SCIMS Reveal

The Stanford Center for Imaging Mass Spectrometry was revealed on September 21, 2023, with ribbon cutting by Vice Provost and Dean of Research David Studdert, ScD, MPH, and former VPDoR Kam Moler, PhD, joined by Tim D'Souza, Waters Vice President-Americas; Xiaowei (Vivian) Lu, PhD, MS Imaging Scientist; Allis Chien, PhD, SUMS Director; and Claudius Mundoma, PhD, Director of Shared Instrumentation Facilities in the VPDoR Office. SCIMS is founded on Waters' groundbreaking SELECT Series MRT (Multi Reflecting TOF) and Cyclic Ion Mobility mass spectrometry platforms.
