Their drive to research and create pharmaceuticals to sustain wellness and improve quality of life has led them to develop several successful products. In 1987, one such effort led to the FDA approval of a medication used to treat psoriasis. It was one of only 22 medications approved in the United States that year. Dr. Parnell earned her medical degree at the Georgetown University School of Medicine. She interned, trained, and taught dermatology at the University of Wisconsin Medical School before moving to Marin County.

Dr. Parnell served on the faculty of the University of California San Francisco Medical School for over 30 years, most recently as Assistant Clinical Professor. She has also served on the medical staff at Marin General Hospital and Kentfield Rehabilitation Hospital.
