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.
The Center for Computational Systems Biology (CCSB) at Prairie View A&M University continues to advance cutting-edge multidisciplinary inquiry spanning artificial intelligence, genomics, and agricultural science. Driving innovation in 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, while co-authoring a comprehensive review on deep learning in drug-target binding affinity with Jafin Khan. Breakthroughs in multi-omics and precision health were achieved through single-cell DNA methylation modeling by Thanmayee Yeluri and Dr. Seungchan Kim—research Thanmayee Yeluri will present at DTMBIO 2026—as well as collaborative perspectives on NIH T32 artificial intelligence training for precision nutrition co-authored by Dr. Seungchan Kim and Dr. Janet Antwi. Demonstrating comprehensive community and environmental impact, the center also hosted Dr. Yulyu Yeh for a vital seminar on family health history cancer prevention in underserved populations, while agricultural researchers Dr. Tesfamichael H. Kebrom, Shantal A. Taylor, Wardah Mustahsan, Dr. Selamawit Woldesenbet, Almoutaz Elhassan, and Dr. Ripendra Awal revealed how seed size influences manure phytotoxicity bioassay outcomes.
