Nabi Biopharmaceuticals is a biotech company focused on developing products that encompass two main areas of treatment; nicotine addiction, and bacterial infections.

In many ways, this is a new way to approach new product development; looking for the products and services that have always been available but not fully exploited. If an investor can find a…
