"This is the latest paper on 'Extending the Storage Time of Human Transplanted Organs' published by the Biological Research Laboratory of the University of Chicago. I have read it. The technology is only at the theoretical level. The only highlight of the paper is the storage solution." Liu Sichao said, adding The American medical journal in his hand was handed to Li Zheng.
Liu Sizhao still felt like he was in a dream about having a scientific research competition with the University of Chicago's biological laboratory. The current ninth laboratory, plus his family member Mr. Liang, are only two and a half people. Li Zheng and the two of them, although Mr. Liang is an adult, his professional level is negligible, even if he is half of him.
There are two and a half people, who are actually going to have a scientific research competition with the biology laboratory of the world famous University of Chicago. Even ten years ago, when he was young and energetic, he did not dare to pay such attention.
Li Zheng took over the paper and flipped through it, and then he understood what Liu Sichao meant.
Human beings are the most perfect work of God, and human organs are the most precise parts in the human body. For the heart, which is the most difficult organ to store, it has extremely high requirements on the temperature and chemical environment. To achieve this with the technology of the 1980s, the wealth consumed is simply beyond the reach of ordinary patients.
What the University of Chicago mentioned in extending the heart storage time, simulating the human environment and delaying the heart rate, is theoretically feasible, but from these empty statements, it is obvious that they have not developed specific experimental procedures.
Now the commonly used and best organ storage solution in the country is the UW solution developed by the University of Wisconsin in the United States. The refrigeration reference table issued by the American Organ Transplant Association in the mid-1980s is also based on the UW solution standard.
The biological laboratory of the University of Chicago has analyzed the composition of UW solution in detail, and started to reduce its side effects on the viscera and prolong the storage time of transplanted organs.
However, from the experimental results of his first stage, the effect of reducing the side effects of UW solution on transplanted organs is achieved, but the prolonged time is almost negligible.
Li Zheng laughed, "A typical Taurus project."
The Taurus project is considered a high-profit project in economics. However, this term is somewhat ironic when it is placed on the head of academic projects. It mostly refers to scientific research projects whose economic value is greater than academic value.
Just like this one from the University of Chicago Biological Laboratory, reducing the side effects of UW solution.
UW solution is the universal storage solution for transplant organs in the world. As soon as the Chicago paper comes out, the manufacturer of UW solution will naturally send money to the door. This is probably why the laboratory publishes the results of the first phase of the paper so quickly.
Moreover, Li Zheng guessed that it was not willing to give up the position of Hua Qingyi, probably because of this.
"You're right, the patent buyout fee for this project is not cheap." Liu Sichao clicked his tongue.
Li Zheng closed the journal, threw it on the table, and glanced at the thick stack of resumes beside him.
"How's the recruitment work going?" He wanted to snipe this golden bull, so he had to hurry up, otherwise his results would come out, and his lab had already received a patent buyout fee from a pharmaceutical company, so he would snipe it. Not a laboratory but a pharmaceutical company. If you want speed, you must have someone first.
"There are some graduate students who have started. I interviewed a few. Although the students of Huaqing University have weak hands-on ability, their learning ability is extremely strong. It only takes two or three repeated experiments to get started, and it is not a big problem."
"What is missing is a leader who can keep up with our ideas, and the hands-on ability must not be too weak. This is more difficult." When doing experiments, time is racing, and there is no time to explain to the students. At this time, they can keep up with their ideas. is very important.
but…
Li Zheng and Liu Sizhao frowned at the same time, this kind of person is not easy to find.
The recruitment time for the lead experimenter was set for the next morning. The sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel and sprinkled on the white big bed. Li Zheng's white toes moved, and he let out a moan.
There was so much trouble yesterday that he was sore and numb. Li Zheng turned his head to look at Liang Zhe, whose mouth was slightly open and whispered softly, and kicked him fiercely in the waist.
"Bang!" Liang Zhe was kicked to the ground.
He got up from the ground with his eyes half-open, facing Li Zheng and lying on the edge of the bed, showing an aggrieved expression.
"Azheng, it hurts."
"Deserving it!" Li Zheng snorted coldly, propped himself up and got up from the bed. He had an interview in the morning. Yesterday, he wanted to go to bed earlier, but Liang Zhe was about to start his new project. These days, they usually stick together, and they are unwilling to make trouble with him for half the night.
There was a sound of washing up in the bathroom, Liang Zhe giggled, got up and went to buy breakfast for Li Zheng.
"Sun Bin from the second grade, Lu Keke and Zheng Guangye from the third grade were admitted yesterday, and they are all top-notch in the Department of Biology. If it weren't for the fact that the professors' laboratories have not been openly recruited in the past two years, with their qualifications, It has long been possible to get in touch with front-line scientific research projects.”
"That's right, Zheng Guangye is also the chairman of the student council of the Department of Biology, the first prize of the National Biology Competition, a legend."
"I heard that this interview is for a formal experimenter, that is, a leader. To be honest, our academic level is not comparable to that of Senior Zheng and the others."
"Don't talk about us, the whole of Huaqing is hard to find." The corridor in the ninth laboratory was full of students who came to interview.
The voices of their discussions were not small, and they clearly reached the ears of Li Zheng and Liu Sizhao.
Liu Sizhao touched his nose, "Sun Bin and the others have good qualifications and have great potential. But it's still a little short to keep up with our ideas."
After another student went out, Li Zheng rubbed his temples. He missed Zhang Yuejun a little. Zhang Yuejun, a mature experimental dog, was picked up by Li Zheng directly in Xu Mingsheng's laboratory.
Xu Mingsheng has cultivated for many years, and he has long cultivated Zhang Yuejun's sense of smell in the laboratory, so that he and Li Zheng can quickly cooperate well. But Huaqing's students are different. Huaqing's scientific research resources are tight, and even professors have to work hard in the laboratory, let alone students.
Therefore, it is not generally difficult to pick out students from Huaqing who can keep up with the thinking of the two.
While talking, the next group of students came in.
A group of three people sat cautiously on the other side of the long table in front of them.
"Zhang Heyansan, Zhang Xuedongyansan, Meng Jieyan2?" Liu Sichao glanced at his resume and raised his head.
The three nodded quickly.
"Introduce yourself, long story short, and talk about your lab experience."
This recruitment requires laboratory experience, and all interviewees can speak more or less.
Zhang He and Zhang Xuedong talked freely, but when it was Meng Jie's turn, he stammered.
Li Zheng frowned slightly and raised his head.
"I... I, sam... participated..." Not a stammer, but a real stammer.
However, because the two of them were staring at him, Meng Jie's forehead soon seeped many fine beads of sweat. He tried his best to open his mouth to speak, but after a long time, he still lowered his head slumped.
"Yeah... sorry."
Li Zheng and Liu Sichao looked at each other, Li Zheng said, "It's okay." He lowered his head and wanted to put a cross on the name.
Meng Jie... Meng Jie
Li Zheng recited the name silently in his heart, then he couldn't help but look up at the dark, thin, stuttering young man, and suddenly had an absurd idea in his heart.
The father of embryo transfer in China in the future
Speaking of Meng Jie, the father of embryo transfer in China, he is a very tragic figure. Although he graduated from Huaqing, one of the highest universities in China, it was difficult to find a good job after graduation because of his natural stuttering.
Do the lowest level technical work in a laboratory for twenty years.
Later, he secretly conducted experiments in the laboratory and was discovered by the person in charge of the laboratory. He was kicked out of the laboratory and disappeared from the scientific research community.
It was not until many years after his death that embryo transfer technology developed and the first embryo transfer experiment in China was successful. When the biological community in China was rejoicing, foreign colleagues suddenly asked questions, didn't your country have completed the first embryo transfer experiment ten years ago
Only then did the Chinese find out that Meng Jie submitted a paper to a German medical journal ten years ago, but the paper was required to be revised due to English grammar and other reasons, but when the paper was returned, Meng Jie had already been kicked out of the experiment. room, which made the German side think that the Chinese voluntarily gave up publishing the paper.
It's just that the German reviewer has never discarded the manuscript, and has repeatedly stated in public that Chinese embryo transfer is at the world's leading level.
When the news was sent back to China, the biological community was in an uproar.
Everyone sighed at the fall of a genius, and Meng Jie's life was revealed to everyone.
Did he find a treasure
"Keep your internal organs active, two minutes, give me your thoughts." Li Zheng stared at Meng Jie without blinking.
Meng Jie was obviously more nervous. He made a "huge" sound in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single syllable.
Li Zheng tore off a piece of paper from his notebook and handed it to him along with his pen.
"Writing is fine."
Meng Jie heard the words, his eyes were grateful, he nodded vigorously, and took the pen and paper.
Sweat dripped from his forehead and wet the pages, and a trace of disgust flashed in Zhang He's eyes next to him.
He preemptively said: "Professor Li, let me talk first. To maintain the activity of the internal organs, as long as the temperature and blood circulation speed..." Zhang He's theoretical knowledge is obviously good.
"I... I'm fine, fine." Meng Jie said cautiously.
