Griffith is the Kenan Distinguished Professor of Microbiology and Immunology in the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill. Previously, at Caltech he developed electron microscopic (EM) methods for visualizing bare DNA bound by proteins and used this to visualize replicating DNA complexes. At Stanford, he obtained the first images of the basic chromatin particle termed a nucleosome and determined the amount of DNA in the nucleosome. At UNC his group combined EM and biochemistry to examine recombining DNAs, the nature of triplet repeat disease DNA, and the architecture of moving replication forks. In 1999 he demonstrated that the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes are

This discovery provided the answer to a question first raised 80 years ago when telomeres were identified and shown to protect chromosome ends. However, the way in which protection was accomplished at a molecular level remained unknown until Dr. Griffith’s discovery of telomere looping. His contributions have been acknowledged by the Herbert A. Sober award from the Associated Societies for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Grand Gold Medal of Comenius University.
