With over 20 years of experience in international child health, particularly in the African and Asia-Pacific regions, Graham has held positions in Papua New Guinea in 1985, Thailand in 1993-1994, and Malawi from 1995 to 2007. During his time in Malawi at the College of Medicine, he helped establish the Malawi-Liverpool-Wellcome Trust clinical research programme in Blantyre and served as its Deputy Director from 2001 to 2007.

Additionally, he works part-time as a Consultant in Child Lung Health for the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease.
Graham's research specializations lie in international child health, focusing on infection, immunity, and global health issues such as tuberculosis in children and adolescents, pneumonia, severe acute malnutrition, and respiratory infections in resource-limited settings. He has published extensively, with key works including 'Tuberculosis research principles and priorities in children and adolescents: an international consensus statement' (2024), 'Global burden of tuberculous meningitis in children aged 0-14 years in 2019: a mathematical modelling study' (2024), 'Development of tuberculosis treatment decision algorithms in children below 5 years hospitalised with severe acute malnutrition in Zambia and Uganda' (2024), 'Effectiveness of preventive treatment among different age groups and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection status' (2024), and 'A Global Tuberculosis Dictionary: unified terms and definitions for the field of tuberculosis' (2024). Graham received the Leverhulme Medal in 2007 from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine for distinguished contributions to tropical medicine. He is the founding member and current chair of the Child Tuberculosis subgroup of the WHO Stop TB Partnership, a member of the WHO Strategic Technical Advisory Group on TB, and serves on research grant committees for the Wellcome Trust in the UK and the National Institutes of Health in the USA. His contributions have shaped global guidelines on child TB diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
