Research Interest
Dr. Griffiths research Interests lie in the host responses to severe infection, particularly neurological infectious insults, with a focus on identifying diagnostic and prognostic markers as well as to better understand the role of host and pathogen responses in determining the outcome of brain infections. I use transcriptomic and proteomic approaches to explore these responses, both in patient populations and human brain infection models. In previously trained in Oxford, Kenya (Kilifi) and Stanford, and I maintain collaborations with these Institutes. My clinical training is paediatric and adult neurology.
