This free, informal online and onsite symposium will be held in Europe this summer (location is still to be determined - probably Denmark). Click here to signup for the online symposium. Email us or phone +1-250-509-0514 (Canada) if you want to join us in Europe.
The schedule of presentations will be continuously changing up until the day of the conference. To be able to see which talks you'd like to attend, keep an eye on the schedule below - we'll be keeping it updated.
About the symposium
Unnoticed by most, a quiet revolution is happening in the emerging field of psycho-immunology. Developments in this cross-discipline field have all the earmarks of a disruptive technology - their applications promise to be fast, effective, simple, inexpensive, and without costly technology, and work on both chronic and acute illnesses in many people. These new approaches are also effective in discovering the causes of diseases of unknown etiology.
We’ll also be talking about the nature of breakthrough research, and the ways and difficulties in moving this new area of research into academia, mainstream medicine, and widespread use.
We have an information pdf for this symposium here for you and your colleagues. You can also read about our approach to psycho-immunology and psychobiology on this website, but we encourage anyone in this rapidly changing field to share their own viewpoints and experiences, whatever they may be.
There are no fees for attending this symposium. To register, fill out this Zoom registration form before the conference starts.
You can also attend in person. There is no fee, but you will have to pay for your own food and accommodations.
Several days will be only for therapists trained by the Institute - they'll be getting technique updates and practice with the latest tools.

PNIRS 2024 (24-27 June) Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
The PsychoNeuroImmunology Research Society is an international organization for researchers in a number of scientific and medical disciplines including psychology, neurosciences, immunology, pharmacology, psychiatry, behavioral medicine, infectious diseases, endocrinology and rheumatology, who are interested in interactions between the nervous system and the immune system, and the relationship between behavior and health.
Our annual meeting brings together scientists working across the translational continuum to address critical issues in mental and physical health. We have an outstanding line-up of featured speakers and symposia examining the psychoneuroimmune processes underlying depression, anxiety, cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodevelopmental disorders, cognition, and sleep. The meeting will also feature oral and poster sessions, discussion groups, and themed breaks. Meeting registration and abstract submissions are now open and we encourage you to register and submit your new PNI-relevant work. https://www.pnirs.org/meetings
ISDP Conference Oct 2-4, 2024 in Chicago USA
The International Society of Developmental Psychobiology (ISDP), is an international organization founded in 1968 for the purpose of encouraging research on the development of behavior in all organisms including man, with special attention to the effects of biological factors operating at any level of organization.
ISDP 2024, the 57th Annual Meeting of the ISDP, will bring together a multidisciplinary group of over 300 international researchers from all areas of developmental psychobiology ranging from clinical psychiatrists to ethologists to molecular biologists with a common interest in promoting translational research by emphasizing the integration of basic and clinical research approaches. Symposium sessions will cover cutting-edge interdisciplinary data and novel methods relevant to longitudinal and translational models of development with special emphasis on how environmental factors, such as early adversity, alter developmental trajectories.
Research promoting both human and animal models highlighting complementary or translational work across species will be presented in Oral and Poster Sessions over three days with ample opportunity for networking and scientific discussion. ISDP’s annual meeting provides a unique opportunity for advanced researchers, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and undergraduate students who share a common interest in developmental processes share their science in a scholarly and collegial atmosphere with no competing sessions which facilitates interactions across disciplines and levels of expertise. https://isdp.org/current/
