Deerfield Management recognizes that investigators at research institutions provide much of the novel insights that advance our understanding of disease. However, at any research institution, the most commercially promising innovations eventually outgrow the lab, requiring greater resources and more focused development expertise than a research setting can typically provide.
To bridge that gap, Deerfield partners with leading research centers from across the country, providing critical funding and expertise to further sustain and accelerate the commercialization of discoveries toward meaningful societal impact by advancing cures for disease.
Together with its research partners, Deerfield has created 20 spin-off companies to date that are supporting key avenues from concept to spin-out of novel therapeutic discoveries, as well as an incubator focused on innovative cardiovascular devices.

Far beyond its financial resources—with its long vision, operational expertise, and command in the life science and healthcare space for more than two decades, Deerfield is uniquely positioned to support all stages of development from early-stage to market—advancing science and enabling the translation of ideas into medicines.
