Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, we are one of 20 research institutes of the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). We are an integrated systems biology institute with the capability to study life from the level of the genome to the whole organism.

We are the NRC Institute for Marine Biosciences (NRC-IMB).

Our multidisciplinary approach targets three core areas: Aquaculture, Natural Marine Toxins and Advanced Research Technologies. Our expertise includes analytical chemistry, bioinformatics, finfish and shellfish health and nutrition, functional genomics, metabolomics and proteomics.
