Victoria McGovern

I manage BWF's PUP program and our about-to-launch new training grant which will focus on developing model-and statistical-thinking in life-science graduate students. As a biochemist interested in DNA structure and chromosome compaction, I grew up in a field that is in touch with its modeling side. My other job at the Fund is running the infectious diseases program, including its genomic, bioinformatic, and high-throughput side projects. My hobby at the Fund is thinking about the PhD workforce, and that has gotten me interested in econometrics and network analysis around understanding research institutions as systems.
