Can I cure a disease if there are no cubes of its colour on the board and it isn't eradicated?
The designer answered this in 2020, and the rulebook states the exception.

Not until a cube of that colour appears: the lab needs cubes of the cure colour to fill the grey spots. The only exception is a game-ending case where a colour never appeared in any city all game, in which case curing all the other diseases wins.
