Frontiers of Science seminar program is ready for autumn 2024. All seminars are on-site only at 12:00. Coffee and sandwich are served before each seminar.

Frontiers of Science is a 25-year-old seminar series arranged by BioCity Turku, where world-leading scientists are giving a talk and presenting their latest results from their field of research. The seminars are intended for both researchers and students and students can get ECTs from participation.

– This autumn, the program is once again exceptional, and BioCity Turku researchers have extended invitations to experts from various fields to share insights into their work, says BioCity Turku’s Scientific Director, Professor Klaus Elenius.

– We’ll all have an excellent opportunity to deepen our understanding of topics such as cancer research, macrophages, epigenomics, and RNA nuclear sorting, Elenius adds.

PhD researcher, have a face-to-face lunch with the speaker!

BioCity Turku offers a great possibility for PhD researchers and early-career postdocs to create connections for future and to learn hosting skills in a friendly environment. After each seminar, the speaker will have lunch with six PhD researchers or early-career postdocs. The atmosphere during the lunch is casual and positive, and the lunch is an excellent opportunity for all PhD researchers to start building their own scientific networks.
