This year, BioCity Symposium is arranged on-site in Mauno Koivisto Centre, BioCity on 25–26 August 2023, with the title Sculpting tissues – Cells matrix and forces. Registration is open until Friday, 11 August 2023.
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’s BioCity Symposium will explore the mechanisms regulating tissue architecture and homeostasis in biological organisms. The speakers will tell to the audience how the reciprocal interplay between cells and their microenvironment is essential when building healthy tissues, and how dysregulation ultimately leads to disease.
– This year’s program includes eleven talks from international scientists spiced up with short talks from Finnish researchers, and the list of speakers is outstanding. The keynote speaker is EMBO Director Fiona Watt, who’s talk is about stem cell dynamics in human skin, says professor Klaus Elenius, the Scientific Director of BioCity Turku.
