The research in TIFR are categorized into three major schools:

• The School of Mathematics,

• The School of Natural Sciences and

• The School of Technology and Computer Science.

The TIFR also includes institutes outside its main campus in Colaba, Mumbai.

The institute does work in many core fields like algebra, algebraic geometry, lie groups, representation theory and quantum groups, number theory, combinatorics, differential geometry, topology, mathematical physics, astronomy and astrophysics, structural biology, molecular biophysics, molecular biology, nuclear & atomic physics, and theoretical physics, alongside many others. Algebra is a branch of mathematics which studies structure and quantity. ... Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which, as the name suggests, combines abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with geometry. ... In mathematics, a Lie group is an analytic real or complex manifold that is also a group such that the group operations multiplication and inversion are analytic maps. ... Traditionally, number theory is that branch of pure mathematics concerned with the properties of integers. ... Combinatorics is a odd branch of mathematics that studies collections (usually finite) then constructing and analyzing objects meeting the criteria (as in combinatorial designs and matroid theory), with finding largest, smallest, or optimal objects (extremal combinatorics and combinatorial optimization), and with finding algebraic structures these objects may have (algebraic combinatorics). ... In mathematics, differential topology is the field dealing with differentiable functions on differentiable manifolds. ... Topology (Greek topos, place and logos, study) is a branch of mathematics concerned with spatial properties preserved under bicontinuous deformation (stretching without tearing or gluing); these are the topological invariants. ... Mathematical physics is the scientific discipline concerned with the application of mathematics to problems in physics and the development of mathematical methods suitable for such applications and for the formulation of physical theories1. ... Astrometry: the study of the position of objects in the sky and their changes of position. ... Spiral Galaxy ESO 269-57 Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the physics of the universe, including the physical properties (luminosity, density, temperature and chemical composition) of astronomical objects such as stars, galaxies, and the interstellar medium, as well as their interactions. ... Structural biology is a branch of molecular biology concerned with the study of the architecture and shape of biological macromolecules--proteins and nucleic acids in particular—and what causes them to have the structures they have. ... Molecular biology is the study of biology at a molecular level. ... Nuclear physics is the branch of physics concerned with the nucleus of the atom. ... Atomic physics (or atom physics) is physics of the electron hull of atoms. ... Theoretical physics is physics that employs mathematical models and abstractions rather than experimental processes. ...

The TIFR has a large library with more than 100,000 books and journals. It also has a powerful central computing facility and is connected to the world grid by high speed communication networks. The institute is one of the few in India which provides facility of a liquid helium for very low temperature experimental studies in Physics.
