Frequently asked questions
How does DAFNA source its investment ideas?
The firm relies on proprietary scientific due diligence conducted by an investment team with genetics, biology, and medical training. Fischel has positioned DAFNA to evaluate companies at the genomic and molecular level rather than through traditional Wall Street healthcare research. The firm's Los Angeles base and academic ties provide access to biotech clusters on both US coasts, but its primary edge is scientific literacy, not geographic proximity.
