Profile: DermTech International is a biotechnology company specializing in the development and validation of molecular tests using specimens derived from the skin. We develop a non-invasive technique for sampling the surface layers of the skin in order to generate individual genetic profiles for commercial applications in the medical diagnostic, personalized medicine and pharmaceutical R&D arenas. Our EGIR™ technology uses a custom adhesive to non-invasively and easily collect cells from the stratum corneum, which is the upper layer of the skin. Our Meldtect™ is used for the non-invasive and genetic-based detection of melanoma.
