NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Veradermics Inc., a clinical-stage medical dermatology company developing new therapeutics for a range of skin and hair loss conditions, today announced that Co-Founder and CEO, Reid Waldman, has been included in the 2023 Forbes "30 Under 30" Healthcare list, recognizing leading scientists and entrepreneurs developing innovative solutions that address some of healthcare's biggest challenges.

Under Waldman's leadership, Veradermics has raised nearly $40 million from leading biotechnology investors since its founding in 2019 while developing a pipeline of five first-in-class product candidates targeting highly prevalent immunologic and dermatologic conditions. Two products of which Waldman is an inventor, including an immune stimulatory microarray for warts and a non-hormonal oral therapeutic for androgenetic alopecia, are currently in clinical trials. In a significant milestone, the company recently announced the dosing of the first patient in a clinical trial for its non-hormonal oral therapeutic for pattern hair loss.

"Inclusion in the Forbes "30 Under 30" list is not only a great honor for me on a personal level, but also a tremendous validation of the work we have done at Veradermics to advance the development of new dermatological therapeutics," said Waldman. "With two of our products currently in trials and more in the pipeline, I remain excited to continue leading Veradermics forward as we strive to address common therapeutic challenges like warts, hair loss, and a variety of skin conditions."

With more than 100 publications, presentations, and peer-reviewed works to his credit, Waldman is an award-winning researcher and one of the most cited physicians in the U.S., according to Doxmity. A graduate of the prestigious 6-Year Accelerated BA/MD Program at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, he completed his Medicine Internship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and his Dermatology Residency at the University of Connecticut.
