Welcome to CCSB@PVAMU

The Center for Computational Systems Biology (CCSB) is driving innovative research at the intersection of computational science and biological systems, marked by recent breakthroughs and significant grant awards. Dr. Md Hossain Shuvo secured an NSF Research Initiation Award to develop ethical and explainable AI for protein function prediction, building on his prior work in protein-protein interface quality estimation using equivariant graph neural networks. Dr. Victoria Mgbemena, with Dr. Seungchan Kim and collaborators, leads a TAMUS REF Early Stage Grant targeting Alzheimer’s disease with a novel Fyn Kinase inhibitor. Further advancing our understanding of biological complexity, Dr. Tesfamichael H. Kebrom published on seed size’s influence on manure phytotoxicity bioassays, while Dr. Seungchan Kim contributed to training perspectives in AI for precision nutrition. The center also explores crucial areas like cybercrime as a socio-technical system and data augmentation via diffusion models to enhance AI fairness, underscoring a commitment to impactful, multidisciplinary research.
