Gorayeb Recording Secretary EFTA00639492 _=====draft of letter========= Denise A. Gorayeb Recording Secretary Harvard University ISM Dear Ms Gorayeb, Gift for Martin Nowak's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics Harvard Fund Number: 347150 I would like to donate a gift in the amount of $ 4,000,000 in support of Professor Martin Nowak's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics (PED), located at 1 Brattle Square, Cambridge. This gift is supposed to cover the maintenance of space and occupancy, equipment, supplies and administrative staff, and contribute towards expenses associated with research staff, summer salaries, students, visitors and events. I understand that Harvard fund number 347150 is ready to accept such donations. I am extremely impressed by Professor Nowak's contributions to mathematical biology and evolutionary dynamics. He has assembled the worlds leading research group in this area. His work is truly multi-disciplinary and highly innovative. Please send me a receipt for tax purposes. Thank you. Yours sincerely, (Please enclose a check payable to: "President and Fellows of Harvard College." In the check's memo section, please designate the allocation of the gift: "PED Harvard Fund Number 347150) Begin forwarded message: c From: Martin Nowak > Date: December 15, 2014 at 5:19:16 PM EST To: Richard Kahn EFTA00639493 richard, great to talk. below please find a narrative of my work and the program. please let me know if you need any further information. best wishes martin Martin A. Nowak is Professor of Biology and of Mathematics at Harvard University and Director of the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics. He works on the mathematical description of evolutionary processes including the evolution of cooperation and human language, the dynamics of virus infections and human cancer. His major scientific discoveries include: the mechanism of HIV disease progression, the rapid turnover and evolution of drug resistance in HIV infection, quantifying the dynamics of HBV infection, evolution of virulence under superinfection and coinfection, the role of chromosomal instability in human cancer, quantifying the dynamics of chronic myeloid leukemia, evolution of drug resistance in targeted cancer therapy, evolution of genetic redundancy, five mechanisms for the evolution of cooperation, generous tit-for-tat and win- stay, lose-shift, the alternating prisoner's dilemma, evolution of cooperation by indirect reciprocity, spatial game dynamics, adaptive dynamics, evolutionary game dynamics in finite populations, evolutionary graph theory, evolution of eusociality by natural selection, a mathematical approach the evolution of human language, prelife and the origin of evolution. Martin Nowak studied biochemistry and mathematics at the University of Vienna. He received his Ph.D. sub auspiciis praesidentis in 1989. He went to the University of Oxford as an Erwin Schrgoedinger Scholar and worked there with Robert May, the later Lord May of Oxford, with whom he co-authored numerous articles and his first book, "Virus Dynamics". Nowak held Junior Research Fellowships at Wolfson College and Keble College. He was a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellow. In 1997 Nowak became Professor of Mathematical Biology in Oxford. In 1998 he moved to Princeton to establish the first program in theoretical biology at the Institute for Advanced Study. He received his present position at Harvard University in 2003. A corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Nowak is the recipient of several prizes including the Weldon Memorial Prize of Oxford University, the David Starr Jordan Prize of Stanford University and the Akira Okubo Prize. Nowak is the author of over 400 papers and four books. "Evolutionary Dynamics" (2006) provides an overview of the powerful yet simple laws that govern the evolution of living systems. "SupeiCooperators" (2011) argues that cooperation is the third fundamental principle of evolution beside mutation and selection. The Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard University was established in 2003. It is an multi-disciplinary research group at the interface of biology, mathematics, physics, economics and EFTA00639494 computer science. The Program is headed by Martin Nowak and contains visiting professors, research scientists, graduate students and undergraduate students. EFTA00639495
