About Every Cure

Every Cure is an AI-driven nonprofit, biotech organization on a mission to save and improve lives by repurposing existing medicines for diseases with significant unmet need. Our vision is a world where no patients suffer when there’s a treatment sitting at their local pharmacy that could be repurposed to treat them. We are filling a gap left by the current biomedical system, which doesn’t pursue new uses for cheap, old drugs. 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 is advancing repurposed treatments for neglected diseases and has been featured in New York Times, USA Today, and Good Morning America. 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 Elevate Prize Foundation and a federal contract with ARPA-H.

Our Approach

• 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.
• Rigorous Validation: Promising opportunities are thoroughly validated through laboratory and clinical studies to confirm their efficacy and safety before advancing to broader application.
• Global Access: We are committed to ensuring that new cures are accessible to all patients.

Role Overview

Every Cure is seeking a mission-driven Research Fellow (industry Scientist-Scientist II equivalent) to evaluate, nominate, and advance high-potential drug repurposing opportunities. Reporting to the Vice President of Discovery, this role is critical to shaping our evidence-based strategy by rigorously assessing therapeutic potential, feasibility, and impact. The Research Fellow will work cross-functionally with disease experts, internal teams, and our Scientific Advisory Committee to bridge knowledge gaps and drive forward research plans encompassing lab experiments, real-world data analysis, clinical trials, and public dissemination efforts. While disease-area expertise is welcome, this individual must be a generalist by nature with a deep interest in better understanding a wide range of disease-relevant biology.

How You Will Make an Impact

• Evaluate Drug Repurposing Opportunities: Conduct in-depth reviews of potential drug repurposing candidates to assess therapeutic likelihood, feasibility, and impact, while identifying key knowledge gaps.
• Develop and Execute Strategic Advancement Plans: Design research plans, including laboratory experiments, real-world studies, and clinical trials to validate a repurposing opportunity and ensure patient impact.
• Collaborate with Experts, Stakeholders, and Research Organizations: Engage with disease specialists to gain insights, perform data analyses and meta-analyses, and develop approaches for evaluating drug repurposing opportunities. Coordinate sponsored research with commercial and academic organizations to advance a program.
• Contribute to Team and Organizational Goals: Mentor junior team members.
