Our Mission

Advancium embraces a two-pronged approach:

Move forward projects in areas of compelling need, but questionable commercial viability
Educate populations to engage diverse thought leadership in healthcare and investment

Advancium identifies and develops potential revolutionary medical discoveries that address rare diseases, important medical device technologies, disease in children, among many other healthcare needs. The organization will build initiatives to address the gender and racial gaps that exist in the healthcare and financial service industries with diversity programs created by Deerfield Management, including the Deerfield Fellows Program, Break into the Boardroom, and Women in Science.
