He sees all patients with pediatric lung diseases including but not limited to cystic fibrosis, chronic lung disease of prematurity, and asthma. The primary focus of his basic science is better understanding the mechanisms of rare lung diseases, such as childhood interstitial lung disease (chILD) and bronchiolitis obliterans (BO), in order to identify new medical therapies.Professional BackgroundInherent of Dr. McGraw's practice is providing thoughtful, evidence-based, family-centered care to all children and families. His primary goal is to promote the greatest developmentally appropriate growth and potential of all children, consistent with the mission of the University of Rochester's Department of Pediatrics. He works collaboratively with parents, primary and other care providers to achieve the best outcomes for children and adolescents with underlying lung disease.ResearchDr. McGraw's research involves understanding the mechanisms of aberrant airway epithelial repair after inhalation injuries. The primary pediatric lung disease studied is bronchiolitis obliterans (BO), a devastating and often progressive fibrotic lung disease characterized by progressive luminal narrowing and obliteration of the small airways, or bronchioles. Despite BO's high morbidity and mortality, very little is known about its pathogenesis, and even less is available in terms of prevention, intervention and treatment. Inhalation agents used to study the mechanisms of aberrant airway epithelial repair include sulfur mustard (SM), a chemical warfare inhalation agent, and diacetyl, a volatile chemical in many flavorings. Both of these inhalation agents can cause bronchiolitis obliterans in children. Basic science techniques include: small animal model development; primary airway epithelial cell isolation; flow sorting; 3D cell culture; single cell RNA sequencing.CredentialsSpecialtiesPediatrics - American Board of PediatricsPediatric Pulmonology - American Board of PediatricsEducation2012MD | SUNY Upstate College of Health ProfessionsPost-doctoral Training & Residency07/01/2015 - 06/30/2018Fellowship in Pediatric Pulmonology at University of Colorado Hospital- GME07/01/2013 - 06/30/2015Residency in Pediatrics at University of Virginia-Radiology GME07/01/2012 - 06/30/2013Internship in Pediatrics at University of Virginia-Radiology GMEVIEW ALL expand_moreAwards2022 - 2026Mechanisms of Basal Cell Dysfunction in Chemical-induced Bronchiolitis ObliteransSponsor: NIEHS (NIH; K08ES033290)Location: University of Rochester Medical Center2020 - 2022KL2 AwardSponsor: NCATS and URMC CTSILocation: University of Rochester, Rochester, NY2020 - 2021Furth AwardSponsor: Office of the Provost, University of RochesterLocation: Rochester, NY2019 - 2023NIH Loan Repayment ProgramSponsor: NIEHSLocation: University of Rochester, Rochester, NY2018Best Research Poster, Junior FacultySponsor: Department of Pediatrics, Golisano's Children's HospitalLocation: Rochester, NY2017Society of Toxicology's Donald E.
