1. Organisation and Function
CCMB was set up initially as a semi-autonomous Centre on April 1, 1977 with the Biochemistry Division of the then Regional Research Laboratory (RRLH, presently, Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, IICT) Hyderabad forming its nucleus and Dr P M Bhargava heading the new Centre. Earlier, the Governing Board of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) New Delhi, the apex body which constituted 44 research institutions in the country, approved the proposal in 1976 to establish such a Centre in view of the importance of research in the frontier and multi-disciplinary areas of modern biology. During 1981-82, the CCMB was accorded the status of a full-fledged national laboratory with its own Executive Committee and Scientific Advisory Council. With major expansion plans, it was decided to relocate the Centre to a spacious campus. For better development of the institute that hugely comes from autonomy of functioning, CCMB was declared a separate institute from RRLH in 1987.
Dr.Pushpa M Bhargava, Founder of CCMB, was its Director from April 1977 to February 1990;
Dr.Sharat Chandra took charge from March 1990 till May 1992
Dr.Balasubramanian took over the reins from May 1992 till May 1998

Dr.Ch Mohan Rao took charge from November 2009 till January 2016
