Dr. Fagenbaum founded EveryCure, a nonprofit using AI to identify existing drugs that can be repurposed to treat other diseases.

The nonprofit EveryCure, co-founded by Dr. Fagenbaum, uses artificial intelligence to scan existing drugs and diseases to find potential new treatments. This approach aims to save lives by repurposing drugs that are already available.

Dr. Fagenbaum discovered that a communication line in his immune system was overactive, leading to his illness. He identified a drug, Cerolimus, that could turn off this line, leading to his remission.

Dr. Fagenbaum co-founded Every Cure, a nonprofit using AI to repurpose existing drugs for untreatable conditions.

Dr. Fagenbaum's discovery of a drug that saved his life led him to wonder how many other drugs could treat more diseases. He believes there are hidden cures in existing medications.

We've done this with healthy volunteers already. More importantly, the NCI then designated us to treat patients without cancer, i.e. patients with what we call Lynch syndrome.

The success of Cerolimus in treating Dr. Fagenbaum's condition led him to wonder how many other existing drugs could treat different diseases, sparking the idea for EveryCure.

The U.S. government and philanthropists are funding EveryCure's work to find new uses for medicines, aiming to save money in the healthcare system by using existing drugs more effectively.

The nonprofit EveryCure is working to ensure that all 4,000 FDA-approved drugs are used for every disease they can possibly treat.

We can now activate the natural killer cell and understand what receptor is on that cell. If you inject IL-15, a protein your body makes, you can attack cancer of all types.
