    Episode 14 | Crowd Funded Cures | Nicholas Fiorenza & Savva Kerdemelidis | Repurposing off-patent drugs & nutraceuticals, psychedelics & plant medicines with DeSci

    Today's guests are Nicholas Fiorenza and Savva Kerdemelidis, founders of Crowd Funded Cures.  Crowd Funded Cures is a DeSci project of the registered tax-exempt NZ charity, the Medical Prize Charitable Trust. Crowd Funded Cures intends to support the launch of an Impact DAO to crowdfund medical prizes for public good medicines currently ignored by biotech VCs (eg repurposing off-patent drugs & nutraceuticals, psychedelics & plant medicines, diets and lifestyle interventions), who instead focus on the “blockbuster drug” model that incentivises patenting and maximising sales of a single drug.   With the IP-NFT platform of Molecule , Pay-For-Success smart contracts and Open Source Medical Prize NFTs, Crowd Funded Cures can create a marketplace for funding clinical trial data for public good medicines, without reliance on patents.

    Episode 13 | Impact Finance | Brett Cornick & Cam Nili | A Gateway to Science for the Non-Scientist

    Today's guests are Brett Cornick and Cam Nili, founders of Impact Finance. Impact Finance is decentralizing the scientific process to accelerate human progress, and to amplify the impact of the individual in the face of global challenges.   Impact Finance's mission is to empower users to own, trade, share, and create digital scientific assets in a decentralized ecosystem to make impactful advances in science and technology. Brett and Cam see a future where a purpose-built web3 platform enables science-based digital asset creators to cultivate their professional networks, track reputation, fund research, share inspiring ideas, and unlock new opportunities for collaboration and cooperation.   By providing researchers, investors, and communities with shared ownership and governance over the full scientific development lifecycle, the DeSci movement strives to make science more open-sourced and accessible to all. The status quo embodied by rigid data silos, censorship in publication, and inefficient funding processes will be a relic of the past.   Twitter: @DeSci_Impact Brett: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brettcornick/ Cam: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cam-nili/ Credits: JFK “We choose to go to the moon” https://www.nasa.gov/connect/sounds/index.html Fanfare for Space by Kevin MacLeod  http://incompetech.com Creative Commons — Attribution 4.0 International — CC BY 4.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/fanfare-for-space Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/uvjI_Yg1w4A A Magical Journey Through Space by Leonell Cassio https://soundcloud.com/leonellcassio Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/a-magical-journey-through-space Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/DRwYhxVNwzU
