chandrasekhar ) Research Centre in the MIT (Madras Institute of Technology) Campus of Anna University, Chennai, has its core  vision of becoming  a  multidisciplinary research institution of global standing  pursuing the twin goals of Extending the frontiers of Scientific Knowledge through high quality research Generating Technologies and Products of economic and social value The Research Centre was set up in 1999 as a collaborative effort between Anna University and one of its alumni Mr. K. B. Chandrasekhar, a global entrepreneur and investor based in the USA. Done as a part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the M I T Campus, the Centre was borne through a Memorandum Of Understanding between the Anna University Chennai and the K B C Research Foundation Pvt. Ltd., Chennai.The Research programs of the Centre combine the Academic with the Industrial, the Theoretical with the Experimental, the Long-term with the Short-term – and cover the areas of Life Sciences and Information Sciences. The Centre represents a pioneering effort in Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) in Research in India. It also works with a unique perspective on how a university-based research  laboratory can become financially self- supporting through a judicious use of its expertise, skills and resources. The achievements that the centre has realized  with in a relatively short period of time working with  such a paradigm is making  it an attractive model  for broad-basing India’s research efforts in a scalable and sustainable manner The AU-KBC Research Centre is governed by a Governing Council (GC) with the Vice-Chancellor, Anna University, as the Chairman (Presently Dr.P.Mannar Jawahar) and the Chairman/President of KBCRF Pvt. Ltd. as its Co-Chairman (Presently Mr. K.B. Chandrasekhar). In addition to officers representing the University Administration, the GC also has as its members eminent persons drawn from the fields of Academia, Research, Business and Industry. Presently they include The administration and management of the Centre is carried out by a Program Implementation Committee (PIC) appointed by the GC whose Convener is the Centre Director (presently Prof. Mala John) and whose Co-Convener is the Program Director ( presently Prof. C N Krishnan). The Program Director is responsible for the overall development and growth of the Centre and all its activities. The Centre has its own full-fledged administrative office, and operates with a high degree of financial and administrative autonomy within the overall structure of Anna University, and functions from its Madras Institute of Technology Campus at Chromepet in the suburbs of Chennai.The Centre has an independent  built-up space of about 15000 sq. ft. area, consisting of air-conditioned labs, conference rooms, class rooms, etc. Stabilised  power with full UPS  and Diesel Generator backup, a high-end 120-node networked computing environment  with a broad band leased line Internet access, Communication facilities, a pantry, etc. are available  on a 24×7 basis. The Centre has the following major laboratories open round-the-clock: A Wet Biology Lab focusing on nano-scale and single-molecule biology studies with advanced instrumentation and facilities, a Bioinformatics Lab, a Communication and Network Security Lab, a Natural Language Processing Lab focusing on  Knowledge Discovery techniques, and a Free/Open Source Software Lab. Additionally, scientists and students at the Centre can get access to the other laboratories and facilities of the University on the basis of collaborative programs with the concerned departments. The Centre also has access to the common infrastructure of Anna University in both the MIT and the Main campuses, such as the libraries, seminar halls, guesthouses, cafeteria, auditoria, etc., following the university norms.Right from its inception, AU-KBC Research Centre has laid great emphasis on Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary work in all its activities and programs. This followed partly from its focus on application-oriented work where the requirements of the end-application dictates the types of disciplines that would be needed, and partly from the understanding that the new forms of knowledge that would be needed in the future would not fit tightly into any of the existing silos, but would necessarily cut across many of them. Advancements in the science of Mathematical Modeling and Computing has in particular facilitated development of understanding across disciplines even at the levels of working scientists. Our centre has had two broad divisions from its very inception–Work in Life Sciences has two components – Experimental research emphasizing biological processes at the single-molecule, nano-scale levels, and studies of similar phenomena using Bioinformatics and Modeling approaches and tools. Under the Information Sciences division, activities are currently being pursued in the areas of Language Computing and Knowledge Discovery, Wireless Communications, and Cryptography and Network Security. The M.S.(By Research) and Ph.D. Programs of the Anna University in all the areas of Information Sciences and Life Sciences  are offered at the AU-KBC Research Centre as per the rules and regulations of Anna University.  The programs prepare the  Scholars for careers in R & D and Entrepreneurship at the highest levels through a unique combination of rigorous course work, strong  interdisciplinary exposure, choice of problems at the cutting edges of emergent technologies, as well as strong linkages with other centres of advanced R & D in India and abroad. The Centre collaborates closely with the other departments and centres of the university in its academic programs, and thus contributes to raising the level of the academic and teaching programs of the University. Facilities exist for Full Time as well as Part Time programs.
