CND Life Sciences Opens Boston Office to Support its Scientific Strategy and Patient-Driven Mission
CND Life Sciences recently added a Boston-area office to support the company’s growth and accelerate its mission to transform the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Its presence in one of the nation’s most important life sciences markets gives the company greater access to exceptional talent while enabling its ongoing scientific research and commitment to serving the neurology community. It also marks a geographic return to the company’s scientific roots, which began more than a decade ago.
This new office includes a scientific and statistical analysis group and houses a world-class team of pathologists to complement the company’s global headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona. This expanded Boston-area scientific team increases the company’s capacity to help clinicians diagnose disorders such as Parkinson’s and dementia with Lewy bodies in their patients earlier in the disease state process.
“As the use and clinical utility of our products expands, it’s crucial to have a scientific team that can support this growth,” said Christopher Gibbons, MD, co-founder and chief scientific officer at CND. “Having a presence in the Boston area lets us tap into this robust talent pool to support our research strategy and long-term pathology capabilities – as well as contribute to the area’s innovative spirit.”
Back in 2008, Boston served as the backdrop for the CND founders’ NIH-funded research into whether phosphorylated alpha-synuclein might also show up within cutaneous nerves in the skin.
“This new office is a concrete indicator of how CND has expanded from its academic roots in Boston to clinics across the country,” said CND co-founder and senior scientific advisor Roy Freeman, MD. “It’s gratifying to see how our early collaboration at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center nearly a decade ago, which led to the development of the Syn-One Test, is now helping thousands of patients and their families get the answers they need to better manage their condition.”
