Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Ruben Michael Ceballos's research interests encompass viral evolution, cellular biology, and educational methodologies. He is a Co-Principal Investigator on the BII: Host-Virus Evolutionary Dynamics Institute (HVEDI) project, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for $6,100,000. This significant award supports investigations into the evolutionary interactions between hosts and viruses.
His recent publications explore diverse areas including the genetic potential of microbial strains for polysaccharide degradation, modifications of cellulose-based biomaterials for biomedical applications, and the differential impacts of human herpesvirus 6A and 6B on neural stem cells. Ceballos has also investigated gene expression analysis pipelines using cancer bioinformatic tools and the development of effective semi-fed-batch saccharification processes for lignocellulose degradation. His work extends to educational research, with publications examining the effectiveness and implementation of remote undergraduate research programs during the COVID-19 pandemic, including studies on virtual learning environments and the analysis of gene expression data in classroom settings.
Ceballos has a publication record of 50 papers with 1,089 citations and an h-index of 10. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Yeasin Ahmed, Mercede Furr, Thallapuranam Krishnaswamy Suresh Kumar, and Zeina Alraawi, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. He maintains an active laboratory website.
