ABOUT US

GET TO KNOW CND LIFE SCIENCES

Since our founding, CND Life Sciences has been on a mission to advance the care of patients who face the potential diagnosis of a neurodegenerative disease. With long careers in research and clinical care, our founders  set out to unlock  deeper stories within the skin by  detecting key pathological markers in the peripheral nervous system that had been previously out of reach.

FAST FACTS

  • Founded in 2017 as Cutaneous NeuroDiagnostics, LLC
  • Headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ with a CLIA-certified lab
  • Founders: Todd Levine MD, Christopher Gibbons  MD, and Roy Freeman MD
  • Research agreements with multiple biopharmaceutical companies
  • Launched the Syn-One Test® in August 2019
  • A Medicare participating provider with reimbursement from national and regional payers

Values

CND maintains core values that guide our work and mission every day.

  • Great science. It’s the foundation of everything we do.
  • Patients first. There is a patient hoping for answers behind every test we perform – we never forget that.
  • Clinician-minded. We are founded by physicians and dedicated to helping clinicians care for patients – we embrace this responsibility.
  • Quality core. We adhere to high laboratory standards and quality practices – it’s the only way to operate.
  • Always thinking. We are relentless in determining how we can innovate and do better – it’s just in our DNA.
  • Respect. We hold our employees, customers, partners, and suppliers in high regard – we succeed when we are aligned.

Vision

Using more convenient, minimally invasive techniques supported by strong evidence, we see the day when physicians can access objective pathological insights on underlying diseases processes – much earlier in disease progression – and apply those insights to generate better outcomes for patients.

Today we see opportunity literally beneath the surface of the skin. Tomorrow we will help physicians and patients detect and treat neurodegenerative diseases easier, safer, and more effective than ever before.

Our People Make Us Great

Kendall Swanson, Marketing Coordinator, wears many hats at CND as she works on digital marketing campaigns, tracks web and SEO metrics, plans company events, helps with sales team training, and assists with product development.

Something Kendall loves about working at CND is that “everyone pitches in, and all the departments come together. It gives us the opportunity to learn from each other.” She’s excited about where this collaboration will take the company as CND develops new diagnostic technologies to help physicians and their patients.

For Clinicians: Request a Skin Biopsy Test Kit

Our suite of neurodiagnostic tests provides clinicians with objective pathological insights on diseases that are often difficult to diagnose. Using our free Skin Biopsy Test Kit, simply collect three small skin biopsies from your patient, send them to our CLIA-certified lab, and CND will provide important visual insights to support a diagnosis.
