Welcome to the Steacie Institute
for Molecular Sciences
The mission
of the Steacie Institute for Molecular Sciences (SIMS) is
to provide leadership in collaboration with the Canadian and international
scientific communities in the development of a knowledge base in
molecular sciences and to ensure that it has positive impact on
Canada by being pro-active in its dissemination to our partners.
The Steacie Institute
is named after Dr. E.W.R.
"Ned" Steacie, one of Canada's most eminent researchers
in physical chemistry and President of the National Research Council
from 1952 to 1962. The Steacie
Prize, in memory of Ned Steacie is awarded yearly.
SIMS undertakes fundamental interdisciplinary
research programs in partnership with researchers inside and outside
NRC to develop innovative technologies and is based on competencies
that range from cell chemistry to attosecond science to nano-materials.
The success of the institute depends on the global reach of our scientists
who are constantly challenging themselves to be at the cutting edge
of science, in the fields that will have the most impact world-wide.
SIMS prides itself on being a training
ground for graduate and undergraduate students, and postdoctoral
fellows who will be the leaders of tomorrow.
This is an exciting time for the institute so browse awhile!
