About Every Cure:

Every Cure is an AI-driven nonprofit, biotech organization that was founded to uncover and repurpose existing drugs to treat the millions of patients who suffer from diseases without approved treatments. By focusing on drug repurposing, we aim to provide affordable and accessible therapies for those suffering from diseases that are often overlooked in traditional drug development. Through artificial intelligence technologies, collaboration with healthcare professionals, and patient advocacy, Every Cure is dedicated to unlocking the full potential of existing medicines to treat every disease and every patient we possibly can. Inspired by Every Cure’s co-founders' work repurposing drugs for Castleman disease and other rare diseases, Every Cure has advanced repurposed treatments for neglected diseases and been featured in USA Today, Good Morning America, and Wall Street Journal. Led by a talented leadership team and an outstanding Board of Directors, Every Cure is supported through funding from leading philanthropic organizations like Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and TED’s Audacious Project and a federal contract with ARPA-H.

• AI-Powered Identification: We use advanced artificial intelligence to analyze the world’s biomedical knowledge and identify FDA-approved drugs that can be repurposed for untreated conditions. This cutting-edge technology enables us to explore new therapeutic possibilities efficiently.  
• Open-Source Commitment: We are dedicated to making our predictive pipeline open-source, fostering collaboration and transparency within the scientific community and unlocking the potential for discovering new treatments. 
• High-Impact Focus: We prioritize drug repurposing opportunities that can benefit neglected patient communities, ensuring our efforts address the most pressing needs.
