About Delfi Diagnostics
Delfi is developing a new class of liquid biopsy tests for early detection based on altered genome-wide fragmentation profiles, also known as “fragmentomes,” representing aberrant packaging of DNA in cancer cells. By applying advanced machine learning algorithms, these fragment patterns are detectable at a very low sequencing cost. Delfi (“DNA Evaluation of Fragments for early Interception”) is using this technology to develop highly sensitive and specific cancer detection assays intended for wide and cost-effective distribution and adoption.
