A Very Short History of DrD
Dr. Dominic Man-Kit Lam is an internationally acclaimed biomedical scientist , recipient of MIT’s prestigious “Patent of the Year”, as well as a former professor at Harvard Medical School and Texas Medical Center. Dr. Lam was also known as the Father of Texas Biotechnology, for which he was awarded the American Hi-Tech Entrepreneur Award (1989) and U.S. Presidential Award of Merit (1989).
In 2006, Dr. Lam, together with scientists headed by Dr. Mahesh Patel at the International Biotech Institute (IBI), created a series of functional skin and hair care products under the brand “Dr. Dominic”. In two short years, “Dr.Dominic” products have been regularly used and acclaimed by the most sophisticated and demanding clients, including international stars and celebrities such as Jackie Chan, Simon Yam Tak Wah and others.
Dr. Lam has two children who are also both doctors – his daughter Dr. Yee Lam, J.D., a lawyer practicing in L.A. and Dr. Fong Lam, M.D., a pediatrician practising in Houston. When Yee and Dr. Dominic attended Dr. Fong Lam’s wedding in Houston, Yee and Fong mentioned that it would be great if there is a line of functional skin and hair care products for their generation: from 20s to early 40s, who have their particular needs in keeping their face, body and hair healthy and beautiful. Early hair loss & signs of aging, etc., came to mind and they thought it should be eliminated. Dr. Dominic was very receptive to his children’s suggestion and immediately asked Dr. Patel and his colleagues at IBI in New Jersey to come up with the solutions. They also chose DrD as the new brand name, to associate this with Dr. Dominic, the brand for more mature people. Hence, the birth of DrD products.
Because this new creation involves his children, Dr. Dominic is adamant that 1) the products do fill the needs of Yee and Fong’s generation and 2) the products are of the highest quality. After all, it’s not just Dr. Dominic anymore – the reputation of the whole Lam family is now at stake!
