From small clinic to medical empire

Chapter 222
Under Li Jingwang's friendly invitation, Kong Xiang readily agreed to the business trip.

In fact, Kong Xiang himself was also surprised that he was beaten by the editor of a five-rate magazine.

Kong Xiang is no longer a fledgling young man, and has a certain international status in the field of ophthalmology.

As long as the editor-in-chief of Anderson has moved his little finger to check the total impact factor of the papers published by Kong Xiang in the past, he will not say such arbitrary words.

Presumably he still felt that a Chinese magazine like "Hao Ran Nei Kan", which he had never heard of, would definitely not have articles published by famous authors, nor would there be high-quality articles.

"The Study and Judgment Method of Optic Nerve Types" is a relatively superficial article summed up by Kong Xiang after observing Zhang Zifan's operation at close range and based on what he got and thought.

It was published in November last year, before Kong Xiang traveled to northern Sichuan with the Haoran tour group.

In fact, that article can only be regarded as an appetizer. During this period of time, Kong Xiang's real research focus has been the key paper "Feasibility Analysis of Fundus Optic Nerve Rearrangement Surgery" completed together with Zhang Zifan.

The first author of this paper is Zhang Zifan, and Kong Xiang is only the second author.

However, the paper contains molecular-level analytical content provided by Zhang Zifan, and its academic value is not the same as that of the previous paper.

It is the highlight of the third issue, just like Yuan Qiang's "Research on New Dialysis Scheme for Severe Patients with Crush Syndrome" by Yuan Qiang as the second author.

"Tingting, have the peer reviews for the third issue of "Hao Ran Internal Magazine" been sent out?" Zhang Zifan asked.

Yang Tingting nodded and said: "Well, there are 2 people from our hospital, 2 people from Huaxi University, 1 person from Peking University, 1 person from S University, 1 person from Z University, 2 people from UCLA, 1 person from Cornell University, and a total of ten people in the review library. We will invite 7 of them to conduct anonymous review of the article."

"Okay, give them some prompting and ask them to increase their efforts." Zhang Zifan said.

As a new magazine, the review library of "Hao Ran Internal Magazine" can be said to be quite luxurious.

The only fly in the ointment is that Zhang Zifan feels that there are still too few reviewers in this court.

There was no other way. In the early days of publishing, in order to increase the credibility of the magazine, we still had to invite outside monks to chant sutras.

If Haoran Academic Journal can reach the influence of The Lancet or even higher-level journals in the future, it will naturally increase the weight of internal review.

Even, at that time, all papers can be required to be written in Chinese, and if you don't understand Chinese, you can't be a judge...

Thinking of the scene where foreign researchers must first learn language tools if they want to engage in scientific research, Zhang Zifan couldn't help laughing in his heart.

If I can really set this precedent, it will be confessed by the vast number of students in the land of China!

Of course, Zhang Zifan didn't even talk about this kind of thing with Yang Tingting.

Otherwise, it will definitely be regarded as a neuropathy.

If you want to engage in scientific research, you must learn English.

English is the most scientific language, and English is the communication tool for scholars all over the world.

This kind of thing is already an iron law that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even scholars in East Asia will not doubt it.

Even, the quality of English directly determines a person's level.

Even Indian Asan is proud that Chinese people can speak curry-flavored English.

Li Jiapo even has a tendency to abolish Chinese and use English entirely.

The road is still very long!

Zhang Zifan can't change these things for the time being, he can only do something with Huaxi, Peking University, and Laomei's tiger skin.

……

The British Academy of Medical Sciences is the highest academic honor institution in the British medical profession and one of the five major academic academies in the UK (Royal Society, Royal Academy of Engineering, British Academy, Academy of Medical Sciences, and Royal Society of Edinburgh).

Although the history of this organization is not long, its authority is unquestionable throughout Europe.

On March 3 this year, the British Academy of Medical Sciences celebrated its 20th anniversary and held a large-scale academic conference at the headquarters of the Wellcome Trust in London.

As the world's leading expert in head and neck surgery, expert in microsurgery, pioneer in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis with biotechnology, and No.1 in the combined application of peritoneal dialysis and CGF membrane in the world, Master Zhang Zifan is of course...

Of course I wasn't invited...

There is no way, Zhang Zifan's reputation is on the operating table, and the academic papers are relatively lagging behind, so the popularity is still relatively low.

And in terms of arrogance, the British guy is still above the old beauty, and even an expert of Professor Yao Shihua's level is hard to be invited.

But it doesn't matter.

Zhang Zifan knew that there was a person, and the British guy must have invited him.

Zhang Zifan sent an email to his old friend across the ocean, Dr. Anthony Fauci, explaining his purpose.

Asking Fauci to take him to the annual meeting of the British to eat and drink, of course, he can't just rely on friendship.

Zhang Zifan has his own chips.

In other words, it could not be regarded as a bargaining chip, but an invitation that Zhang Zifan had planned to send out.

That is to invite Mr. Fauci to partly participate in his ongoing research on the traceability of mitochondria and chloroplasts, as well as the application of modification.

This research started in mid-September last year, and it has been almost half a year now.

Although stagnated due to various reasons during the period, the research progress is still good.

At present, Zhang Zifan has successfully implanted symbiotic chloroplasts into the amoeba and allowed it to synthesize specific sugars.

But how to combine these scientific research results with cutting-edge application fields such as immune regulation and biological response, Zhang Zifan needs a collaborator.

The little old man Fauci seems to be a good candidate.

The only problem is that China and the United States are no longer in the honeymoon period, and there is an obvious trend of technological decoupling between the two countries.

Not so in the biomedical field.

Last year, China and the United States were the largest collaborators in their respective fields of biomedicine, and they jointly made great contributions to human health.

Therefore, this cooperation still conforms to the historical trend.

It's just that you still have to be careful when dealing with details.

But as long as the core technology can be firmly grasped, the problem will not be too big.

It is a good deal for Zhang Zifan, whose time is precious, to let a great infectious disease and immunology expert like Fauci perfect the application of this technology.

It's like mastering the core chip technology will naturally control the downstream industrial chain.

Although Fauci is very powerful, it is much more difficult to deduce various methods of analyzing and reconstructing cell organelles without a plug-in such as the "Eye of Deconstruction/Reconstruction" than to conquer the chip technology.

Zhang Zifan is not worried at all about the possibility of technology leakage.

……

Less than three hours after the email was sent, Zhang Zifan's cell phone rang.

Fauci's hoarse and disbelieving voice came over the phone: "Zhang, are you serious? Have you really completed that kind of research?"

"Dr. Fauci, my dear old man!"

Zhang Zifan said in a sincere tone, "As you know, our Haoran Medical Group has the ambition to become China's HCA, and we invest a lot of technical funds every year for this, and now, it has come to the season of technological blowout and harvest... "

"Indeed, Dr. Zhang, my students showed me the new papers in your journal, and the revolutionary research presented in them is impressive."

"So, Dr. Fauci, I sincerely invite you to cooperate in research."

"Thank you, Dr. Zhang, I hope to meet you in London. If you can demonstrate the progress of the existing experiment, I will be very honored to participate in it. This must be the greatest biomedical technology innovation of this century."
