Overview

James D. Griffin is affiliated with Harvard University in the United States and has contributed extensively to research in medicine, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. The primary focus areas in their work include molecular biology, hematology, oncology, genetics, and infectious diseases.

The main topics covered in Griffin's research include acute myeloid leukemia, protein degradation and inhibitors, ubiquitin and proteasome pathways, histone deacetylase inhibitors, chronic myeloid leukemia treatments, chronic lymphocytic leukemia research, and multiple myeloma research and treatments.

Griffin has published multiple papers in notable scientific journals. Among the recent papers are:

  • Repurposing of Kinase Inhibitors for Treatment of COVID-19, 2020, Pharmaceutical Research
  • Selective USP7 inhibition elicits cancer cell killing through a p53-dependent mechanism, 2020, Scientific Reports
  • The CRTC1-MAML2 fusion is the major oncogenic driver in mucoepidermoid carcinoma, 2021, JCI Insight
  • BRD9 degraders as chemosensitizers in acute leukemia and multiple myeloma, 2022, Blood Cancer Journal
  • Small molecule inhibition of deubiquitinating enzyme JOSD1 as a novel targeted therapy for leukemias with mutant JAK2, 2021, Leukemia

Frequent co-authors include Ellen Weisberg, Martin Sattler, Chengcheng Meng, Richard M. Stone, and Sara J. Buhrlage, indicating ongoing collaborative research efforts in related fields.

Griffin's work has been published consistently in specialized venues, with multiple contributions to journals such as Leukemia, Blood, British Journal of Cancer, Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, and Cancers.

The research scope encompasses both basic scientific exploration and applied clinical studies, particularly in leukemias and malignancies associated with protein degradation pathways and molecular targeted therapies.
