On the one hand, stress is known to suppress immune function and increase susceptibility to infections and cancer. This symposium explores the mind-body connection by examining the relationship between stress, stress hormones, and immune function. Speakers will examine these relationships at various levels of behavioral, organismal, cellular, and molecular detail. Time for audience questions and discussion will be allotted after every presentation and at the end of the symposium. The next talk, at 11 a.m., will be presented by Firdaus Dhabhar, assistant professor at the Health Sciences Center of The Ohio State University and an adjunct faculty member of the Laboratory Of Neuroendocrinology at Rockefeller.
