KANNAPOLIS — Biotechnology is not just for scientists, Kenneth Paulus said to approximately 75 MBA students from Lovely Professional University in India on Thursday. The students visited the North Carolina Research Campus as a part of their four-week international business program offered through UNC Charlotte, which will end on Saturday.
Throughout the past few weeks, the students have attended business classes, met with business managers, participated in cultural activities and heard guest lecturers and panel discussions. Learning about the research campus was a part of Entrepreneurship Day.
"Their program has been to study business school processes and differences in business cultures between India and the U.S.," said Paulus, assistant director for business and entrepreneurial development for the Charlotte Research Institute at UNC Charlotte.
While at the research campus, the students heard a presentation from Sheetal Ghelani about the various studies being done there. Ghelani also told the students about the partnerships between businesses and universities and the research campus.
"It takes all types (of people) to do every little function at this place," Ghelani said.
After the presentation, the students took pictures around the David H. Murdock Research Institute before returning to UNC Charlotte.
Hearing about the latest research and technology was fascinating for the students and something that several said they will keep in mind when they return home.
"In India, we don't have that advanced technology," Puja Chopra, 24. "We, being the youth, are responsible. I would like to say I would take all of this innovation to India. This type of strategy should be followed in India."
Most importantly was the idea that business professionals can be involved with research studies, which students said was great to hear.
"It is not only for engineering or medical students," Chopra said. "The best opportunities are for all kinds of students."
