30th APS Annual Convention

Examining Immune Functioning and Adversity: Novel Methodologies and Considerations for Replicability

Friday, May 25, 2018 · San Francisco, CA

Oral · Clinical Science

We will discuss innovative methodological approaches to studying the association between immune functioning and adversity. Three individual talks will focus on a separate mode of immune functioning (i.e., inflammation, oxidative stress/metabolic adaptations, and genetics). The final talk will center on the role of methodological practices in replicability and future directions.
