Joseph Edelman: CEO, Perceptive Advisors, LLC

New York, New York

A renowned biotechnology market analyst, Joseph Edelman maintains a rigorous skepticism that has functioned as an integral resource in building a prosperous career of financially supporting the development of life science innovations. As the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Perceptive Advisors LLC, he examines long- and short-term biotech investment proposals to determine the validity and potential of emerging treatments and technologies. His questioning nature has become a cornerstone in the company’s core principle: to obtain a rivaling advantage by recognizing when the market’s presumption of a specific company has detoured from reality.

Under the adherence of this business ideal, Joseph Edelman has produced remarkable results for Perceptive Advisors. As of May 2011, he has transformed Perceptive Advisors into a flourishing corporation with assets totaling more than $400 million. Prior to creating Perceptive Advisors in 1999, Joseph Edelman maintained a prominent career in the biotechnology analysis industry. After obtaining a Master of Business Administration from the Leonard N. Stern School of Business at New York University, he accepted a position with small-scale brokerage firm Labe, Simpson & Co. where he functioned as a Biotechnology Analyst and composed numerous diagnostic reports. It was not until Joseph Edelman’s analysis of Cambridge Bioscience Limited, an evaluation of a five-minute AIDS test, that his hard-lining assessments became widely recognized and applauded. After publishing his profound analytics report, Joseph Edelman was offered a Senior Biotechnology Analyst position with Prudential Securities. Before establishing his own investment firm, he was also employed by Paramount Capital Asset Management, Inc., where he also served as a Senior Analyst.

    Joseph Edelman, Principal at Perceptive Advisors, LLC, recently helped sponsor an exhibition of the works of Lyonel Feininger at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. A New York native, Feininger moved to Germany when he was 16 years old and became an active member of the Bauhaus movement. He returned to the United States after the Nazis took power. Other artists represented among the 90 works in the show at the Whitney Museum include Picasso, Rodin, and Van Gogh.

    Fans of Feininger’s work may be excited to learn that one of the artist’s previously hidden paintings, The Proposal, is now on display for the first time ever. Feininger completed the work in 1907, while he was living in Germany. The painting will be displayed at the Menard Art Museum in Aichi, Japan, until December 23, 2011.
