Dr. Sakhila Ghimire is an immunologist whose research has significantly advanced understanding of gut microbiome–immune interactions in allogeneic stem cell transplantation. She has produced high-impact evidence linking intestinal cytokine pathways and microbiome-regulated immune receptors to graft-versus-host disease severity and transplant-related mortality. Her work integrates human tissue immunology, immune phenotyping, and translational microbiome science to elucidate mechanisms of immune dysregulation. Through international collaborations across leading European institutions, she has contributed to shaping microbiome-informed immunotherapeutic strategies. Her research provides a strong mechanistic foundation for microbiome-targeted interventions to restore immune homeostasis in clinical settings.
