9th Massachusetts Life Sciences Innovation (MALSI) Day

Date: 

Thursday, June 2, 2016, 7:55am

Location: 

Harvard Club of Boston, 374 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA

It is the biggest day for life sciences startups and innovation in Massachusetts. This is a high-energy, hands-on event which brings together scientific leaders and business experts to mingle with scientists, post-docs, professors, entrepreneurs, innovators, and venture capitalists.  A key goal of the event is an exchange of ideas, to connect the broader scientific community with those working in finance and policy.  The earliest insight can, in time, foster an entire industry.

MALSI Day features conference sessions, networking and a Research & Start-up Showcase Poster Session with cash prizes for the three best posters as voted on by conference attendees and a select group of CEO judges. The deadline date to apply to present a poster is Monday, May 9, 2016

The poster session will showcase fundamental advances in research so they can be seen by a broader audience and help set the direction for where the industry could go in the future. About 30 posters from very early stage companies and from Massachusetts major research institutions will be displayed during the entire day of the event.

The poster session will give researchers and entrepreneurs an opportunity to showcase their work to a broad range of people in the community who are interested in the translation of technology from ideas to tangible products that can be used in industry.  With an attendance of over 400 people MALSI Day provides a highly visible place to publicize work and to gather supporters to start the commercialization process.
