The Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society (PNIRS) created an official Chinese regional affiliate in 2012, designated PNIRS. Now, just eight years later, the program has been so successful in advancing the science of psychoneuroimmunology that it has expanded to the whole of Asia-Oceania. In 2017, PNIRS became PNIRS. Between 2012 and 2019, this outreach affiliate of PNIRS organized seven symposia at major scientific meetings in China as well as nine others in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. This paper summarizes the remarkable growth of PNIRS. Here, regional experts who have been instrumental in organizing these PNIRS symposia briefly review and share their views about the past, present and future state of psychoneuroimmunology research in China, Taiwan, Australia and Japan. The newest initiative of PNIRS is connecting Asia-Pacific laboratories with those in Western countries through a simple web-based registration system. These efforts not only contribute to the efforts of PNIRS to serve a truly global scientific society but also to answer the imperative call of increasing diversity in our science.
心理神经免疫学研究学会（PNIRS）于 2012 年成立了官方的中文地区分会，命名为 PNIRS。仅仅八年之后，该项目在推进心理神经免疫学科学方面取得了如此巨大的成功，以至于已经扩展到整个亚洲-大洋洲地区。2017 年，PNIRS 更名为 PNIRS。在 2012 年至 2019 年期间，该学会的外联分会在中国的主要科学会议上组织了七次专题研讨会，在台湾、日本、韩国、澳大利亚和新西兰还组织了另外九次专题研讨会。本文总结了 PNIRS 的显著发展。在这里，曾在组织这些 PNIRS 专题研讨会上发挥重要作用的地区专家简要回顾并分享了他们对中国、台湾、澳大利亚和日本心理神经免疫学研究过去、现在和未来状况的看法。PNIRS 的最新举措是通过一个简单的基于网络的注册系统将亚太地区的实验室与西方国家的实验室联系起来。这些努力不仅有助于 PNIRS 为一个真正的全球科学界服务，而且有助于回应我们科学领域日益多样化的迫切呼吁。
