ECNP Immuno-NeuroPsychiatry
University of Bordeaux
This interdisciplinary Bordeaux Summer School is open to graduate students, doctoral and post-doctoral researchers from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, biology and medicine. Course content focuses on dimensional approaches in psychiatry, preclinical models and methods to measure immune markers. Lectures on hot topics in immunopsychiatry will be given by internationally renowned scientists from the field.
Immune processes are major factors for the health of the central nervous system, as well as for risk or resilience to brain disorders. Exciting scientific insights indicate a highly sensitive and fine-tuned equilibrium of inflammation that modulates our cognitive and social abilities.
Course content combines lectures and practical sessions on hot topics in immunopsychiatry, as well as educational workshops on cytokine measurement, maternal immune activation or meta-analysis. The programme is delivered and developed by researchers belonging to the ECNP immuno-neuropsychiatry network.
In addition to the lectures and practical sessions, students and speakers will share lunches and dinners in an environment encouraging exchange and reflection. To faciliate collaboration, a “speed dating” event with each course leader will be organised.
