A study conducted at the Food Sciences unit of the University of Turku showed that different processing methods significantly affect the biochemical composition of plant-based foods. Current food classification systems do not sufficiently acknowledge the biochemical composition of the product.
This year, BioCity Symposium is arranged on-site in Mauno Koivisto Centre, BioCity in 28–29 August 2025, with the title Transforming Drug Development for Tomorrow. Registration is open until Friday, 15 August 2025.
In a new study, researchers produced nanomaterials that could be used in developing more accurate sensors for healthcare in the future. For example, the levels of female hormones are so low that very sensitive sensors are needed to detect their fluctuations in the body.
In the context of the 34th BioCity Symposium “Transforming Drug Development for Tomorrow” (28-29 August 2025) the twenty-first Elias Tillandz prize will be awarded for the best scientific paper published in 2024 in Turku.
