Our Mission is to discover and develop better therapeutic options
      for patients suffering from unmanageable diseases

We understand that diseases are complex, treatments are unsatisfactory, and drug development processes are long, expensive and inefficient.  Our approach to pharmaceutical research and development is driven by a deeper understanding of diseases at the biological systems level and designing therapeutic strategies to solve specific patient problems.

We are committed to maximizing resource utilization and making conscious efforts to undertake projects ranging from low risk to high risk -- including (1) developing newer formulations of existing drugs, (2) repurposing older drugs, (3) developing new drugs against precedented targets, and (4) discovering drug-candidates against unprecedented targets, with increasing risk profiles in that order.

Our goals are to:

  • Improve existing drugs using our proprietary formulation technology
  • Explore world-wide markets for product launches
  • Develop strategic partnerships for developed products
  • Develop alliances with multinational pharmaceutical companies
  • Increase value for patients and investors

At Sarfez we are committed to discover successful treatments for diseases and passionate about making a difference in the lives of patients.

oronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for over 7 Million deaths annually — more than any other disease category.

Premier Heart's Multifunction Cardiogram is the only non-invasive online diagnostic testing tool designed to assist physicians in quickly and accurately detecting heart diseases, including CAD ischemia.
When compared to traditional methods MCG has consistently been able to more accurately detect ischemia at earlier stages, enabling physicians to intervene and save lives.

The results from MCG have been validated in double-blind clinical studies where our system has demonstrated accuracy comparable to coronary angiography (90% overall sensitivity, 85% specificity).
This level of accuracy results from advanced techniques in signal processing and systems analysis combined with our unmatched clinical database which allows MCG to provide quantitative, evidence-based results to assist in reaching a diagnosis.

We invite you to review our clinical trial resultsuser endorsements and technical data. If you want to learn more about using MCG in your practice or would like more information about our technology please feel free to contact us.

YU School of Medicine is one of the nation’s preeminent academic institutions. For more than 150 years, we have trained thousands of physician-scientists who have helped to shape the course of medical history and enrich the lives of countless people. Through medical education, scientific research, and patient care, we continue to demonstrate our deep, abiding commitment to improving the human condition.

The percentage of NYU graduates who are members of medical school faculties is among the highest in the nation. For most of them, an invaluable part of that training was their service at Bellevue Hospital, one of the nation’s finest municipal hospitals, where NYU physicians have provided clinical and emergency care to
New York City’s poor and immigrant populations for more than a century.

As part of a “biomedical corridor” extending from 23rd to 34th Streets along Manhattan’s East River Drive, our institution is guided by the promise of “translational medicine,” in which scientific discoveries are urgently translated into innovative treatments for patients. To create an environment worthy of rapid medical advances, we are constructing new research and clinical facilities. These state-of-the-art facilities will serve as the home for our physician-scientists who are the intellectual foundation of the School. In addition, we are recruiting a new generation of scholars and teachers who have established national and international reputations. And we are admitting some of the nation’s best and brightest students, many of whom will become tomorrow’s leaders in the medical profession.

Your focus and ours is whether NYU is the right place to pursue your medical education. We hope that this website captures the spirit of the educational enterprise at NYU, as well as the experience of studying medicine in the heart of New York City.
