'''Bose Institute''' (or '''Basu Bigyan Mandir''') is a premier public [[research institute]] of India for [[Biology|biological sciences]], physical sciences and chemical sciences and also one of its oldest.<ref>http://www.jcbose.ac.in/history {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210425202737/http://www.jcbose.ac.in/history |date=25 April 2021 }}, ''Official website of Bose Institute''</ref> The institute was established on 30 November 1917 by [[Jagdish Chandra Bose|Acharya Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose]], the pioneer of modern scientific research in the [[Indian subcontinent]]. Bose was its director for the first twenty years till his demise. [[Debendra Mohan Bose]], who succeeded the Nobel laureate [[C. V. Raman|Sir CV Raman]] as Palit Professor of Physics at the [[University of Calcutta]], was the director of Bose Institute for the next thirty years.<br />

==Academics==<br />
===Research===<br />
Current concentration of research is in the fields of [[biotechnology]], [[Botany|plant biology]], [[microbiology]], [[molecular medicine]], [[biochemistry]], [[biophysics]], [[bioinformatics]], [[environmental science]] and [[physics]]. The institute pioneered the concept of interdisciplinary research in Asia and India in sync with global trends. The pioneering work of [[Jagadish Chandra Bose]] at the dawn of Bose institute on the effect of stimuli in plants was helpful in the establishment of the electrical nature of the conduction of various stimuli in plants. The institute has contributed to extremely important discoveries and has been home to internationally renowned researchers like [[Sambhu Nath De]] (discoverer of the [[cholera toxin]]), [[Debendra Mohan Bose]] ([https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/2404250 who pioneered the use of photographic emulsion plates in particle physics as attested by the Nobel laureate Sir C. F. Powell] ) along with [[Bibha Chowdhuri|Bhibha Chowdhuri]] and others, [[Gopal Chandra Bhattacharya]], Shyamadas Chatterjee ([https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12045-015-0236-x known for research on fusion]) etc. <br />

===Museum===<br />
[[Jagadish Chandra Bose]] himself started the display of his instruments which, as a continuous process, made their way into the present museum in the year 1986–87. The main purpose of this technological museum is to display and maintain some of the instruments designed, made and used by Sir J. C. Bose, his personal belongings and memorabilia. The museum is housed in the main campus at 93/1 A. P. C. road (formerly Upper Circular road) and is open on all weekdays.<ref>[http://www.jcbose.ac.in/museum Official website of Bose Institute Museum] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170606094030/http://jcbose.ac.in/museum |date=6 June 2017 }}, ''Museum of Bose Institute''</ref><ref>[http://www.jcbosescienceheritagemuseum.org/services.php Official Website of the J.C.
