 Join Us Now: PNIRS_Asia-Pacific Global Research Connections

Connect with psychoneuroimmunology research laboratories on the China Mainland and the Taiwan region, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, India and other global institutions. Take a minute to join PNIRSAsia-Pacific Global Research Connections. This 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.

PNIRS_Asia-Pacific Global Research Connections: Spread the Word

The PNIRSAsia-Pacific committee promotes PNI/mind-body research in Eastern and Western countries by organizing symposia at major meetings throughout Asia-Oceania. Since 2012, we have organized 35 symposia in the China Mainland and the Taiwan region, Australia, Japan and South Korea. In order to expand these efforts and build more bridges among countries in the East and West, the committee has developed a set of marketing materials to be shared globally. The files contain a short 60 sec video (in both English and Mandarin) that highlights this new initiative, a two-page brochure that describes the aims and goals of PNIRSAsia-Pacific (written in both English and Mandarin) and a short overview in English that provides more specific information about PNI research in the East and West. We hope that these materials will attract scientists interested in mind-body research throughout Asia-Oceania to serve as speakers at these symposia by joining us at the PNIRSAsia-Pacific Global Research Connections website (https://pnirs.ansc.illinois.edu/). These promotional materials are free to all. The committee encourages them to be distributed widely to other scientists who want to learn and become more involved in promoting biomedical research dialogue between the East and the West.

Become a PNIRS_Asia-Pacific Scholar

In 2025, a new PNIRS award was established for professors at any rank to travel to the Asia-Pacific region to present their newest data on PNI research (https://www.pnirs.org/awards-lectures#New). PNIRSAsia-Pacific Scholars learn about Asian health practices by meeting face-to-face with Asian biomedical scientists engaged in PNI-related projects research. Limited travel funds are available when needed. If interested, contact [email protected].

 Congratulations Scholars
