Infobox college name Indian Institute of ChemicalBiology established 1935 city Jadavpur , Kolkata . state West Bengal . country India . website http www.iicb.res.in www.iicb.res.in The Indian Institute of ChemicalBiology IICB is a unit of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research . It was established on January 1, 1935 as the Indian Institute of Medical Research, the name by which the institute was known till 1956. The avowed objective of the institute was the advancement of the state of human knowledge related to the basic aspect of the causation and prevention of diseases of special concern for our country especially tropical diseases and also nutritional biochemistry and physiology. In 1956 the institute came under the umbrella of the CSIR. Today , by its mandate IICB is engaged in research on diseases and certain biological problems of global interest. History A convention of scientists and technologies of West Bengal was held on 29 April 1986 in the auditorium of Indian Institute of ChemicalBiology IICB , Kolkata to consider the question of forming an Academy of Science in West Bengal. Out of prolonged discussion, the house decided to form such an Academy and constituted an ad hoc committee, with Professor Sushil Kumar Mukherjee as the Chairman, to take necessary steps to give effect to this decision in a general meeting on 20 January 1989 in the auditorium of IICB, the formation of the Academy WAST with 136 Founder Fellows. The first elected Council of the Academy, with Prof. S.K. Mukherjee as President, Prof. S.C. Pakrashi and Prof. R.K. Poddar as Vice Presidents, met on 24 August 1989 to elect office bearers. The Academy then was registered as a Society S 65001 to 1990 91 . A new Academy entitled West Bengal Academy of Science & Technology was thus born.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Chemical physics is a subdiscipline of chemistry and physics that investigates physicochemical phenomena using techniques from atomic, molecular, and optical physics atomic and molecular physics and condensed matter physics it is the branch of physics that studies chemical processes from the point of view of physics. While at the interface of physics and chemistry , chemical physics is distinct from physical chemistry in that it focuses more on the characteristic elements and theories of physics. Meanwhile, physical chemistry studies the physical nature of chemistry. Nonetheless, the distinction between the two fields is vague, and workers often practice in each field during the course of their research. What chemical physicists do Chemical physicists commonly probe the structure and dynamics mechanics dynamics of ions , free radical s, polymers , cluster chemistry clusters , and molecule s. Areas of study include the quantum mechanical behavior of chemical ... such as quantum dots .
