Sue T. Griffin
Wilma Sue Tilton Griffin (born January 25, 1934) is an American neuroscientist best known for her contributions regarding the role of neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of
Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. She conceived a "cytokine cycle" by which
interleukin 1 and other paracrine factors conspire with one another to create a "feed-forward" cooperativity, thus establishing the premise for a progressive disease. Griffin is the Alexa and William T. Dillard Professor in Geriatric Research and director of research at the
Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging at the
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. She is also the founding Chief Editor of the
Journal of Neuroinflammation.
