Summary
Omid Bazgir is a Principal Applied Scientist based in South San Francisco with eight years of experience applying geometric deep learning, causal modeling, and agentic LLMs to drug development and bioinformatics. He led and architected GRASP at Genentech, building multimodal GNNs and neural-ODE pipelines for mechanistic pharmacology and adverse event prediction, and has a track record of translating research (e.g., REFINED) into award-winning clinical prediction systems. His work spans the full ML lifecycle—research, MLOps/CI-CD, and production—combining a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering with hands-on contributions to medical imaging, survival modeling, and super-resolution. Known for a deep fascination with graph theory, he blends theoretical rigor with practical engineering to accelerate translational drug discovery.
