#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

And so, like, we at EveryCure feel that we got to make sure that up-to-date pages are up-to-date, and we also got to make sure that we get the word out to people that don't have access to it.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

It would.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

And that's what we're hoping to do with EveryCure.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

And I'd love any ideas you have for how to get it out.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

I mean, that's all we care about.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

It's like the drugs we got should treat all the patients who could benefit from the drugs.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

And it's like we got to just figure out how to make that match.

More podcasts.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

I totally agree.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

How does that not exist?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

Yeah, it's sort of the kind of thing that we all think someone must have done or there must be something like that.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

And then you sort of sit around and then all of a sudden you realize like,

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

If no one else is gonna do it, I guess we have to do it.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

You know, it's like, I guess somehow these things just, everyone's got their lane, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

And it's like sort of, oftentimes we lose track and there isn't someone who's taking that big picture look.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

Sure.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

So we use something called a biomedical knowledge graph, which is basically like if you took every drug, disease, gene, protein, everything you can imagine that's related to medicine and bioscience and just put it on the wall, like mapped it up, and then you put connections between every one of those things.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?

So we know that

The Shawn Ryan Show

interleukin 6 is elevated in castleman disease and you'd put that onto your map you'd map every single concept and then the relationship between everyone you'd create a map that basically represents what we know about all of medicine like every drug every disease every gene every relationship between all of them so now you've got sort of a map of what we know about all of medicine and then we train machine learning algorithms on treatments that we know work like we say siltuximab treats castleman disease
