SOBP Annual Scientific Meeting
Our Annual Meetings are designed to provide participants with the education and cutting-edge research to expand their knowledge and improve their research and patient care by learning about new advances in the field of basic, translational and clinical research in neuroscience and psychiatry. During the meeting, there are plenary sessions each morning, daily workshops/discussions, symposia and paper sessions each afternoon, and poster sessions each night. Lectures are followed by ample time for audience-faculty interaction. The annual meeting is also an opportunity for participants to expand their peer network and meet new colleagues from around the world.
73rd Annual Scientific Convention
May 10-12, 2018
New York City, New York
“Biomarkers, Biomodels, and Psychiatric Disorders”
The National Institutes of Health Biomarkers Definitions Working Group in 1998 defined a biomarker as “a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention.” The theme of the SOBP 2018 Annual Meeting intends to bring attendees up-to-date on research in the area of biomarkers and the use of biomodels to further our understanding of the mechanisms underlying and contributing to psychiatric disease.
