Highlander Health
Overview
Highlander Health is a private investment firm dedicated to modernizing clinical research and patient care by integrating evidence generation into everyday healthcare practices. The firm comprises two main entities: Highlander Health Institute, a public interest platform, and Highlander Health Partners, its investment arm. Together, they aim to enhance the development and delivery of personalized treatments by fostering collaborations across various sectors, including healthcare, technology, and academia. In September 2024, Highlander Health Partners was established by industry veterans Amy Abernethy, M.D., Ph.D., and Brad Hirsch, M.D., to invest in companies and technologies crucial to personalized care. Their inaugural acquisition was Target RWE, a company specializing in generating high-quality real-world datasets and evidence across multiple therapeutic areas, with a focus on liver disease. This acquisition underscores Highlander Health's commitment to leveraging real-world data to modernize clinical evidence generation. Highlander Health Institute collaborates with organizations like Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy, Baylor Scott & White Research Institute, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to develop clinician-led learning labs. These labs aim to create and test solutions for advancing evidence generation and care, with results transparently shared to inform best practices in the healthcare industry. Through these initiatives, Highlander Health seeks to bridge the gap between research and patient care, ensuring that medical innovations are effectively integrated into clinical settings for improved patient outcomes.
