Cure., a Deerfield affiliate and premier healthcare innovation ecosystem, recently launched the Cure Innovation Index. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic ranking of U.S. biomedical institutions by an array of critical factors associated with the successful translation of scientific research into real-world health impact.
The Index ranks the top 303 U.S. institutions using an evidence-based framework to quantify key elements that aims to help enable researchers to turn scientific discoveries into healthcare solutions with commercial and public health potential.
A collaboration aimed to propel translational research into clinical therapeutics
In January 2022 Stanford University and Deerfield Management, a healthcare investment firm, collaborated to create Porter Alliance for Innovative Medicines to accelerate translational research into clinical therapeutics.
Deerfield has committed up to $130 million and additional scientific and operational support to the collaboration to advance research coming out of Stanford faculty laboratories with a focus on drug prototypes emerging from Stanford’s Innovative Medicines Accelerator (IMA).
The IMA is a key partner in the collaboration as it seeks to accelerate the translation of Stanford research discoveries into new medicines while learning more about human biology.
Deerfield is a healthcare investment management firm committed to advancing healthcare through investment, information and philanthropy. For more information, please visit www.deerfield.com.
