Frontiers of Science is a long-running seminar series, celebrating over 25 years of bringing internationally acclaimed researchers to Turku. Organized by BioCity Turku, the series features world-leading scientists presenting their most recent discoveries and innovative ideas across diverse fields of life sciences. The seminars are intended to both researchers and students, and students can also collect ECTs by participating.
– Once again, the autumn program promises to be exceptional. BioCity Turku researchers have invited an impressive line-up of speakers, offering fresh perspectives and breakthroughs from different areas of biomedical research, says BioCity Turku’s Scientific Director, Professor Klaus Elenius.
The Frontiers of Science seminar program for autumn 2025 is now ready. All seminars take place on-site in Presidentti auditorium in BioCity at 12:00, with coffee and sandwiches served before each seminar.
– One of our speakers is Professor Olli Kallioniemi from University of Helsinki, whose pioneering work in precision medicine and cancer research has had a global impact. During the autumn we will also hear about cutting-edge findings in immunology, cellular biology, and genome regulation, Elenius continues.
PhD researcher, have a face-to-face lunch with the speaker!
BioCity Turku warmly encourages PhD researchers and early-career postdocs to take part in an informal lunch with the seminar speakers. These lunches are a unique chance to build scientific networks, exchange ideas, and practice academic hosting skills in a relaxed and inspiring environment. After each seminar, six PhD researchers or postdocs will join the speaker for lunch, making this a valuable opportunity for anyone at the early stages of their career.
Frontiers of Science seminars are on Thursdays at 12:00
All seminars will be held on Thursdays at 12:00 in Presidentti auditorium, in BioCity building. No registration is required and coffee and sandwich is served at 11:45. Students wishing to collect ECTs should print the Seminar Diary and have it signed by the coordinator after each seminar.
