How can AI advance modern medicine and unearth life-saving treatments for people around the world?
This week on Possible, Aria and I sit down with Dr. David Fajgenbaum, physician, scientist, and rare disease survivor who repurposes existing drugs to save lives—including his own. In this special episode, filmed live in New York City, David shares his inspiring journey from being read his last rites as a young medical student to co-founding Every Cure, a nonprofit using AI to make use of existing drugs to treat every disease and every patient possible. We explore the circuit of hope, action, and impact that drives medical discovery; the ethical and technical challenges around accelerating AI in healthcare; and what a future of faster diagnoses and treatment could look like. The result is a conversation about resilience, innovation, and unlocking cures that are already within our reach.
