About Us
Our mission is to cure cancer through high performance, accessible early cancer detection. That means saving lives. Delfi Diagnostics is a Johns Hopkins spinoff focused on the non-invasive detection of cancer at earlier stages, when it is most curable. DELFI uses artificial intelligence and whole genome sequencing to detect unique patterns of DNA fragmentation in the blood of patients with cancer. These analyses are performed through simultaneous examination of millions of DNA sequences using machine learning to identify tumor-specific abnormalities.In our passionate pursuit to radically improve health outcomes, we serve humanity when we:Lead with Science, Anchor in Pragmatism: We pioneer life-changing science by ensuring quality, transparency, and rigor at all times.
We explore thoughtfully, experiment smartly, and deliver impact with conviction.Build With & For All: We embrace diverse backgrounds to innovate and achieve together.
