The Loverde laboratory utilizes all-atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to investigate properties of soft and biological materials. We are also interested in characterizing the stability of macromolecular assemblies composed by proteins and/or nucleic acids. We are a strong group of extremely motivated and talented students.
Dr. Loverde has mentored numerous undergraduate students from the Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, and Computer Science programs at CUNY College of Staten Island and multiple graduate students from the CUNY Graduate Center in Physics, Chemistry, and Biochemistry. Students mentored by the Loverde laboratory have obtained computational chemistry internships and positions in pharmaceutical companies (Takeda) and scientific software development companies (OpenEye, Schrodinger), as well as private research companies (Flatiron Institute, DESRES).

Analysis primarily done by first author Prabir Khatua. Supporting authors: Abhik Ghosh Moulick, Rutika Patel, Anjela Manandhar. Publication here.
Why do a PhD rotation with the Loverde laboratory?
Rotation students will be exposed to either coarse-grained or all-atomistic molecular dynamics utilizing Gromacs, LAMMPS, Amber, NAMD, etc.Rotation students will learn how to set-up, run, and analyze molecular dynamics simulations.Rotation students will learn how to use the CUNY High Performance Computing Center, NSF ACCESS supercomputing resources, and more.Interested grad students please email to inquire about applying to the CUNY Graduate Center programs in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Physics. In order to apply for the CUNY PhD programs you should apply on line:
