After Zhao Depei finished speaking, he stared at the three people's reactions. Seeing the faces of the three of them were happy but not shocked, I couldn't help but have a very complicated feeling in my heart.
As for Dean Zhou, I couldn't even tell what it felt like. Zhao Depei was not born in biology, but he was.
"cell", one of the top three international biology journals, has only a handful of scholars in China who have published papers in such journals. Even his entire dean of biology has no such experience.
Now, three of his students have done it.
In the morning, when he passed the doorman, he happened to meet the postman coming to deliver the letter.
He heard the postman chatting with the doorman.
"As expected of one of the top universities in China, these letters are all different, all in English."
"That's right, our professors, they're all international, don't speak English, just French, German, they can too!"
"It's amazing." The courier said, and took out three letters from the package, one of which fell to the ground accidentally, making a heavy noise.
Dean Zhou looked at the ground subconsciously, and his eyes seemed to stick to it.
"cell" editorial department? !
, he repeated the spelling again, yes, "Cell"!
So Dean Zhou picked up the parcel not far away in a "quick thunderbolt". The parcel was already in hand, and the excitement in his heart was even more intense and heavy.
This shows what
In general, a journal will reject a manuscript, and it will be a rejection note. The rejection notes how much a piece of paper can weigh? The drafting instructions are also a piece of paper, but if the journals are arranged in time, there will be a sample journal along with the drafting instructions.
Although it is a journal of the level of "cell", it usually takes half a year to arrange the manuscript after the manuscript is passed, and this will not happen. But the heavy parcel in front of Dean Zhou's eyes could clearly feel that it contained an A4-sized journal.
Sample
Dean Zhou's heart couldn't help beating quickly.
"President Zhou!" The guard quickly got up and said hello.
The postman was startled, the dean of Huaqing!
Dean Zhou smiled and nodded, but his eyes did not leave the parcel for a moment.
These three names are familiar to him!
Those from the ninth laboratory!
The Human Genome Project, the entire biological circle of Hua Kingdom was buzzing, but these three little guys took advantage of it. How could he not be impressed.
Dean Zhou took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said, "These three are students in my academy, let me take them there."
Of course, the doorman would not refuse.
When Dean Zhou was far away, the postman said with emotion: "As expected of the Dean of Huaqing, he has no pretense at all, and he even helps students get mail."
The old guard smiled proudly, "Yes, our dean is all right."
After Dean Zhou got the parcel, he went straight to the principal's office without even going to the office. After he and Zhao Depei studied the three parcels for a while, this time there was the call that Sun Bin received.
"It's your parcel, so Dean Zhou and I didn't open it either. There are scissors next to it. You can unpack it yourself." Zhao Depei said.
That's what Sun Bin and the others were waiting for. The three of them rushed up like people who had been hungry for several days and suddenly saw delicious food, one parcel per person.
There is only one pair of scissors, one person has it, and the other two people don't have it.
However, the other two did not intend to wait for the first person to use it up before opening the package. They even pulled and pulled, and all three packages were opened.
The well-organized draft explained that there was a signature of the editor-in-chief of cell on it. Sun Bin couldn't help laughing and kissed the editor-in-chief's signature forcefully!
Zhao Depei, who wanted to take a look at the draft explanation, held out his hand, which froze in place, and silently took it back. The draft explanation smeared with saliva, he should forget it.
It was Meng Jie who saw the thoughts of the principal and the dean, and after smirking for a while, handed over his draft instructions to the two of them.
The two hurriedly took it and read it word by word.
Lu Keke was the first to discover the cover of the sample issue.
"Future Medicine and Infinite Organ Storage Technology"
cover! The cover features Professor Li and Infinite Time Organ Storage Technology!
In addition to the last in vitro organ regeneration technology, Li Zheng has been on the cover of two top international biology journals in a row.
Foreign media's sense of smell in scientific research is far higher than that of domestic media.
In vitro organ regeneration technology and infinite-time organ storage technology, two technologies under Li Zheng's name were put together, and they quickly discovered Li Zheng's layout for future medical care.
"Chinese scientists and future medical care."
"Huaguo is already at the forefront of international medical technology."
"The ticket to the future of medical care has emerged."
A mainstream Swiss newspaper published the title of "Human Lifespan and Organ Technology", which means that Li Zheng's medical technology has officially entered the attention of the Nobel jury.
When the domestic media reacted and the praise was spread out without money, Li Zheng also received a call from Ruiz.
"Li, the Phase 1 trial of erlotinib has gone very well, and the FDA has basically affirmed its role in advanced non-small cell lung cancer, which means that the method of targeting cancer cells is officially recognized! Congress has basically Let go, I think we can start the preparatory work." Ruiz's voice on the phone was full of joy.
A new cancer drug, a new cancer drug with a new idea, this is enough to make Ruiz's reputation reach a new peak, of course, with Li Zheng.
Although he had expected this result for a long time, Li Zheng was still excited when he heard the news.
"That's great." After all, he changed the medical history of the world. The greatest research project in biology was initiated 3 years earlier than his previous life under his impetus.
In October 1987, the U.S. Congress officially approved the launch of the Human Genome Project (HGP), and announced that his overall goal was: within fifteen years, with an investment of $3 billion, to understand the sequence of 3 billion nucleotides in humans, to At the end of 2002, the mystery of human genetic characteristics was completely solved.
After the United States, the European Community, Canada, the Soviet Union, Brazil, India, etc. have also proposed similar plans. The International Human Genome Organization (HUGO) was announced, and the Li Zheng Laboratory and the Ninth Laboratory joined in the name of independent institutions. HUGO.
For a time, Li Zheng's reputation at home and abroad reached its peak.

"Li, I have read your paper. The in vitro regeneration technology and the organ storage technology indefinitely are amazing," Watson said.
He and Li Zheng sat face to face on the balcony, and there were two cups on the small table in front of him, one was filled with coffee, and the other was filled with tea.
"The two techniques are not too esoteric academically."
"But they outline a blueprint for future medical care. I am committed to researching genes and want to realize gene therapy, but I have to admit that under the current medical level, your medical blueprint is more realistic." Watson spread his hands.
Gene therapy, by editing genes to perfect or even perfect the human body, is the wish of all geneticists and even all biologists.
In Li Zheng's last life, this gene therapy has basically completed the theoretical interpretation, but there is still a long way to go from theory to practice.
"But Li, I think you need to be mentally prepared." Watson said this, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Li Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"for example?"
"Nobel, you know, I nominated you this year, and many of my friends. Erlotinib and your future medical are both candidates, but I think if you win, it will be the former."
Hearing this news, Li Zheng found that he was not as excited as he had imagined. Xu is because he has already stood at this height, Nobel is just the icing on the cake for him.
He rubbed his chin, "Because of the Human Genome Project?" This is indeed a heavyweight reason enough to influence Nobel.
Watson shrugged, "Perhaps, it is also one of the reasons, but more importantly, the owners of your two technologies are Chinese, and if you have Erlotinib, at least Ruiz, which is very important to those For the Swiss, it's easier to accept."
"Oh, don't get me wrong, they also discriminate against us Americans. It's just that they have been dealing with them for a long time, and their psychological tolerance for American awards has become higher."
Li Zheng was dumbfounded. Although the reason here was absurd, it was still realistic. As Watson said, Europeans have a strong sense of psychological superiority. At the beginning of the Nobel Prize, those awards were almost all Europeans, until the United States gradually became stronger and became a superpower in the world.
Nobel really cannot ignore the global influence of the United States in scientific research without conscience, so that Americans have won the Nobel Prize one after another.
Yes, one is two, and with the first American winning the award, it's a lot easier later on.
Li Zheng rubbed his chin. If the first Chinese won the award, it would be much easier for the rest. The corners of his mouth evoked a beautiful arc. The first Chinese to win the Nobel Prize? This name seems to be good.
However, no matter whether the in vitro organ regeneration and infinite time storage technology can win the Nobel Prize or not, its scientific research and commercial value are not under any project. It can even be said that it is the most potential project Li Zheng has at hand.
"Biotechnology company?" Liang Zhe's right hand bent slightly and tapped the table.
"Yes, in vitro organ regeneration and indefinite storage technology, the latter is already a mature technology that can generate commercial value immediately. There are already many pharmaceutical companies and even technology companies requesting cooperation. You know, technology and drug patents are different, It's more complicated."
"Li Zheng's laboratory is not enough to meet the current needs, so I plan to set up a biological company to operate these two medical technologies."
This is the result of Li Zheng's long deliberation.
"It's theoretically feasible, you can come up with a plan, and I'll take a look."
Li Zheng…
OK, you are an expert in business and you have the final say.
In the end, Liang Zhe made the plan himself. Zheng Lingling has already graduated. After graduation, she did not enter the family business but chose to stay in Li Zheng's laboratory. After Zhenzhe Bio was established, she became the first to join.
After that, Li Zheng's life became more regular, in the laboratory, in class, and at home. The cooperation between Liang Zhe and Huang Youzhi is quite pleasant. The Liang family has set up a real estate branch in the mainland. Liang Zhe attaches great importance to this branch and spends half of the year in the mainland.
Time flies, and three years have passed in a flash.
In March 1990, erlotinib was approved by the FDA and launched in the United States. By the way, three years ago, Li Zheng did not win the Nobel Prize after all, perhaps because Li Zheng was too young to cause controversy, or because erlotinib has not yet been marketed, the Nobel Prize jury did not recognize the FDA's informal report.
Today, the listing of erlotinib in the United States has made Li Zheng and Ruiz once again the popular candidates for the Nobel Prize that year.
However, Li Zheng took it lightly after his expectations failed once.
"Li Zheng, our own human genome project in China has already been put on the agenda. According to our old fellows, how about you preside over it?" Tian Lao said.
In the past three years, Tian Lao has aged a lot, and his waist is no longer straight, but his spirit is still very vigorous. According to his old man's words, the more he lives, the younger he becomes.
"Me?" Li Zheng looked at Elder Tian in surprise, "I'm not an expert in genetics."
Although every February, he will go to Bermuda Island to discuss the human genome with experts from 15 of the world's most influential human genetic characteristics research institutions, but his research direction is application rather than elaboration, and the first of the Human Genome Project step, should be explained.
He is not suitable to be the leader of this plan, a fact that Li Zheng knows very well.
"But you are the only person in China who participated in the International Genome Project." Speaking of this, Elder Tian sighed. When countries started the Human Genome Project, Hua was delayed for two years due to funding.
But two years later, when Hua Guo wanted to enter again, everyone stopped taking him to play.
According to various countries, we have done a lot of research in the past two years, and many gene sequences have been released. We have invested a lot of manpower and material resources for this. There are no doors.
China has made a lot of efforts for this, but in terms of interests, countries will never suffer losses.
Therefore, under the mediation of Li Zheng, an important promoter and participant of the International Human Genome Project, the two sides took a step back. First, China must have sufficient scientific research results of the Human Genome Project, and second, if data sharing is required, China Need to compensate for the scientific research funds of the previous two years.
Compared with the previous life, the amount paid by various countries in this life is much smaller, and it is still within the acceptable range of China.
The latter of these two conditions is easy to solve, but the former must establish the Human Genome Project research group in Huaguo. After hearing the news, the biologists in Huaguo were so excited that they could not sleep all night.
After three years of waiting, they finally got it.
"Don't be humble. We all know that if it wasn't for you and your friends, they wouldn't have let go so quickly. Look at the country next to us. We have been negotiating for two or three years. I don't even bother to open the price, Li Zheng, your host is good to everyone."
