About

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.
