Love seeing this so much. #chasingmycure

Thinking back 13 years ago when I was fighting for my life in the ICU, I thought that there was no chance that I would survive.

Nothing would have changed if I hadn't gone from just fighting to survive to fighting for a solution for my disease.

Through my center at the…

I almost died five times before discovering that the cure to my rare and deadly disease was just a couple blocks away in my neighborhood pharmacy.

It begs the question, what other hidden cures are sitting on the pharmacy shelf waiting to be unlocked? #MedTwitter Every Cure

In this video from my talk at CZI Science annual meeting, I discuss the differences between traditional drug repurposing, indication expansion, and what Every Cure is terming Therapeutic Crosspurposing.

Let me know your thoughts!

What are your thoughts on Ozempic?

This drug is the most talked about repurposing example in the mainstream media because of its unintended weight loss effect.

However what it highlights for me is that often, unexpected benefits emerge during clinical trials, and while weight…
