ABOUT DERMTECH:

At DermTech, we believe there's a better way to assess skin, and we're using technology, innovation, and data to fundamentally change and enhance precision dermatology. We have developed technology that assesses skin at the RNA and DNA level, so that serious conditions, such as skin cancer, can be detected far earlier, reduce the need for surgery, enable optimized treatment plans, and customize skincare plans to an individual's unique skin molecular makeup. We call this practice “precision dermatology” and we believe it is truly a new era in disease detection. A method that is not just better, but different. One centered around our patented methods, which begins with using our Smart Sticker™ to collect tissue from the skin's surface easily, accurately, and painlessly, and follows with our state-of-the-art laboratory, which analyzes that tissue at the genomic level using a proprietary gene analysis system. By pushing the boundaries in precision dermatology and in areas like cancer detection, we truly believe our technology can change the world. We are seeking team members with the vision, passion, and creativity to do the same.
