The Dias lab, located in the Department of Physics at NJIT, utilizes computer simulations to provide a better understanding of biological systems and diseases. In addition to very long unbiased all-atom simulations of large systems, the lab also uses enhanced sampling methods, and develops new methodology whenever needed to answer critical questions.
​
Several of the research projects in the Dias lab are in collaboration with experimental and theoretical partners. Thus, do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in collaborating.
