After his DPhil, Grenfell spent a post-doctoral period at Imperial College London, with Roy Anderson, before joining the faculty at the University of Sheffield. He moved to the University of Cambridge in 1990, to the Pennsylvania State University in 2004, and then to Princeton University in 2009. He has served as a member of the Board of Governors of the Wellcome Trust (2014–2021).[6][7]
Grenfell's research[1] focuses on the (often non-linear) dynamics and control of infectious diseases in humans and animals.[8][9] He has used simple epidemiological models and time series analysis to interpret large spatio-temporal datasets, elucidating the spread through time and space of acute infectious pathogens, notably measles.[10][11]
In 2004, Grenfell and colleagues coined the term
