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. Nowak is an Austrian biologist and mathematici
