Walking through the doors of CND Life Sciences' modern 22,000-square-foot global headquarters in Scottsdale, you'll immediately sense you're entering a space where groundbreaking science meets compassionate patient care. As a physician joining this innovative medical technology company, you'll be part of an organization that's fundamentally changing how neurodegenerative disorders are diagnosed and treated. The adjacent state-of-the-art laboratory and office facilities create an environment where cutting-edge diagnostics and collaborative research flourish, all set against the stunning backdrop of Arizona's Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community with views of the majestic Red Mountain.
Founded in 2017 by neurologists with extensive clinical and research backgrounds, CND Life Sciences operates at the intersection of dermatopathology and neurology, developing revolutionary skin-based tests that detect pathological markers previously out of reach. You'll be practicing at a facility that maintains the highest standards of laboratory excellence, reflected in both its CLIA certification and prestigious College of American Pathologists (CAP) accreditation received in June 2023.
Unlike traditional healthcare facilities, CND Life Sciences represents a new model of specialized diagnostic innovation center where your contributions directly advance the field of neurodegenerative disease diagnosis. The company's core technology, the Syn-One Test®, launched in 2019, addresses a critical gap in neurological care by providing objective pathological evidence that helps reduce misdiagnosis rates for conditions that often present diagnostic challenges for clinicians.
Your work here would support a mission with profound implications—helping patients receive accurate diagnoses earlier in their disease progression, potentially years before traditional clinical assessments might confirm their condition. This translates to more appropriate treatment plans, better-informed clinical trial participation, and significantly improved quality of life for patients and their families.
As part of the CND Life Sciences team, you'll collaborate with renowned experts in neurology, dermatopathology, and laboratory sciences. The leadership team includes the founding physicians who conceived the innovative diagnostic approach, alongside experienced executives with backgrounds in healthcare, laboratory operations, and regulatory affairs. This creates a uniquely physician-oriented culture where clinical insights are highly valued and incorporated into ongoing development efforts.
The facility is designed to foster collaboration between laboratory specialists, researchers, and clinical consultants. Open workspaces adjacent to laboratory areas facilitate easy communication, while dedicated conference rooms equipped with advanced telecommunication technology enable seamless consultation with clinicians nationwide who utilize the company's diagnostic services.
Your opportunity to join CND Life Sciences comes during an exciting growth phase for both the company and Arizona's burgeoning bioscience sector. The 2023 grand opening of the Scottsdale headquarters represents a significant expansion of capacity to meet growing demand for the company's diagnostic services. Located within Arizona's nationally recognized bioscience corridor, the facility benefits from proximity to research institutions, talent resources, and a supportive innovation ecosystem.
Arizona faces particular challenges with neurodegenerative diseases, having the fastest growth rate for Alzheimer's and other dementias in the country. This creates both urgency and opportunity for the advanced diagnostics CND Life Sciences provides. As part of this organization, your work would directly address a growing regional healthcare need while contributing to national and global advances in neurodegenerative disease management.
For a pathologist, CND Life Sciences represents a rare opportunity to apply your specialized training in a setting that truly values diagnostic precision and innovation. Here, your interpretive skills will directly impact patients facing life-changing neurological diagnoses, providing clarity where uncertainty often prevails. Unlike traditional pathology roles where you might encounter a vast array of specimen types, at CND Life Sciences, you'll develop extraordinary expertise in detecting and analyzing alpha-synuclein pathology in cutaneous tissue—becoming part of a specialized field at the forefront of neurodegenerative disease diagnosis.
The combination of digital pathology technologies, research collaboration opportunities, and the knowledge that your work directly influences treatment decisions for patients nationwide creates a deeply rewarding professional experience that few pathology positions can match.
