Therefore\, novel drug targets need to be identified and new drugs need to be discovered to target the disease-driving mechanisms. In this s ymposium\, we will focus on academic drug discovery and on mechanisms how the promising new compounds identified in  academic setting can be conve rted to commercially viable industrial drug development programs. The symp osium will also cover exciting new approaches to select the most suitable patient populations for the emerging therapies.\n\n \;\nRegistration i s open!\nRegistration to the BioCity Symposium is open until Friday 15 Au gust 2025\, 23:59 (CET+1)\n\nPlease take a look at the registration detail s: https://biocityturku.fi/biocity-symposium/registration/\n\n \;\nInv ited speakers\nPetri Bono\, Faron Pharmaceuticals\, Finland\nAnniina Färk kilä\, University of Helsinki\, Finland\nCarmen Galan\, University of Bri stol\, UK\nNathanael S.
