PNIRSAsia-Pacific SYMPOSIUM IN JAPAN 2019
Professors Atsuyoshi Shimada and Keith W. Kelley submitted a successful symposium application on behalf of the PNIRSAsia-Pacific symposium committee to Neuro2019. This will be 42nd Annual Meeting of the Japan Neuroscience Society and the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Neurochemistry. The meeting will be held from July 25-28 in in Niigata, Japan (www.neuro2019.jnss.org/en/information.html). The symposium title is, “Neuroinflammation and the Blood Brain Interface: New findings in brain pathology.” Drs. Shimada and Kelley will chair the symposium, and speakers will be
Antoine Louveau (Department of Neuroscience, Lerner Research Institute, Cleveland Clinic, William A. Banks (Division of Gerontology & Geriatric Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Washington) Michael Dragunow?Centre for Brain Research, The University of Auckland) and Atsuyoshi Shimada (Kyorin University Faculty of Health Sciences). It is noteworthy that another PNI symposium will be held just prior to the PNIRSAsia-Pacific symposium. It is entitled, “Neuro-Immune Crosstalk: Its role in the pathogenesis and perspectives for novel therapies” and will feature two former PNIRS speakers, Professors Michal Schwartz (Weizmann Institute of Science)and Asya Rolls (Technion. Israel Institute of Technology). The Japan Neuroscience Society has a membership of 5,000 scientists and is the leading neuroscience society in the country, with most Japanese neuroscientists in attendance.
PNIRSAsia-Pacific TRAVELS TO KOREA 2019
The PNIRSAsia-Pacific committee’s symposium proposal to the 10th World Congress of Neuroscience (International Brain Research Organization; IBRO) was accepted. The IBRO meeting will be held at the Daegu Convention & Exhibition Center, Korea, from September 21-25 (www.ibro2019). The title of the PNIRS symposium is “Dialing in the Dialogue Between Inflammation and the Brain.” Keith W. Kelley is the organizer and chair, and speakers are Elisa Hill (RMIT University, Australia), Sarah J. Spencer (RMIT University, Australia), Suzi Hong (Univ. of California San Diego, USA) and Mark Hutchinson (University of Adelaide, Australia). The IBRO World Congress has been held every four years since 1982 and is one of the most prestigious international meetings attended by over 4,000 global neuroscientists.
CHINESE ASSOCIATION FOR PHYSIOLOGICAL SCIENCES SYMPOSIUM
Another warm welcome of NIRSAsia Pacific on the mainland of China in Nanchang by the Chinese Association For Physiological Sciences. Nearly 150 scientists attended the symposium to learn about interdisciplinary research of six scientists from PNIRS. Congrats to Prof. Yu-Ping Peng for organizing another very successful PNIRSNIRSAsia Pacific symposium. photos.app.goo.gl/GJXAyRB2UxYGBAjeA
