SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Formation and Licensing: What Founders Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Launching a life sciences company requires more than a breakthrough idea—it demands building the right corporate foundation from day one. In this Virtual Lunch & Learn session\, aspiring founders will gain practical\, actionable insight into two core pillars of early‑stage biotech company formation. First\, we will cover why corporate formation matters and what founders need to get right early on: choosing the appropriate corporate structure\, properly issuing founder equity\, creating and maintaining a clean cap table\, establishing a functional board of directors\, and preparing for future financing. These elements are essential for attracting investors\, protecting founder ownership\, and avoiding preventable legal and operational pitfalls.\n\nSecond\, attendees will learn what to expect when in‑licensing foundational intellectual property from a university\, academic medical center\, or research institution—the critical step that often enables company formation in life sciences. We will demystify the tech transfer process\, discuss typical economic and diligence terms\, and highlight common negotiation and operational considerations so founders understand both the opportunities and obligations that come with licensing core IP. Whether you are preparing to launch your first venture or exploring commercial pathways for your science\, this session will provide clarity\, context\, and confidence as you take the next steps on your entrepreneurial journey.\nTags: biotech\, entrepreneur\, funding\, networking\, science\, startup\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482519

SUMMARY:AI and the Future of Healthcare (Panel)
DESCRIPTION:🚨 [REGISTER ON LUMA](https://luma.com/7foh0akk) 🚨 \nWill we even need doctors in five years\, or are we watching the birth of something radically new? This panel confronts the rapid rise of AI in medicine\, from AI-led diagnosis and robotic healing to empowered patients disrupting care models. \nBringing together an AI ethicist\, a cancer patient innovating with digital tools\, and a physician shaping future medical education\, the session explores whether artificial intelligence will make the doctor extinct—or challenge clinicians\, patients\, and technologists to invent a more compassionate\, intelligent partnership for tomorrow’s healthcare. \n**Panelists:**\n**Arpi Chalian\, MD**\n*Founder\, Chalian Consulting*\nDr. Arpi Chalian is dual board-certified in Pediatrics and Clinical Informatics. She drives healthcare transformation through digital innovation and AI\, advising startups and institutions such as Caltech’s Merkin Institute. \n**Burt Rosen**\n*Director Marketing Innovations at Oregon State University*\n*A guy with two types of cancer*\nBurt Rosen was diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and renal cell carcinoma. Burt brings AI into his care\, using it to track labs\, understand imaging\, and make better decisions. \n**Janet Johnson\, Moderator**\n*Founder\, AI Governance Group*\nJanet Johnson is Founder of the AI Governance Group and an adjunct professor at Portland State University. Specializing in AI ethics and strategic risk management\, she guides organizations to harness AI responsibly \n**Special thanks to our event sponsor: [Boomi](boomi.com)**\n*In 2026\, the promise of AI in medicine—predictive diagnostics\, robotic care\, and personalized patient pathways—has collided with the reality of fragmented\, legacy-bound data.
