Associate Professor of Human Development and Social Policy, Northwestern University
Department of Psychiatry / Health Psychology Seminar Series: "Mind and Biology: Mechanisms and Models "
The Mind and Biology Seminar Series provides a discussion forum for faculty and students at UCSF and other local universities interested in the interactions among stress and psychological factors, the nervous system, peripheral biological systems (the autonomic nervous system, hormonal systems, the immune system) and health/disease. The seminar series is particularly focused on understanding physiological mechanisms that link the mind to health and disease as well as exploring these relationships at a conceptual level. Some sessions include presentations by researchers from around the Bay area or invited speakers from outside the Bay area. Others focus on discussion of timely topics or relevant new findings. The sessions are open to interested researchers and students.
Sponsored by the Center for Health and Community at UCSF and co-facilitated by Margaret Kemeny, Elissa Epel, and Owen Wolkowitz. Please feel free to bring along a packed lunch.
