Simon Fraser University opens its new science and technology building today, April 30 at 2 p.m. in the building’s atrium. The Technology and Science Complex 2 (TASC2) is home to 4D Laboratories, a major project funded through the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the B.C. Knowledge Development Fund.
The lab will bring together chemists, physicists and engineers to conduct research in the forefront fields of molecular electronics, as well as the use of nanomaterials (smaller than the eye can see) in medicine, including drug delivery and therapeutics.
Other research groups housed in TASC2 study a wide range of issues — from greenhouse gas reduction to the monitoring and analysis of global media.
Researchers will be available for tours at 3 p.m. For more details, along with backgrounders on 4D LABS and lab tours, see: SFU unveils new science and tech building
