An experimental record from a Chinese
They do not remember that China has any research on human genes. Du Bock said in the manifesto that the whole world should unite, and human beings should carry out this plan with the spirit of conquering the universe, and this plan should become an international project .
Rao is so, these people did not include China in their international concept.
They didn't do it on purpose. Scientists don't care about politics but only about strength, and they don't think Chinese scholars have the ability to help them in this plan.
Otherwise, even if governments are not happy, these world-class treasures will never allow politics to hinder their scientific careers.
There were whispers in the lecture hall, and Berg raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
He leaned forward slightly to make his voice better received by the microphone, "Li, my friend, are you interested in explaining the little problems you encountered in your experiment in person?"
Li Zheng sat at the back of the lecture hall. Although foreigners do not have the tradition of judging seniority, the principle of respecting strength applies everywhere in the world.
The ranking of the lecture hall is almost based on the status of the scholars in the world. Occasionally, because of the good relationship between so-and-so and so-and-so, or because of the cooperation relationship, Li Zheng is the younger generation emerging in recent years. , the seat will naturally not be forward. Only because of the United Nations' most influential biological person and Dorman incident of the previous year, it was barely ranked last.
The lecture hall in Cold Spring Harbor is very modern, for example, it is equipped with a small microphone in each seat. If Li Zheng is really an 18-year-old boy, he might not be able to resist the temptation to show his chance in front of these big men at the top of the biological pyramid, but he is a soul in his thirties, and he knows the huge gap between himself and Berg. , Some words are still more convincing from Berg's mouth.
"Mr. Berg, you know the current situation of genetic research in various countries better than I do. No one is more suitable for this work." Li Zheng said with a smile.
Fluent English brings the unique warmth of Orientals when speaking, which makes people feel good.
"Li... Zheng, isn't he from Xiangjiang?"
"I heard that he is of Chinese nationality, but he has always lived in Xiangjiang, and only returned to China to teach last year."
"What an amazing young man."
So far, Li Zheng has truly been accepted as a member of the top of the current biological pyramid.
Berg laughed lightly, and he no longer refused, with a solemn expression, and began to explain Li Zheng's unfinished experiment.
The world's best biologists gathered to hear an experiment that was less than 40 percent complete, and it was a very unique experience for these scientists.
There was not a trace of relief on their faces, however, as they quickly realized the significance behind the experiment as they turned the slides.
The experiment visualizes the role of genes in the fight against disease in humans.
It was like a strategic game. They stood at the fork in the game. After arguing for a long time, they finally decided which way to go, but they were not sure what was behind this road.
And now, a semi-finished game guide appeared in front of them, yes, it was only a semi-finished product, but for these scientists, it was enough!
Through this unfinished experimental project, they saw the future of the genetic project.
"Oh, targeting and suppressing the mutated gene to destroy cancer cells! It's an absolutely bold idea, but I have to admit, it's theoretically feasible. In this experiment, the subject of non-small cell lung cancer For example, as long as the mutated gene is found and the target is identified, this experiment can be completed!"
"This is a new direction for fighting tumors! Oh, I'm so excited!" The author was an authoritative biologist in the field of anti-tumor in the United States. He has expressed more than once in public that he should pay attention to understanding the important role of the human genome in fighting cancer. , and proposed to kill cancer cells by suppressing mutated genes.
But he was still only at the stage of imagination and theoretical demonstration, and the experimental record in front of him convincingly proved that his idea was feasible, which made the old scientist tremble with excitement.
He stood up from his seat, walked back quickly, and walked to Li Zheng's side.
"Mr. Li, I know this kind of request is a bit abrupt, but can you let me participate in your next experiment? Completing the entire Human Genome Project is a big project that requires the participation of all human beings, but if it's just the non-small cell lung cancer part , it will be much easier, in one year, maybe half a year, the history of mankind's fight against cancer will be rewritten."
With the deepening of human understanding of cancer, everyone also understands that the same type of cancer has to be divided into different types because of different pathologies. The cancer drug market has always been oversupplied. In this era, the most effective way to fight cancer is chemotherapy. It is an indiscriminate treatment modality that works for all cancer types.
But at the same time, the side effects of chemotherapy are not for everyone. Internationally, there is no objection to the need for chemotherapy for cancer treatment, but the debate on the number of chemotherapy has never stopped. In the end, biologists and medical scientists have concluded through numerous experiments that the combination of chemotherapy and drugs is the treatment that does the least harm to the human body. .
This presents a problem, not all types of cancer have a drug treatment, such as squamous epithelial cancer cells, there is no drug for it in the eighties.
Patients with this type of lung cancer can only be treated with chemotherapy, and then they are left to their fate.
The emergence of targeted drugs will change this situation. As long as the target is found, it will be a matter of time before the corresponding drug is produced.
Professor Ruiz's lung cancer research is in a leading position in the world. He is confident that the integration and sharing of experimental resources between him and Li Zheng can promote the early launch of this targeted drug for non-small cell lung cancer!
Seeing Professor Ruiz walking in front of him, Li Zheng immediately stood up. Of course, he knew the authority on cancer in front of him. In Li Zheng's last life, Professor Ruiz gave birth to two types of lung cancer. The two anti-cancer drugs have become the necessary drugs against lung cancer in the International Anti-Cancer Handbook.
This project was made by Li Zheng in order to convince Watson to let himself participate in the Human Genome Project, but when he saw Professor Ruiz's hopeful eyes, he suddenly felt a little ashamed.
The Human Genome Project is truly great, and participation in it is almost every biologist's dream. Like an astronaut, wouldn't he want to get involved if he were to go back to the days when the Apollo program was launched
only…
Li Zheng took a deep breath and tried to calm down the excitement he had caused by participating in the Human Genome Project. Yes, he was overwhelmed by this great project and forgot what he should do as a biopharmaceutical person.
In his last life, he gave up life science and returned to China to devote himself to the pharmaceutical industry. He almost forgot.
"Of course, if you can participate, Professor Ruiz, I believe this drug will soon appear in everyone." Li Zheng said calmly.
There was a big smile on Ruiz's face, "This is great, Lee, I have a lab in New York, or we'll go there now, I've got a lot of inspiration in my head, and I can't wait to put it together. He made it into reality."
"I think my dream will soon come true, an unprecedented anti-cancer drug, in fact, I have some research on lung cancer mutation genes, your ideas and my experimental data, this is really the most wonderful combination in the world I'm done." Ruiz took Li Zheng's hand and was about to pull him out.
Berg and Gilbert on the stage looked at each other, this... just gone
The meeting had only just begun, and they had not had time to discuss the plans for future genome research after the official launch, and the two just left.
"Professor Li, Ruiz." Berg coughed dryly and couldn't help but said, "Our meeting is not over yet."
Everyone in the laboratory could not help but turn their heads to look at the two people who had stood up.
Hearing this, Ruiz turned around and spread his hands, "Berg, I trust you, you will make a plan, remember the part that was forgotten to arrange me and Li, I think I have more important things now, oh no, yes More urgent things to do, you don't want the first targeted drug, yes, targeted drugs, you don't want it to be available as soon as possible."
The laboratory suddenly became noisy, and the geneticists felt that Ruiz and Li had lost their way. In their view, the genome project was a scientific journey to explore the mysteries of human beings and understand the human body itself. Ruiz and Li were Entangled in a mutated gene, I really picked up the watermelon and lost the sesame seeds.
But the pragmatic biologists don’t think so. The governments of various countries support their research so strongly. What is the purpose of understanding the mystery of the human body? Yes, there are some factors in this regard. Optimize genes.
As beings at the top of the world's biology, how can they not know about the human body optimization plan that is going on in those mysterious laboratories of the government, super soldiers, this is not just a fantasy in American movies, after human beings know genes and have the means to optimize genes, The things in these movies are completely doable.
However, where does the government use to fund scientific research, it belongs to taxpayers. Ordinary people don't care about your super soldier program, they only care about their own vital interests.
medicine! Anticancer drugs! This is the only reason governments can persuade the masses to come up with the money.
Everyone present had a hunch that if the two people in front of them could really be the first targeted drug to come out, governments around the world would rush to invest in this plan.
