ISPNE 2025 Hybrid Meeting

New Orleans, Louisiana

Psychoneuroendocrinology at the Intersection of Science and Society: Navigating Bridges between Stress & Health

Our 2025 conference theme gave ISPNE the opportunity to bridge across the many intersecting disciplinary borders of psychoneuroendocrinology. The theme reflected that ISPNE stands at a crossroads where our interdisciplinary strengths can powerfully buttress neighboring disciplines through emphasizing preclinical work and its translation as well as by providing a scientific foundation for advocacy, policy, and public awareness. New Orleans has a unique identity, and yet remains reminiscent of many cultural influences such as Spanish, French, Creole as well as resistance to colonization and marginalization amongst enslaved Black and Indigenous peoples. The 2025 ISPNE conference in New Orleans also embraced identity and intersectionality by hosting events that intend to help psychoneuroendocrinology forge pathways between science and society toward better health.

Technology in Psychoneuroendocrinology

This conference theme gave us the opportunity to explore technological advancements in psychoneuroendocrinological research over the past decade. The conference highlighted both technological advancements of the recent past and new advancements currently being developed. We explored the ways these advancements impact the future of psychoneuroendocrine research and its applications to treatment. Our virtual format consisting of prerecorded and invited talks, poster sessions, flash talks, and live sessions allowed people from across the globe to participate and share ideas with ISPNE's community of researchers.
