Priyankar Dey

Priyankar Dey's research focuses on the gut microbiome and its connections to liver disease, particularly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver, not caused by alcohol use). This work combines microbiology, toxicology, and phytochemistry (the study of plant-derived chemical compounds) to understand how gut bacteria, diet, and natural plant compounds affect metabolic health and disease. The lab uses lab-based (in vitro) models mimicking the human gut and liver to study these interactions without relying solely on animal or human testing.

Publication output fluctuated over the past decade, dipping after 2017 but showing a renewed increase from 2023 through 2025, averaging under 10 papers per year over the last five years.
