VISION BEHIND THE BIMR

The vision behind the Brockhouse Institute is that the very best research is always driven by the imagination of the best researchers. The objective of this Institute is to develop versatile tools at the highest level and provide the infrastructure, access and expertise that researchers require to take full advantage of them in the pursuit of their ideas. The Institute is highly focused on student training with the perspective that the best training is direct involvement in the high-impact research at the cutting-edge of science.

La vision derrière l'Institut Brockhouse est que la meilleure recherche est toujours conduite par l'imagination des meilleurs chercheurs. L'objectif de l'Institut est de développer des outils variés au plus haut niveau et de fournir l'infrastructure, l'accès et l'expertise que les chercheurs exigent pour en prendre le plein avantage dans la poursuite de leurs idées. Un rôle primordial de l'Institut est la formation en recherche des étudiants avec la perspective que la meilleure formation vient de l'engagement direct dans la recherche à fort impact à l'avant-garde de la science et l'ingénierie.

Spring 2009 Lab Business

   It explored the impact of environmental nanoparticles on human health and the scientific value of doing "per nanoparticle" speciation analyses for nanotoxicological investigations.   I describe  (1) how nanoparticles can be detected one-at-a-time in heterogeneous environmental samples and outline  (2) a plan to make the new nanotechnology more accessible to laboratories which monitor environmental compartments for toxic materials.
