WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE FOR: Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation is known for establishing the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at [[Harvard University]]. <ref name="reuters" />The Program for Evolutionary Dynamics is the first academic department to study the evolution of molecular biology and with the use of mathematics. It is also the first entity to develop mathematical models of how human cancer cells evolve as well as viruses such as HIV. <ref name="ped.harvard" /> The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation started the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics with a $30 million dollar grant in 2003. [(Martin Nowak]), Professor of Mathematics and Biology at Harvard University, is its Director. <ref name="reuters" k<ref>({cite news' url=http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2003/6/5/people-in-the-news-jeffrey-e/ The Harvard Crimson I newspaper=The Harvard Crimsonfigref> In 2012, the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics under the direction of Martin Nowak and with post- doctoral students, Benjamin Allen and Ivana Bozic, developed the first mathematical model of how human cancer cells evolve and specifically how they become immune to inhibitor therapy treatment. <ref name="news.harvard" />Their research was conducted from the request of the Pathology and Oncology Department at [(John Hopkins University]]. The Department was trying to understand how the KRAS gene in colon cancer cells becomes activated after inhibitor drug therapy, making the cells resistant to treatment. <ref name="news.harvard" /> By developing a mathematical model of colon cancer cell growth, Nowak and his team, showed how the KRAS gene is not actually activated or 'switched on' from inhibitor drugs but rather a small percentage of colon cancer cells with an already activated KRAS gene are immune from the start and evolve to predominance as the other cancer cells are destroyed by t
