Harvard geneticist who received Epstein funding
George Church, a Harvard geneticist, maintained ongoing professional contact with Jeffrey Epstein from 2006 through at least 2014, including meetings and phone calls. Church received $686,000 in funding from the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation between 2005-2007 for his research. After Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, Church continued to meet with Epstein several times annually through at least 2014. In 2019, Church publicly apologized for his contacts with Epstein, citing poor judgment and 'nerd tunnel vision.' Church is currently part of Harvard University's expanded investigation into Epstein's connections to faculty and donors, but no arrest, charges, conviction, or legal action against Church has been reported. Church has denied knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities and expressed regret about the association.
George Church, a Harvard geneticist, received funding from Jeffrey Epstein's foundation for his Personal Genome Project, which housed Epstein's blood sample and sparked a lab crisis, and later apologized for their post-conviction ties citing nerd tunnel vision.
