 Join Us Now: PNIRSAsia-Pacific Global Research Connections

Connect with psychoneuroimmunology research laboratories in China, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, India and other global institutions. Take a minute to join PNIRSAsia-Pacific Global Research Connections. A new initiative of the PNIRSAsia-Pacific committee seeks to connect professors, post-docs, graduate students and even undergraduates interested in brain, behavior and immunity research in the Asia-Pacific region with other laboratories throughout the world. If you are interested in hosting scientists from the Asia-Pacific region in your laboratory, or if your laboratory is in the Asia-Pacific region and you would like to work with scientists outside your country, please add your name, country, scientific web link, email address and area of expertise to this website https://pnirs.ansc.illinois.edu. Just click this link and complete the short form. It literally takes only 3 minutes of your time, after which you will be connected with research laboratories all over the world who are conducting research in brain, behavior and immunity.

P.S. The https://pnirs.ansc.illinois.edu website is not available on mobile phones.

Chinese Scholars Taste Wisconsin Cheese

The PNIRSAsia-Pacific Global Research Connections initiative (https://pnirs.ansc.illinois.edu) helped to promote collaborations between scientists at the University of Wisconsin and the Nantong University School of Medicine. In October, 2019, four scientists from Dr. Yu-Ping Peng’s laboratory, Drs. Y-H Qui, S-H Ma, Z.Liu and X-X Fang, traveled to Madison, Wisconsin. Dr. Chris Coe was their host, and they shared scientific findings and interdisciplinary perspectives and learned about primate research being conducted at Madison.

9th Annual Mind-Body Interface Symposium -- Taichung, Taiwan 

From October 7-8, 2019, registrants participated in the 9th Annual Mind-Body Interface Symposium (MBI) held in Taichung, Taiwan. This year, the meeting organizers kindly extended the opportunity to invite two PNIRSAsia-Pacific nominees to present plenary lectures, who were PNIRS Past President, Deborah Hodgson (Australia), and Rex Gaskins (USA). Eleven other speakers represented the PNIRS (http://www.tsnpr.org.tw/programme.php). The following day, scientists participated in Office Yoga training at Sun Moon Lake (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Moon_Lake). Great fun.

 PNIRSAsia-Pacific SYMPOSIUM IN NEW ZEALAND 2019

Thanks to Karl Iremonger and Ruth Empson, organizers for the Australasian Winter Conference on Brain Research (AWCBR), for supporting our latest PNIRSAsia-Pacific symposium held in Queenstown, New Zealand this from August 31-September 4, 2019. We figured Atsuyoshi Shimada (Kyorin University, Japan), Suzi Hong (University of California, US) and Sarah Spencer (RMIT University, Australia) in a broad discussion on Psychoneuroimmunology Across the Lifespan.  Our symposium joined 5 stellar days of others across the several conferences of the Queenstown Research Week.  In addition to the excellent quality science, we all appreciated the lake, snow, spectacular views, and quality martinis Queenstown had to offer.
