Michael J. Grey

Michael J. Grey, PhD is a Staff Scientist in the Division of Gastroenterology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an Assistant Professor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Grey earned his PhD with Distinction in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at Columbia University, was a postdoctoral fellow in structural biology at Harvard Medical School, and completed his mentored scientist career development award in epithelial cell biology at Boston Children's Hospital. Dr. Grey's lab investigates the biochemical, cellular, and physiologic mechanisms underlying how the intestinal epithelium responds and adapts to cellular stress in health and disease. Current projects focus on the function and evolution of epithelial ER stress sensors, host-microbiota interactions regulating epithelial host defense, and the impact of disease-causing mutations on protein structure and cellular function in digestive diseases.
