Innovation in Treating COVID-19 and Other Diseases: Making Personalized Medicine Personal with David Fajgenbaum, MD

Dr. David Fajgenbaum has been so close to death that Last Rights have performed — five times. While in medical school, David became critically ill with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease. This is his story and his work.

David received his bachelor’s degree from Georgetown, a MSc from the University of Oxford, his MD from the UPenn, and an MBA from their Wharton School of Business. He is one of the youngest individuals to be appointed to the faculty at Perelman School of Medicine at UPenn where he is an Assistant Professor in Translational Medicine and Human Genetics and is the associate director of their Orphan Disease Center.
