Welcome to CCSB@PVAMU
The Center for Computational Systems Biology at the Prairie View A&M University (CCSB@PVAMU) was established in 2017, by a funding from the Texas A&M University Systems Chancellor’s Research Initiative (CRI) to become a nationally recognized computational systems biology research center.
Advancing computational biology through high-impact discoveries, the Center for Computational Systems Biology at Prairie View A&M University continues to lead groundbreaking initiatives across multi-omics, AI-driven therapeutics, precision nutrition, and agricultural bioassays. Dr. Seungchan Kim and Ph.D. candidate Thanmayee Yeluri are pioneering multimodal machine learning frameworks for single-cell DNA methylation prediction—a breakthrough set for a short talk at DTMBIO 2026—while Dr. Seungchan Kim and Dr. Janet Antwi collaborate nationally on NIH T32 precision nutrition training strategies. Catalyzing next-generation computational therapeutics, Dr. Md Hossain Shuvo secured an NSF Research Initiation Award for explainable protein function prediction alongside a PVAMU RISE award for trustworthy drug discovery AI, building directly upon a comprehensive review of deep learning drug-target binding affinity with Jafin Khan. Broadening community genomic outreach, Dr. Yulyu Yeh shared vital insights on family health history for cancer prevention in underserved populations, while agricultural sustainability progressed through investigations led by Dr. Tesfamichael H. Kebrom, Shantal A. Taylor, Wardah Mustahsan, Dr. Selamawit Woldesenbet, Dr. Almoutaz Elhassan, and Dr. Ripendra Awal demonstrating that seed size critically impacts manure phytotoxicity bioassays.
