The building, preserved and quietly maintained, was more than a lab. It was a living archive of humanitarian science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside, I found research decades ahead of modern pharmaceutical practices and a letter from Grandfather: I hadn\u2019t inherited wealth\u2014I\u2019d inherited a mission. Their network of scientists, volunteers, and charitable foundations still existed, waiting for leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six months later, I resigned my job to lead this effort. Restoring the lab, expanding trials, and digitizing archives, I committed to their vision: innovation in service of humanity.
