Biographie:

Jan Pieter Konsman, received a Master?s Degree in Neurobiology from the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. He obtained his PhD from the Bordeaux University in France for his work on immune-to-brain communication. He then did his post-doctoral training at the University of Link?ping in Sweden working on the distribution of the interleukin-1 receptor in the rodent brain. Dr. Konsman next took up a permanent position at the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique in France working on neuroimmune substrates of disease-associated anorexia and encephalopathy. He also holds a Master degree in History and Philosophy of Science and is interested in interdisciplinary approaches of the mind-body problem.

Teresa M. Reyes received her PhD in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in which she examined how circulating cytokines affect memory and behavior in a non-human primate model. For her postdoctoral training, she joined the Laboratory of Neuronal Structure and Function, at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, CA.  Here she extended her training to neuroanatomical studies of neuroimmune interactions using rodent models. Dr. Reyes is currently on the faculty of the University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine within the Department of Pharmacology and Systems Physiology. Dr. Reyes?s research program is focused on identifying the mechanisms that underlie the effect of adversity in early life on brain development, with a specific interest in neuroimmune interactions and cognition.
