About NED Biosystems:
Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, NED Biosystems is a clinical-stage biotech company focused on patients and their families. NED’s mission is to enable patients to achieve and sustain No Evidence of Disease. The Company’s novel platform has designed treatments to address large unmet needs for cancer and infectious disease patients. The intent is to achieve what today’s HIV treatments have: to transform what may be a death sentence diagnosis to No Disease, or reliably managed disease with quality of life.
NED’s novel platform pioneers a data-driven methodology. By simultaneously and redundantly affecting the processes driving disease, well-established by decades of research, treatments are designed to arrest disease progression and normalize disease-related imbalances. Deploying safe, evidenced-based agents lacking customary toxicity and side effects, NED’s treatments are comprehensive unlike today’s narrowly targeted therapies.
NED is a Delaware Public Benefit Company seeking to make its therapies accessible in both developed and developing countries.
