Following a success of the very first Triangle conference we hosted in 2024, we invite you to join our second Triangle Neuroscience 2025 Conference, to be held in Suzhou, China this year.

This conference is the product of a fruitful continued collaboration of three esteemed Universities - Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), Jiaxing University (JXU) and Zhejiang Chinese Medical University (ZCMU). Also supported by the International Stress and Behavior Society (ISBS), the meeting is expected to provide a platform for researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals to come together and share their insights and experiences in all aspects of modern neuroscience.

We are delighted to welcome your participation in this conference, and hope that you will take this opportunity to network, learn, and contribute to the advancement of neuroscience.

Looking forward to welcoming you in September in Suzhou – historically, one of China’s most beautiful ancient cities.

Allan V. KALUEFF XJTLU Co-Chair
Vladimir PARPURA ZCMU Co-Chair
