After attending an event in 2022 organized by Banyan Tree Women’s Collective, Tu was inspired to get involved and give back to the community in whatever capacity she can. Currently, Tu is a senior principal scientist at Genentech. Being trained professionally as a clinical pharmacologist, Tu has a passion not only for collecting data but also for presenting the data truthfully, meaningfully, and aesthetically to deliver important stories. Tu plans to utilize this skillset to help her colleagues at BTWC expand the organization so that Banyan can have both wider and deeper connections within the communities we serve. Tu earned her PhD degree from Vanderbilt University.
“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”
