Still thinking about AAD and all the moments that made it memorable.

From meeting future applicants and welcoming our incoming residents, to spending time with current trainees and alumni, it was a reminder of the connection and community that shape our field.

The energy, the conversations, and the people made this one worth looking back on.

One of the leading voices in psoriasis research is coming to UT Southwestern!

We’re honored to welcome Dr. Wilson Liao as the 2026 James N. Gilliam Memorial Lecturer, a recognition for individuals who are shaping the future of dermatology.

A dermatologist and human geneticist, Dr. Liao has helped identify more than 60 psoriasis susceptibility genes and continues to push the boundaries of how we understand inflammatory skin disease.

In his lecture, “Cutting Edge Psoriasis: Updates on Pathogenesis and Management,” he’ll explore the latest breakthroughs transforming both the science and treatment of psoriasis.

The Gilliam Lecture will be featured during the Texas Dermatological Society Spring Meeting, bringing together residents, faculty, and practicing dermatologists from across the region for a program that reflects where the field is headed next.

📍 April 24–25, 2026
📍 Fairmont Hotel, Dallas, TX

We hope you’ll join us for a forward-looking conversation on the evolving landscape of inflammatory skin disease.

Looking back at an incredible week at AAD 2026 with our Department Chair, Dr. Joseph Merola.

Excited to be sharing LATE-BREAKER new data on psoriatic arthritis that highlights how treating both inflammation and metabolic disease together can lead to better outcomes for patients.

Just as impactful were the conversations off stage, connecting with colleagues across dermatology and spending time with our trainees who are helping shape what comes next.

Momentum from this year’s American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting doesn’t stop here… it’s shaping what comes next.
