Background

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. Documents from Dataset 11 confirm Nikolic was in active, friendly communication with Epstein as late as March 2019 - just four months before Epstein's arrest.

In an email dated March 3, 2019 (EFTA02632987), Nikolic wrote to Epstein: "Please let me know when you know. Would love to see you. How are you?" In a related exchange (EFTA02631778), Nikolic shared personnel recommendations with Epstein, discussing a former Google/Apple/Microsoft employee who had previously been a priest.

Transcribed Interview of Bill Gates, House Oversight Committee, June 10, 2026
2026-06-10 · House-oversight · Testimony
A 138-page transcribed interview of William H. Gates, III by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, held in Room 2154 of the Rayburn House Office Building on June 10, 2026 and running from 10:00 a.m. to 3:43 p.m. Gates appeared voluntarily with counsel John Moran of McGuireWoods and Tom Clare of Clare Locke LLP. Peter Spectre, director of oversight for Chairman James Comer, stated on the record that the interview was requested under House Rule X as part of the Committee's investigation into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the operation of sex trafficking rings, "the ways in which Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell sought to curry favor and exercise influence to protect their illegal activities," and potential ethics violations by elected officials. Questioning alternated in hour-long majority and minority rounds. In an opening statement Gates said he was introduced to Epstein in 2011 by people he trusted, that Epstein claimed he could raise billions for global health from people he advised on taxes and estates, that no giving vehicle was created and no funds were raised, and that meeting Epstein was "a grave error in judgment." Majority counsel worked through three Epstein emails released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the economics of science adviser Boris Nikolic's exit, an August 2013 Seattle meeting and the thank-you note that followed, three extramarital affairs, a $2 million MIT donation, a Southern Trust Company contract naming Gates, law-enforcement contacts and a roll call of names. Minority counsel moved chronologically through Epstein's calendars and estate photographs. Members questioned Gates about Melanie Walker, the September 2014 donor meetings, and whether women he saw around Epstein were victims.
