Drug Repurposing
Leading Drug Repurposing Efforts
The Center for Cytokine Storm Treatment & Laboratory (CSTL), under the leadership of Dr. David Fajgenbaum, is committed to the discovery of new uses for existing drugs to save patients’ lives. There are ~3,000 drugs currently FDA approved to treat ~3,000 of the ~20,000 human diseases. No treatments exist for the vast majority of diseases, many of which are rare and deadly. The CSTL is partnering with Every Cure to pioneer novel approaches to rapidly identifying and advancing drug repurposing opportunities..
