In Memory of Craig Leonardi, MD 🕊️

The University of Miami Frost Department of Dermatology mourns the passing of Craig Leonardi, MD, a distinguished dermatologist, pioneering clinical investigator, educator, mentor, and cherished friend.

A proud alumnus of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Dr. Leonardi helped revolutionize psoriasis treatment through groundbreaking research, contributing to more than 200 clinical trials and 250 scientific publications. As co-founder and former president of the International Psoriasis Council, his leadership and dedication to advancing dermatology left a lasting impact on patients and physicians worldwide.

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions, our department recently honored Dr. Leonardi at the Frost Dermatology 70th Anniversary Meeting and established an endowed research fund in his name to support future discoveries in skin research.

Beyond his professional achievements, Dr. Leonardi will be remembered for his warmth, generosity, mentorship, and lifelong commitment to scientific discovery.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Leonardi family. His legacy will continue to inspire generations of dermatologists and researchers.

Forever a part of the University of Miami Dermatology family. 🕊️
