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]
