Trevor Bedford is an American computational virologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.^[1]

Education and career

Bedford graduated with a BA in Biological Sciences from the University of Chicago in 2002 and obtained a Ph.D in Biology from Harvard University in 2008.^[1]

In 2020, he posted on Twitter about the first known community transmission of COVID-19 in the United States. That action was later cited as one of the actions that helped galvanize a rapid response to Covid on a national scale.^[2]

In September 2021, he received a 7-year $9 million grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Later that same month, he was named as part of that year's MacArthur Fellows Program class.^[3]
