Harvard-Trained Dermatologist Brings Expertise to Biotech Skin Health Brand

IRVINE, Calif., June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Epicutis, a pioneering biotech skincare brand known for its science-backed, clean formulations that prioritize skin health over beauty, proudly announces the appointment of Dr. James Y. Wang as Chairman of its Scientific Advisory Board. As a Harvard and UCLA-trained double board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist, Dr. Wang brings a wealth of expertise in medical and aesthetic dermatology, reinforcing Epicutis' mission to deliver clinically advanced, non-toxic skincare solutions to market.

James Y. Wang, MD, Founder of Metropolis Dermatology, with five locations in California, is widely recognized as a leader in dermatology, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers, psoriasis, eczema, and acne. His impressive academic background includes graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in biology from Washington University in St. Louis, followed by earning his MD from Harvard Medical School and an MBA in healthcare policy from Harvard Business School.

"As a physician, I am committed to evidence-based skincare that is not only safe for all skin types but also effective," shares Dr. Wang. "Epicutis represents the perfect fusion of biotechnology and dermatological science, delivering formulations that truly transform skin health at a cellular level, and I am honored to contribute to this next chapter of innovation."

Epicutis was founded on the principles of biotech-driven skincare, leveraging the research of Dr. Jeffrey Stock, a distinguished biophysicist and Princeton University professor. By harnessing proprietary, patented active ingredients, Epicutis formulates small-batch, high-performance skincare products available exclusively through skin professionals. With a focus on transparency, efficacy, and the elimination of unnecessary additives and stabilizers, the brand continues to set new standards in professional skincare.

"We are thrilled to have Dr. Wang join us as Chairman of our Scientific Advisory Board," said Maxwell Stock, Founder and CEO of Epicutis. "His deep understanding of dermatological science and passion for cutting-edge innovation align perfectly with our mission to clean up the skincare industry and support clinicians with science-backed, 100% non-toxic products that make a true impact on skin health."

With Dr. Wang's leadership, Epicutis is advancing its commitment to safe, biotech-driven skincare solutions while championing higher regulation to ensure safety and efficacy in an industry often dominated by misleading marketing and mass production. By prioritizing science-backed formulations with patented, highly concentrated therapeutic ingredients, Epicutis is empowering skincare professionals to stand a chance against big beauty. More than just providing innovative products – the brand is actively investing in its partners' success, helping aesthetic businesses grow with exclusive, clinical-grade solutions that drive real results and build lasting patient trust.
