The Molecular Biophysics Unit (MBU) of the Indian Institute of Science was established by G. N. Ramachandran in 1971. He assembled a well-balanced team of faculty members in the first half of the 1970s. After Ramachandran and a couple of others left, MBU continued its journey with six comparatively undecorated and young faculty members as the core group in 1979. Subsequently, and with the addition of more faculty members, it grew into a vibrant, coherent team and came to be considered as an outstanding department. This journey, outlined here, perhaps holds some lessons to the scientific community.
