Welcome to my homepage!  I am a fourth year doctoral student in the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University.  My undergraduate work was done in the Mathematics Department at Rutgers University.   My primary research interest is mathematical biology, with an emphasis on cancer biology.  I am currently working on my PhD thesis in the Complex Materials Theory Group under the supervision of Professor Salvatore Torquato.  My project involves modeling glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) growth and invasion.  __________________________________________________________________________________ Publications: 1.  Gevertz, J., Gan, H.H., Schlick, T., 2005.  In vitro RNA random pools are not structurally diverse: a computational analysis.  RNA 11(6): 853-863. 2.  Gevertz, J., Dunn, S., Roth, C.M., 2005.  Mathematical model of real-time PCR kinetics.  Biotechnology and Bioengineering 92(3): 346-355. 3.  Gevertz, J.L., Torquato, S., 2006.  Modeling the effects of vasculature evolution on early brain tumor growth.  Journal of Theoretical Biology 243(4): 517-531.    ________________________________________________________________________________ Relevant Links: Current Research Curriculum Vitae:  HTML, PDF Previous Research Groups Computational Biology/Chemistry and Biomathematics Group at New York University Molecular Systems Bioengineering Group at Rutgers University P element website: Summary of an independent study project done with Réka Letso under the supervision of Terry McGuire at Rutgers University.
