Inside the UNLV Prof. Guha Lab

UNLV Life Sciences professor Prasun Guha has the ‘guts’ to explore the connections between gastrointestinal health and disease.
The importance of gut health to overall well-being is frequently underestimated. Like breathing, we often don’t appreciate the essential tasks that the gut carries out or understand how interconnected maintaining good gut health is in keeping our other systems balanced.
If food antigens and contaminated bacteria enter the bloodstream, they can pose serious threats to body organs, resulting in inflammation. When the gut is healthy, however, it creates a protective seal that safeguards the organs from exposure to food antigens and inflammation.
Prasun Guha, a School of Life Sciences assistant professor, joined UNLV in 2022 and established his lab to explore links between gut health and disease. When the protective seal of our gut lining becomes affected and causes inflammation, this condition is commonly referred to as leaky gut.
