PED is interested in every aspect of mathematical biology, but the common theme of our research is evolution. Evolution is the single theory that permeates all of biology.

Some of our recent studies include evolution of cooperation by indirect reciprocity, evolutionary graph theory, network reciprocity, group selection, somatic evolution of human cancer and evolution of language.

Cooperating with the future

A new experimental model explores which mechanisms maintain cooperation with future generations
Antiretroviral dynamics determines HIV evolution and predicts therapy outcome

A mathematical model predicts treatment outcomes among classes of anti-HIV drugs
Why we help

Far from being a nagging exception to the rule of evolution, cooperation has been one of its primary architects
The molecular evolution of acquired resistance to targeted EGFR blockade in colorectal cancers

A multidrug approach to treatment may overcome resistance issues in cancer management
Evolution: Selection for positive illusions

Having an overly positive self-image might confer an evolutionary advantage if the rewards outweigh the risks
