Registration to BioCity Symposium is now open!
As always, BioCity Symposium is arranged on-site in BioCity, Mauno Koivisto Centre, in 28–29 August 2025, with the title Transforming Drug Development for Tomorrow.
Registration is open until Friday, 15 August 2025.
Annual BioCity Symposium is a series of meetings organized since 1991 by BioCity Turku organization and it has become the most important annual get-together in the fields of biosciences and molecular medicine in Turku. The symposium gathers together hundreds of participants each year and offers talks from cutting-edge international researchers.
This year BioCity Symposium will cover drug development at many levels from different modalities, to overcoming “the valley of death” in academic drug development and clinical drug development strategies.
– This year’s program includes twelve talks from internationally recognized scientists, and the list of speakers is outstanding. The keynote speaker is professor Nathanael S. Gray from Stanford University who will tell us about discovery and validation of new strategies for the inhibition of anti-cancer targets, says professor Klaus Elenius, the Scientific Director of BioCity Turku.
