Roger Tu is a Senior Data Scientist in San Diego with seven years of experience applying deep learning, graph neural networks and biomedical knowledge graphs to biomarker discovery and drug repurposing. He holds a PhD in Computational Biology & Bioinformatics from Scripps Research and has moved research-grade graph and ML methods into industry roles at Rancho BioSciences. Roger combines hands-on skills in data engineering (polars/pandas), FAIR data harmonization, and model fine-tuning of LLMs and GNNs to produce explainable predictions for new therapeutic uses of existing drugs. His background in upstream bioprocess development and early work on cost-saving stem cell culture methods gives him an uncommon cross-disciplinary perspective bridging wet lab constraints and computational discovery.
