About Us

Medicine in Need is a not-for-profit research organization devoted to the successful development and manufacture of affordable and effective vaccines and therapies with characteristics that allow their widespread use despite the daunting economic and logistical constraints of the developing world. Today, we are focused on solutions for Tuberculosis, Malaria and HIV/AIDS, through the work of two independent divisions:

MEND Biotech Development (MBD) maintains wet-lab expertise in Boston and Pretoria (where a GLP-qualified and ISO9001 suite is located), as well as deep pharmaceutical line-function expertise, to ensure that discovery molecules can be transitioned into commercial products. We maintain alliances with NGOs and Universities to allow access to laboratories when necessary. Learn more.

MEND Innovation & Translational Alliance Management Division (MITAM) manages a dynamic network of international technology and formulation leaders to allow the most appropriate and cutting-edge solutions to be accessed and applied to the most intractable problems in vaccine and drug development for diseases of poverty.
