Dave Wilkins is the research program director of St. Jude Global’s DIVIA project, which aims to provide a cloud-based molecular genetics diagnostic solution to St. Jude’s global partners. Prior to St. Jude, Wilkins was the COO of the Institute of Human Virology, where for 19 years he implemented an annual $80-$120 million PEPFAR program in 12 countries in Africa and the Caribbean.
Wilkins received his bachelor's degree in engineering from the University of Michigan and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He lives in Lakeland, Tennessee, with his wife, Stephanie. Outside of work, he is passionate about surfing, ultimate frisbee, skiing (both water and snow), playing guitar, and enjoying outdoor activities with friends — not necessarily in that order.
