When Googler Thomas Wagner’s son received a diagnosis of Alexander disease, a rare genetic disorder, he set out to learn everything he could. He used Gemini to summarize research in medical journals, making it easier for him to understand. He realized there might be similarities between Alexander disease, which had very little active research, and other diseases with much more funding and ongoing research. He began to reach out to those researchers, scientists and doctors, many of whom had never heard of Alexander disease before. Through these conversations, Thomas has helped jumpstart new research into potential treatments.
