William David Graf MD

Professor of Pediatrics (Neurology) and of Neurology

Biographical Info

I grew up in Madison Wisconsin and studied biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin before moving to Germany to study medicine at the Ludwig-Maximilian Universität in Munich and the Freie Universität in Berlin. My postgraduate training in pediatrics was at New York University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in neurodeveolopmental disabilities at the New York Medical College, and in neurology at the University of Washington. For the last 20 years, while working at Seattle Children’s Hospital, Group Health in Seattle, and Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, I have focused on diagnostic approaches to complex neurodevelopmental disorders and medical care for families whose children have neurodevelopmental disabilities. My clinical research interests in neurogenetics and metabolic disorders continue at Yale in the Departments of Pediatrics and Neurology in collaboration with the Yale basic science community.
