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.

Center Highlights & Status Week of September 28, 2026

The Center for Computational Systems Biology (CCSB) at Prairie View A&M University continues to advance multidisciplinary discovery across computational biology, precision nutrition, and community health. Thanmayee Yeluri, advised by Dr. Seungchan Kim, will present her research on multimodal single-cell DNA methylation prediction as a short talk at DTMBIO 2026 in Osaka, Japan. In community health, the CCSB Seminar Series recently featured Dr. Yulyu Yeh, who presented on building community capacity for cancer prevention through family health history and community health workers. On the genomics and agriculture front, Dr. Tesfamichael H. Kebrom, Shantal A. Taylor, Wardah Mustahsan, Selamawit Woldesenbet, Almoutaz Elhassan, and Ripendra Awal reported new insights into seed size influences on manure phytotoxicity bioassays. Concurrently, Dr. Seungchan Kim and national collaborators, led by Saurabh Mehta, published findings in The Journal of Nutrition outlining interdisciplinary training perspectives from the NIH T32 Artificial Intelligence for Precision Nutrition programs.
