Psychoneuroimmunology

Dr. Ader is currently Director of the Division of Behavioral and Psychosocial Medicine and Director of the Center for Psychoneuroimmunology Research. Dr.Ader edited Psychoneuroimmunology, referred to as "the signature volume of anew field of research," and co-edited the second edition in 1991. He serves on the Editorial Board of several journals and is the Editor-in-Chief of Brain, Behavior, and Immunity. Dr. Ader is the past President of the American Psychosomatic Society, the International Society for Developmental Psychobiology, the Academy of Behvaioral Medicine Research, and Founding President of the Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society.
Dr. Felton was a co-editor ofPsychoneuroimmunology, Second Edition and Associate Editor of Brain, Behavior, and Immunity. Dr. Felton is currently Professor in the Department of Anatomy and Pathology and Director of the Center for Neuroimmunology at the Loma Linda University School of Medicine.
Dr. Cohen is currently Professor of Microbiology and Immunology and Director of the Immunology, Microbiology, and Vaccine Biology Graduate Program. He holds secondary appointments as Professor of Psychiatry and Oncology and is an Associate Director of the Center for Psychonueuroimmunology Research.
