Epstein Secrets

ys on the move but nowhere has it been more in flux than at Harvard University. Indeed ten years ago, an Austrian biologist and mathematician called Martin Nowak, at the Advanced Institute for Studies at Princeton, met with an unknown New York financier called Jeffrey Epstein, to discuss the evolution of lan

Jeffrey Epstein, who cultivates brilliant scientists, a virtual salon of Nobel luminaries and other such geniuses, put Martin Nowak in charge of his new department and called it the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics or PED. PED quickly became one of the first departments to study

And by creating the first mathematical models of how human cancer cells, viruses and bacteria evolve, Nowak and his graduate team have identified groundbreaking steps to treat these diseases more effectively.
