From Chasing My Cure to Chasing COVID’s Cure
May 21, 2020
Can you imagine someone almost died in a hospital five times? Dr. David Fajgenbaum, MD, MBA, MSc nearly did when he was a medical student in his 20s when he was diagnosed with an obscure but deadly disease that was little understood, one for which his doctors had no cure and little in the way of treatment. After coming to death's door for the fifth time, he decided to search for treatment himself.
We felt so cordial and honored having Dr. Fajgenbaum join our webinar a few days before on Thursday, May 21st.
What you will hear about in this video:
- Dr. Fajgenbaum's incredible experience along the journey in terms of how he conducted the search/ research, trying to find a potential treatment for his condition by crowdsourcing the medical knowledge and experiencing his illness around the world.
- How the organization Dr. Fajgenhaum formed is now applying its techniques accumulated throughout his fight to the quest for a treatment for COVID-19.
Invited guests:
Dr. David Fajgenbaum, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Translational Medicine & Human Genetics, University of Pennsylvania.
Ms. Echo Hindle-Yang, President & CEO, will be moderating this discussion.
