Dr James Griffiths

James attained his BSc in Biological Sciences from the University of Leeds in 2014 before undertaking his PhD in the lab of Dr Selinda Orr at Cardiff University.

Here, he investigated host-pathogen interactions that orchestrate anti-fungal immunity. He was particularly interested in the role of C-type Lectin-like receptors during Aspergillus and Candida infection. 

James received his PhD in 2018 and completed a short post-doctoral position in the Orr lab before joining Professor Julian Naglik’s group at King’s College London.
