Molecular Simulations and Force Field Development Laboratory
About us
Welcome to the molecular simulations and force field development laboratory at Indian Institute of Technology – Gandhinagar. Our group uses computational methods to study bio-systems with applications especially at the interface of biology, material science and nanotechnology. The group has a strong focus on both method development and applications.
