Dr. David Fajgenbaum found a cure for his deadly Castleman's disease with a repurposed drug. In this tour de force talk at NextMed Health, David shares his incredible journey from patient, to researcher 'Chasing his Cure', to now leading a center at University of Pennsylvania, and founding EveryCure.org focused on finding repurposed drugs for many rare diseases.

How many cures sit on pharmacy shelves, while patients suffer, and the data linking those drugs and rare diseases sit in plain site? 3,000 Medicines are FDA approved for 3,0000 diseases, leaving 9,000 diseases without a single approved medicine.

EveryCure is focused on "Unleashing the potential of every approved medicine to treat every disease possible, and to save every life possible with existing drugs." Leveraging new partners, incentives, databases and algorithms with AI to find promising disease-drug links to rapid clinical trials.
