A knowledgeable hematopathologist, Dr. Graff serves as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Hematopathology and Informatics, and is the Associate Director of Clinical Informatics at UC Davis Medical Center. He has a unique approach to patient care, considering the whole patient when reviewing their biopsies and laboratory data.

His clinical interests lie in malignant and non-malignant hematopathology, where he integrates flow cytometry and molecular testing to provide the most accurate diagnosis for his patients. He is also passionate about the research and academic aspects of his field, and is actively training the next generation of physicians on how technology can improve the lives of patients and the physicians who work with them.

He has also worked on a California-wide initiative to classify the causes and types of Alzheimer’s dementia and collaborates with colleagues at other University of California campuses.

Hematopathology is the study of diseases and disorders affecting blood cells, their production, and any organs and tissues involved in hematopoiesis, such as bone marrow, the spleen, and the thymus. Hematopathologists are highly trained healthcare providers who specialize in diseases of the blood and blood components. These include blood and bone marrow cells. Hematological tests can help diagnose anemia, infection, hemophilia, blood-clotting disorders, and leukemia.
