Program Director
National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences
Dr. Elebeoba May currently serves as a Program Director for the Systems and Synthetic Biology (SSB) Cluster in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences within the NSF Biological Sciences Directorate. The SSB program supports highly interdisciplinary research that uses the tools of systems and synthetic biology to understand complex interactions within biological systems across different scales. As an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Houston, Dr. May’s research focuses on the integration of computational and experimental platforms for the development of multi-scale, predictive models of host-pathogen interactions, microbial communities, and genetic information processing systems.
