We Bring Top Biotech Executives Together to do the Deal

For twenty-five years Daedalus has given its clients a competitive edge in orphan drug acquisition.


A biopharma with impressive management, plenty of cash, and Nobel-level science can still fail, while a single successful compound can ensure a firm’s future.


There are near 100 commercially-sized orphan diseases, including lysosomal storage and metabolic, endocrine, and neurodegenerative without a single approved drug or compound in clinical development.

Licensing

Orphan asset licensing: acquisition, partnering, and sale. Biopharmas that rely on inlicensing to fill their pipelines are at an increasing disadvantage competing against major firms with growing appetites for orphan drugs. Success in acquiring the most attractive orphan assets requires mastery of a market with over 40,000 compounds, 10,000 disorders, and hundreds of competitors. Daedalus has that mastery.
