Savva Kerdemelidis has seen a need and is trying to solve it, in this case it relates to his NZ charity Crowd Funded Cures, whose mission is to use pay for success contracts to make drug development more affordable by repurposing off-patent medicines. In this conversation we talk about this but also about his childhood, his Grandfather’s experiences in Siberia, growing up in New Zealand, when we got to know each other at the University of Canterbury Students’ Association in 2000 and becoming a lawyer who works around the World.
