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 14, 2026

The CCSB is at the forefront of computational systems biology, driving innovation in AI-driven drug discovery and precision health. Dr. Md Hossain Shuvo recently secured an NSF Research Initiation Award and a PVAMU RISE Undergraduate Award, focusing on trustworthy, explainable AI for protein function prediction and computational therapeutics. Concurrently, Dr. Victoria Mgbemena leads a TAMUS REF Early Stage Grant to characterize Alzheimer’s disease with a novel Fyn Kinase inhibitor, collaborating with Dr. Seungchan Kim. Our faculty also continues to publish impactful research, with Dr. Tesfamichael Kebrom exploring seed size effects on manure phytotoxicity, and Dr. Seungchan Kim contributing to NIH T32 programs on AI for precision nutrition, further solidifying our commitment to advancing interdisciplinary science.
