Top SchoolTao Xu is a Principal Data Scientist based in Basel with 13 years of experience applying biostatistics, epidemiology, and multi-omics analytics to diagnostics and drug-discovery problems. After a PhD in epidemiology, he progressed from academic metabolomics and causal inference studies into industry roles building LC-MS and proteomics pipelines and analytical platforms at Helmholtz, Evotec and now Roche. He combines deep domain expertise in metabolomics, mass-spectrometry data and causal methods with hands-on pipeline development and production biostatistics for IVD systems. Known for bridging teams across research and product, he consistently turns complex multi-level omics signals into actionable biomarkers and diagnostic insights. An unusual strength is his blend of systems administration and software pipeline experience alongside rigorous epidemiological research, enabling both reproducible science and scalable deployment.
