Anca Volumnia Sima (n. 3 mai 1952) este un biofizician român, membru titular (2004) al Academiei Române.

A urmat Facultatea de Fizică la Universitatea București (1971- 1976), obținând calificarea de fizician, master biofizică.

În perioada1981-1982 a fost Fulbright scholar la Medical College of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, SUA, specializare în biochimie

În perioada 1985-1993 a făcut studii de doctorat, devenind Doctor în științele naturii, specialitatea biologie celulară.

După absolvire, s-a angajat la Institutul de Biologie si Patologie Celulară „Nicolae Simionescu” din București, unde a lucrat între 1979 și 1991 ca cercetător științific la Laboratorul de Lipoproteine, după care, din 1991, a devenit Șef de laborator la Laboratorul de Lipoproteine și ateroscleroză.
