This year as always, BioCity Symposium is arranged on-site in Mauno Koivisto Centre, BioCity in 27–28 August 2025, with the title VISION, EXPANDED. Registration is open until Friday, 14 August 2026.
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 brings together leading minds from academia and industry to explore imaging’s central role in life science discovery. The Symposium will spotlight cutting-edge advances in light microscopy, PET imaging, and AI-powered image analysis, while fostering dialogue on data integration, emerging scientific applications, and translational potential. Expect high-level talks and vibrant discussion that push the boundaries of imaging science.
– This year’s program includes talks from internationally recognized scientists, and the list of speakers is outstanding. The keynote speakers are Samantha Stehbens from The University of Queensland, Australia and Harry Hu from Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida, USA, says Klaus Elenius, the Scientific Director of BioCity Turku.
– The invited speakers are specialists in either medical or biological imaging, and together they cover both areas, making the event appealing for all researchers interested in imaging, Elenius continues.
