Dr. Michael Girardi ’92 M.D., an internationally recognized investigator and translational expert in the advancement of personalized therapy for cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), was recently appointed the Evans Professor of Dermatology, effective immediately.

A graduate of Brown University, Girardi earned his M.D. from Yale School of Medicine in 1992. After completing his residency in dermatology and an internship in internal medicine at Yale New Haven Hospital, he joined Yale’s faculty as an assistant professor in the Department of Dermatology.

Girardi’s laboratory is credited with major contributions to the understanding of skin biology, immunology, and skin cancer development. He has published more than 150 scientific manuscripts, clinical reports, and book chapters, including on the genetic basis of CTCL, and is the holder/filer of several biomedical patents on cancer diagnosis and treatment. Michael is the recipient of numerous honors and accolades, including the Spatz Foundation Award for Cutaneous Lymphoma and the Zeligman Lectureship Award from Johns Hopkins University.
