Markus W. Covert (born April 24, 1973) is a researcher and professor of bioengineering at Stanford University who led the simulation of the first organism in software.[1][2][3] Covert leads an interdisciplinary lab of approximately 10 graduate students and post-doctoral scholars.[4]

Education

Covert received a B.S. in chemical engineering from Brigham Young University.[citation needed] He received a Ph.D. in bioengineering and bioinformatics from the University of California, San Diego in 2003[citation needed] for his investigations into the interaction between microbial metabolism and transcriptional regulation under the supervision of Bernhard Palsson.[5] He did his post-doctoral training in mammalian cell signaling at the California Institute of Technology under the supervision of David Baltimore.[6]

Honors and distinctions

  • NIH Director's Pioneer Award, 2009[7]
