Our History
MindMend Bio was founded in 2023 by two PhD students at the University of North Dakota. The company grew from a research project they were collaborating on, inspiring them to expand their work beyond the lab. Motivated to make a broader impact and improve the lives of many, they launched MindMend, intending to bring innovative solutions for neurodegenerative disease care.
