His publication record includes co-authoring the book Neurosurgery: Case-Based Approach (Springer) and over 40 PubMed-indexed articles, with an H-index of 11.

A dedicated clinician-scientist, Mr. Ghimire combines his expertise in neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, and artificial intelligence to drive innovation in research and improve patient care globally.

Research interests

I am deeply committed to advancing the frontiers of neuro-oncology and neurosurgery through the integration of artificial intelligence. My research focuses on leveraging radiogenomics, advanced imaging biomarkers, and machine learning to enhance the diagnosis, stratification, and personalized treatment of brain tumors, particularly glioblastoma. My work explores the correlation between tumor genomic profiles and imaging features to develop predictive models that inform clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes. Additionally, I am investigating the interplay between tumor location and occupational factors, aiming to uncover novel insights into disease etiology. Through my efforts, I aspire to bridge the gap between AI innovations and their practical applications in neuro-oncology, fostering transformative changes in patient care.
