The PROTEOSTEM lab is led by Dr. William Grey at the University of York.

We focus on the role of protein homeostasis – so called “Proteostasis” – in healthy and malignant stem cell development.
The predominant focus of the lab is the haematopoietic (blood) system and cancerous transformation to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
