Title is Immuno-Psychiatry: T cell pathogenesis and novel immune therapies for mood disorders
When: 9 December 14.00-17.00 CET online
The pathogenesis of mood disorders remains largely unexplained. The last three decades studies have identified several immune pathophysiological mechanisms and potential immune predictors of treatment outcome for mood disorders. The integration of all these data into a neuro-immune model starts to make it possible to identify homogeneous subgroups of patients, diagnosed by objective and quantifiable markers, which enables therapy strategies that are more effective than the regular ones because they are based on the correction of the underlying immune biological mechanisms.
Focus will be on introductions to premature T cell senescence, the role of CMV and a structured round table with chairs and speakers on a strategy to rapidly introduce T cell and anti-inflammatory therapies.

Online immunopsychiatry meetings

Join the bi-monthly online Immunopsychiatry Meetings. This is an exciting new forum bringing together scientists from around the world working at the intersection between psychiatry and immunology. The meetings alternate talks between world's leading scientists and early career scientists working in the field of immunopsychiatry. The meetings are supported by the ECNP Immuno-NeuroPsychiatry Network. The aim is to provide the opportunity for researchers interested in immunopsychiatry to come together and to share their research, exchange ideas, and engage in networking. The meetings are free and open to any scientist!

How to join
All interested scientist who wish to join the next meeting can join without registration here.

When
Monday 19 February at 17.00-18.00 CET, Anthony Vernon
Modelling immune activation in development using induced pluripotent stem cells.
