Matthew D. McGraw, MD, is an Associate Professor at the University of Rochester Medical Center within the Department of Pediatrics and School of Medicine and Dentistry. As the George Washington Goler Chair in Pediatrics, he combines clinical excellence in pediatric pulmonology with cutting-edge research on fibrotic lung diseases.
His research focuses on bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) and other inhalation injury mechanisms through:
- Occupational exposure modeling with diacetyl (flavoring chemical)
- Chemical warfare agent studies involving sulfur mustard and nitrogen mustard
- Development of 3D organoid cultures for epithelial regeneration research
Key scientific contributions appear in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, with collaborative work on:
- Lung proteomics and multi-omics data integration
- EVALI (E-cigarette or Vaping Lung Injury) pathogenesis
- CD4+ T-cell roles in chemical-induced lung disease
Major awards include:
- KL2 Award for translational research (2020-2022)
- NIH CounterAct Program funding
- Donald E. Gardner Inhalation Toxicology Education Award
His lab (McGraw Lab) leads the Lung Biology and Disease Program at the Environmental Health Sciences Center, with active projects on:
- Chemical warfare-induced pulmonary fibrosis
- Occupational lung disease prevention
- Real-time rodent lung function monitoring
