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 November 9, 2026

The Center for Computational Systems Biology (CCSB) at Prairie View A&M University continues to advance multidisciplinary discovery spanning artificial intelligence, genomics, and computational engineering. As part of the CCSB Seminar Series, Dr. Kazeem Olanrewaju will present numerical modeling of glucose formation and oligosaccharide transformation in the proximal small intestine, Dr. Chaodong Wu of Texas A&M University will explore the therapeutic potential of gut microbiota metabolites in metabolic diseases, and Dr. Lujun Zhai recently shared insights into AI-enabled RTL generation and physical design optimization. In recent publications, Dr. Xishuang Dong and collaborators introduced counterfactual item-invariance regularization for calibrated deep knowledge tracing in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence, community-informed benchmarking of culturally competent generative AI (REACH-AI 2026) at ACM CIKM, and AI-driven tree placement frameworks for residential heat mitigation in Building and Environment, while Thanmayee Yeluri and Dr. Seungchan Kim established a multimodal machine learning framework for single-cell DNA methylation prediction.
