Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Kovacs is a Senior Scientist and structural evolutionary biologist with a PhD in Bioinformatics and 12 years of experience applying computational genomics to viral surveillance and therapeutics. He has led genomic analyses at the CDC—risk-assessing emerging influenza variants and contributing to SARS-CoV-2 response efforts—translating complex sequence and structural data into decisions that inform vaccine strain selection. At Invivyd he focuses on viral protein structure and antibody therapeutics, bridging evolutionary insight with practical therapeutic design. His academic work mining ribosome structure for the evolution of protein complexity reflects a strong foundation in macromolecular structure and data-driven hypothesis generation. Comfortable moving between hands-on bioinformatics and strategic public-health science, he combines rigorous computational methods with collaborative, translational impact. Based in Atlanta, he pairs bench-to-computation perspective with experience mentoring trainees and fostering international research collaborations.
