Dr Mark Eccleston Represents OncoLytika at formal event
Dr Mark Eccleston, managing director of OncoLytika, was invited to a formal dinner at college to celebrate the highly successful Cambridge/Beijing event. Dr Eccleston later judged the final Dragon's Den style business plan competition between 2 teams of visiting students. Commenting of the event, Mark stated "this was an excellent opportunity for the students attending the summer school to get a taste of UK academic life. Also for Cambridge, and in particular the department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, to raise it's profile in China. Attracting the best overseas students is increasingly important in a highly competitive landscape and events such as these can make a long lasting impression. The students were incredibly enthusiastic and quick on the uptake. The final business plan presentations were impressive, particularly the language skills which were exemplary.
