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. We are working to create a world where every drug is used to treat every disease it possibly can, so that no patient suffers when an existing treatment could help them. Rather than starting with a single disease or drug, we take an “all-vs-all" approach, systematically looking across every FDA-approved drug and every known disease to surface repurposing opportunities most likely to help patients. We are also the first organization to take end-to-end ownership of that process: from identifying promising repurposing opportunities, to validating it in the lab and/or clinic, to working with physicians, payers, and patient advocacy groups to get it to the patients who need it. We are filling a gap left by the current biomedical system, which doesn’t systematically pursue new uses for old drugs. Every Cure pairs AI-driven prediction with rigorous review from our medical team, plus close collaboration with healthcare professionals and patient advocacy groups, to unlock 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 The New Yorker, The New York Times, USA Today, Good Morning America, Nature, and other news media. 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, TED’s Audacious Project, as well as the federal agency 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 conditions with unmet needs. This cutting-edge technology enables us to explore new therapeutic possibilities efficiently.  
• Open-Source Commitment: Many of our methods' code, quality-checking tools, and knowledge graph pipeline are open-source, and our drug list, disease list, and knowledge graph-based drug-disease scores are freely available. We aim to foster collaboration and transparency within the scientific community and unlock the potential for discovering new treatments. 
• High-Impact Focus: We prioritize drug repurposing opportunities that will relieve the most suffering and have the greatest impact possible.  
• Rigorous Validation: Promising opportunities are thoroughly validated through laboratory and clinical studies to confirm their efficacy and safety before advancing to broader application.  
• Strategic Marketing and Access: We disseminate information about effective repurposed treatments through multiple channels and are committed to ensuring that new cures are accessible to all patients.  

Every Cure is seeking a mission-driven Research Fellow to evaluate, nominate, and advance high-potential drug repurposing opportunities. 

This role is designed for a scientific generalist: someone with strong scientific expertise who is intellectually curious, adaptable, and energized by moving across disease areas rather than remaining within a single specialty. The Research Fellow will critically evaluate scientific evidence, identify knowledge gaps, and determine what needs to happen next to advance promising opportunities. 

This person will also play a more execution-focused role within the research team, helping move opportunities from evaluation into action through laboratory studies, real-world evidence research, clinical research, and external partnerships. The ideal candidate brings strong scientific judgment, industry experience, and practical experience working with CROs or other third-party research organizations. 

While the role is intentionally broad, expertise that adds to the team’s existing capabilities - particularly in immunology, aging, computational biology, or biostatistics - will be highly valued.  

How you will make an impact: 

• Evaluate Drug Repurposing Opportunities: Conduct rigorous reviews of potential drug repurposing candidates to assess therapeutic likelihood, feasibility, evidence quality, and potential patient impact, while identifying key knowledge gaps.  
• Develop and Execute Advancement Plans: Design and help execute research plans that may include laboratory experiments, real-world evidence studies, and clinical research to determine whether an opportunity should advance.  
• Drive Evidence-Based Decisions: Synthesize complex and sometimes conflicting evidence, identify limitations and potential biases, and develop clear recommendations on whether and how an opportunity should move forward.  
• Lead External Research Collaborations: Plan and execute research through CROs, external laboratories, academic institutions, and other third-party organizations, including defining research needs and coordinating sponsored research.  
• Collaborate Across Disciplines: Engage with disease experts, researchers, internal teams, and external partners to bring diverse perspectives into the evaluation and advancement of drug repurposing opportunities.  
• Contribute to Every Cure’s Research Platform: Partner with the Tech team and use emerging technologies, including AI-enabled research tools, to improve how Every Cure identifies, evaluates, and advances opportunities.  
• Support Team and Organizational Goals: Contribute new scientific perspectives and practical research capabilities to a growing team, collaborate with the Scientific Advisory Committee on key decisions, and support junior team members as appropriate.  
• Disseminate Scientific Findings: Support peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, grant proposals, and other efforts to share Every Cure’s research with the broader scientific and patient communities.
