Where: Mansfield Bio-Incubator 241 Francis Ave, Mansfield, MA

Cost: Free

About the event:

In addition to being Mansfield Bio-Incubator’s COO, Dr. Alexander Margulis has been channeling his life-long music appreciation as DJ Shechlectic since 2021. In his sets, he creates an ambiance matching the settings, be it on the beach, in the forest, or in this case, in Mansfield Bio-Incubator’s event space, weaving together various genres such as downtempo, minimal tech, deeptech, tech house, and techno, to name a few. He has a penchant for eclectic, complex, yet dancefloor-friendly and engaging melodies and beats. His set will be an amalgam of house remixes of popular songs and more underground cuts. He performed at several festivals on both coasts, fundraisers, and even at events here at Mansfield Bio-Incubator.

His pandemic-fueled foray into DJing inspired his spouse, Sara Levy, to take up stand-up comedy, finding the humor in challenges such as family, landlords, and travel. Since 2024, she has performed 5–7-minute routines at open mikes around the Boston Area and New York city.  She recently took comedy classes at Duck Duck Goofs in Somerville, and created hilarious sets, based on skills learned there.    She will kick off the evening by performing a 7-minute routine.

Wine, beer, soft drinks and snacks will be served

• This provides an excellent opportunity to get your company name, products and services out there – to make yourself and your company known.

• And a great way to meet potential customers and increase your customer base.

The networking will be followed by a DJ set of house music by Alexander Margulis, Mansfield Bio-Incubator’s COO, who has deep passion for electronic music. In addition, Sara Levy, his spouse, will perform an 7-minute stand-up comedy routine.

Event Description

Your startup is built on innovation—now it’s time to protect it. Intellectual property (IP) plays a key role in turning breakthrough ideas into sustainable businesses, especially in biotech where the stakes are high, and timelines are long.

Join us for an interactive roundtable designed for early-stage startups. We'll break down the core concepts of IP and focus on what matters most to growing companies: identifying, protecting, and strategically leveraging your IP assets.

Expect a collaborative discussion featuring real-world examples, common challenges, and expert insights from Nicole Palmer, a partner at Boston-based IP law firm, Lando & Anastasi, LLP.

What You’ll Learn

• The basics: patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets

• How to spot the IP hidden in your day-to-day work

• Missteps to avoid early on

• How to start building an IP portfolio—even with limited resources

• Why IP matters when talking to investors or planning for growth

Whether you're just getting started or scaling up, this roundtable will give you the tools to make smart, strategic IP decisions as your company evolves.

Please join us to learn how the MLSC supports diverse entrepreneurs and early-stage life science companies through MassNextGen and other initiatives.

Awardees of the program will receive a year-long customized package of support, which includes non-dilutive grant funding, lab bench at a sponsoring incubator, and access to a network of seasoned professionals from the life sciences ecosystem helping them to refine their business strategies and effectively raise capital. In addition, awardees will highlight their company to sponsors, awardees, and representatives of venture capital firms at the end of the program year in a “showcase” event to promote relationship building.
