Dear Colleagues,
Happy New Year! I hope this message finds you well and energized for what promises to be an exciting and productive year for our Society.
I am delighted to remind you that our PNIRS Annual Meeting will take place June 22-25, 2026 in New Orleans, Louisiana. We are thrilled to announce an outstanding lineup for the Presidential Symposium, with confirmed speakers including Dr. Saul Villeda, whose work explores how systemic and immune factors shape brain aging and cognitive function; Dr. Ozioma Okonkwo, a leader in Alzheimer’s disease research with a focus on neuroimaging, metabolic health, and risk disparities, and Dr. Moises Bauer, whose research examines neuroimmune mechanisms underlying stress, mood disorders, and brain-body interactions. An exciting educational short course program will be announced soon, along with additional details about member-sponsored symposia and invited speakers. I sincerely hope you will all join us for what is shaping up to be a scientifically exciting, and as always, fun meeting.
