Professor Paul Griffiths Receives MBE for Services to Virology Professor Paul Griffiths, a renowned virologist who dedicated 38 years of his career to the Royal Free Hospital, has been appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the King’s Birthday Honours. Honored for Virology Achievements Professor Griffiths, upon receiving the award, expressed his pleasant surprise and delight. His MBE recognizes his invaluable contributions to the field of virology. Groundbreaking Work in Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Diagnosis and Treatment Prior to his retirement in 2020, Professor Griffiths’s research at the Royal Free Hospital focused on developing more effective methods for diagnosing and treating CMV in transplant patients. These patients are susceptible to viral infections due to immunosuppressant medications they take to prevent organ rejection. Untreated CMV can lead to debilitating illness and even be life-threatening. However, Professor Griffiths’s work has significantly reduced the threat this virus poses to transplant recipients. Collaboration and Patient Care Professor Griffiths emphasizes the importance of collaboration with the transplant teams at the Royal Free Hospital in achieving these positive patient outcomes. By developing a rapid diagnostic and treatment approach for CMV in transplant patients, he has played a pivotal role in improving their care. Recognition and Hope for the Future The MBE serves not only as a testament to Professor Griffiths’s distinguished career but also as an opportunity to raise awareness about CMV. He hopes this recognition will contribute to the development of a vaccine for the virus in the future. Transplantation as a Clinical Focus Transplantation remains a cornerstone of the clinical strategy at the Royal Free Hospital. Professor Griffiths’s contributions to this area have significantly enhanced patient care and outcomes.
