Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Rozen is a senior bioinformatics leader and computational scientist with ~20 years' experience bridging database-driven computer science and multi-omic biomedical research. He founded and led the Duke-NUS Centre for Computational Biology, co-authored the reference paper on mutational signatures (one of two corresponding authors) and has an academic record evidenced by an h-index of 81 and major cancer genomics discoveries cited thousands of times. A PhD in computer science informs his strong software and data-engineering practice — he developed and maintained the widely used Primer3 tool and has released multiple R packages while building reproducible lab-to-clinic analysis pipelines. He combines hands-on algorithm and software development (now including Python transformer models for variant effects) with strategic leadership of multidisciplinary wet-lab and computational teams. Recognized by the AACR Team Science Award, he has repeatedly translated mutational signature methods into real-world discoveries such as carcinogen exposure and cancer landscape elucidation. Based in Durham, NC, he currently directs Bioinformatics and Research Computing at Duke, bringing rare depth across academia, open software, and large-scale genomics programs.
