Known as “the doctor who cured himself,” David Fajgenbaum, M.D., MBA, MSc, is a groundbreaking physician-scientist who has battled Castleman disease and spearheaded the Castleman Disease Collaborative Network. His innovative research methods led to the identification of 17 repurposed treatments for various diseases, including COVID-19.

Dr. Fajgenbaum co-founded Every Cure to unlock the full potential of existing drugs to treat numerous conditions. Dr. Fajgenbaum’s story, detailed in Chasing My Cure, highlights his resilience and dedication to turning hope into action.
