Boris Nikolic

Court Filing

Gates's science advisor; introduced Gates to Epstein; named in Epstein's will

Croatian-American immunologist and venture capitalist who served as Chief Science Advisor to Bill Gates and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Nikolic was introduced to Jeffrey Epstein by Melanie Walker, and the two developed a friendship. Nikolic facilitated the first meeting between Bill Gates and Epstein at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse in 2010. He was controversially named as a fallback executor in Epstein's will, signed just two days before Epstein's death in August 2019 — a designation Nikolic publicly disavowed through a spokesperson, stating he was 'shocked' and would not serve. Nikolic later co-founded Biomatics Capital, a healthcare-focused venture capital firm in Seattle.
