Dr. David Fajgenbaum - One Doctor’s Battle to Save Himself and Others

What if the cure we need for some deadly condition is already sitting on the pharmacy shelf, just waiting to be matched to the right disease? A whole field of research has emerged with the goal of repurposing an existing drug for a different disease than the one it was originally developed to treat. Now, with the potential of AI to scan billions of possible drug-disease combinations, this area of research has just been turbo charged. Some believe it could transform how medicine is practiced. We’ll talk about multi-system organ failure, drug repurposing at scale, and the surprising number of proven therapies that are gathering dust simply because no one is spreading the word. It's a story about science, survival, and the untapped potential of what we already have.
