Professor Griffiths is past-President of the British Association of Dermatologists, European Dermatology Forum, British Society for Investigative Dermatology and International Psoriasis Council (which he co-founded in 2004). He is an Executive Board member of the International League of Dermatological Societies, Chair of the Scientific Programme Committee for the World Congress of Dermatology 2019 and Secretary/Treasurer of the European Society for Dermatological Research. Chris is Director of the UK Medical Research Council funded stratified medicine consortium on psoriasis (Psoriasis Stratification to Optimise Relevant Therapy; PSORT) and Chief Investigator of the British Association of Dermatologists Biologic Interventions Register (BADBIR). He has published 604 Pubmed cited articles in scientific journals (h-index 90), and is Editor-in-Chief of Rook’s Textbook of Dermatology. Chris has long-standing research interests in all aspects of psoriasis and skin ageing. He is credited with helping to develop the concept that psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease which has led to the development of targeted, life-transforming, biologic drugs for the disease. He was part of the team in Michigan that demonstrated that topical retinoids are efficacious in the management of ageing skin and has used this knowledge to found a spinout company “CGSkin”. Chris has a particular interest in the intersection of arts and medicine to which end he founded a visual literacy course for dermatology trainees in 2016.
