Dr. Griffiths is currently a professor at the University of London’s Institute of Immunity and Transplantation. His research concerns are the quantitative aspects of the natural history and pathogenesis of herpesvirus infections, especially cytomegalovirus in immunocompromised renal, or liver transplant patients, in addition to the potential interactions between herpesviruses and HIV. Paul’s interests are in the design of and result from controlled clinical trials of compounds or vaccines active against herpes viruses, which when used as probes of pathogenesis may reveal the full spectrum of diseases caused or triggered by these common infectious agents.
