 er\, M.D.\, is the William S. and Lois Stiles Edgerly Professor and Chairm
 an Department of Neurology and Professor of Immunobiology\, Yale School of
  Medicine\, and is the Neurologist-in-Chief of the Yale-New Haven Hospital
 . Hafler graduated magna cum laude in 1974 from Emory University with comb
 ined B.S. and M.Sc. degrees in biochemistry\, and the University of Miami 
 School of Medicine in 1978. He completed his internship in internal medici
 ne at Johns Hopkins followed by a neurology residency at Cornell Medical C
 enter-New York Hospital in New York. Hafler was trained in immunology with
  Henry Kunkel at the Rockefeller University and then at Harvard Medical Sc
 hool joining the Harvard faculty in 1984. He became the Breakstone Profess
 orship of Neurology at Harvard 1999 and was a founding Associated Member o
 f the Broad Institute at MIT. His discoveries in the pathogenesis and trea
 tment of multiple sclerosis have led to fundamental understanding of the d
 isease and the development of novel treatments. His seminal work includes 
 identification of circulating human autoreactive T cells and the mechanism
 s that underlie their dysregulation with the discovery of human regulatory
  T cells. He co-led the discovery of genetic variants causing MS and demon
 strated how these variants alter immune responses in relationship to envir
 onmental factors such as salt allowing activation of autoreactive T cells.
  Hafler was founder of the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies and
  the International MS Genetic Consortium. He was a Jacob Javits Merit Awar
 d Recipient from the NIH and was awarded the Dystel Prize for MS research 
 from the AAN\, the University of Miami Annual Distinguished Alumni Award\,
  the Raymond Adams Prize from the ANA and is the 2023 recipient of the 202
 3 AAI Steinman Award for Human Immunology Research. Hafler is an Honorary 
 Member of the Scandinavian Society for Immunology a Fellow in the American
  Association of Immunologist and the American Association for the Advancem
 ent of Science\, and has been elected to the AOA Society\, the American So
 ciety of Clinical Investigation\, The Association of American Physicians\,
  and the National Academy of Medicine.\n
