Organizing team would like to welcome our Invited Speaker Dr. Sakhila Ghimire for the session Human Health.

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.

Organizing team would like to welcome our Invited Speaker Dr. Anurag Adhikari for the session Human Health going to be organized next year in Pokhara.

Dr. Adhikari is an immunologist, currently working on the functional aspect of human adaptive immunity. He studies the polyclonal antibody effector functions to characterize the humoral immunity in viral infection. He is currently adapting the antibody effector functional assays including the antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), and antibody-dependent neutralization (ADN), to understand the role of anti-HIV antibodies in HIV pathogenesis and disease.

Organizing team would like to welcome our Invited Speaker Prof. Neil Mabbott for the session Animal Health going to be organized next year in Pokhara.

Prof. Mabbott aims to understand the pathogenesis of infectious diseases within the immune system. Particular interests include understanding host-pathogen interactions within the mucosal immune system, especially prion diseases and other gastrointestinal pathogens such as Salmonella and nematodes. Studies are also focused on the effects of host age on the function of the immune system and how this influences susceptibility to gastrointestinal pathogens.
