DERMTECH OPERATIONS, INC.
SAN DIEGO, CA

Meet DermTech Operations, Inc., formerly known as DermTech, based out of San Diego at 12340 El Camino Real. A forerunner in molecular dermatology, this company is redefining how skin health is approached with cutting-edge technology. Focused on the early detection of skin cancers and managing inflammatory conditions, they're paving the way to more personalized approaches to treating dermal diseases. Instead of the traditional method of taking skin biopsy samples via scalpels, DermTech uses innovative adhesive patches. This non-invasive technique reflects their commitment to modernizing dermatology care. Operating under a CLIA licensed lab in La Jolla, CA, they employ precision medicine tactics that empower clinicians with precise and objective insights – all aimed at enhancing patient care while cutting down costs. In collaboration with pharmaceutical partners, DermTech encourages the advancement of targeted therapies, aligning perfectly within the evolving medical landscape. At the helm are key leaders with impressive backgrounds. John Dobak, MD, a seasoned entrepreneur in life sciences based here in San Diego, and Dr. Yao, whose 16 years at biotech giants like Nexogen, have armed her with extensive experience in product development.
