DELFI Diagnostics prioritizes solutions that have the potential to save lives on a global scale including for historically underserved populations. DELFI Diagnostics platform relies on fragmentomics the discovery that cancer cells are more chaotic than normal cells and when they die leave behind telltale patterns and characteristics of cellfree DNA (cfDNA) fragments. FirstLook Lung for individuals eligible for lung cancer screening is DELFI Diagnostics first laboratorydeveloped screening test and can be part of routine blood work.
