In partnership with Elsevier, ADCNI is hosting the 2025 Cell Symposia on neuroimmune axis. This symposium will explore the groundbreaking field of peripheral neuroimmunology, which is reshaping our understanding of neuro-immune interactions in inflammation, cancer, and neurological diseases. This meeting highlights how these insights are transforming basic biological frameworks and opening new therapeutic avenues in medicine. https://www.cell-symposia.com/neuroimmunology-2025/

Our 1st Annual ADCNI Trainee Retreat was held this past week at the beautiful Bear Mountain Inn at NY’s Bear Mountain State Park. This was an amazing event where the Artis, Chang, Enamorado, Hu, Kim, Littman, Merad, and Naik labs all came together to share their latest work, exchange ideas, and firm up collaborations. Thanks to all the wonderful trainees from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Weill Cornell Medicine, NYU Langone Health, and Yale School of Medicine. Special thanks to The Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group and The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation for making this all possible.

The ADCNI hosted a coffee chat for science teachers from high schools in several NYC underserved communities. Brian and Hongzhen shared about the science and discoveries underway at ADCNI. In an inspiring exchange, the teachers recounted their own experiences, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs of nurturing the next generation of scientists. ADCNI extends its heartfelt gratitude to these dedicated educators for their unwavering commitment and hard work. We eagerly anticipate collaborating to foster the inquisitive minds of tomorrow. A special thanks to Denise Croote, Veronica Szarejko, and Natalia Biscola from the Friedman Brain Institute for their instrumental support in making this event possible.

The community-building, retreat-style program celebrated interaction between Allen Frontier investigators from multiple fields, including Awardees and Allen Institute scientists. The highlight of the event was a picturesque dinner cruise on Lake Washington, offering endless vistas of the majestic Mount Rainier.  Thank you PGAFG for this amazing opportunity!

Dr. Kara Margolis, the Director of the NYU Pain Research Center, will be conducting a special seminar at the ADCNI on May 23, 2024. She will be speaking on “Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction and Mood: Clinical Implications and a Novel Intervention Strategy.”
