Back To The Age Of The '80s

An experiment record from the Chinese?

They don't remember that Huaguo has any research on human genes. Dubok said in the declaration that the whole world should unite, and mankind should use the courage to conquer the universe to carry out this plan, and this plan should become an international project. .

Even so, the country of Hua was not included in the international concepts of these people.

They didn't mean it. Scientists don't care about politics and only care about strength, and they don't think Huaguo scholars have the ability to help them in this plan.

Otherwise, even if the governments of various countries are not happy, these world-class treasures will never allow politics to hinder their scientific career.

There were whispers in the lecture hall, and Berg raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

He leaned forward slightly so that his voice could be better received by the microphone, "Li, my friend, are you interested in explaining to us the little problems you encountered in your experiment?"

Li Zheng sat at the back of the lecture hall. Although foreigners do not have the tradition of ranking seniority, the principle of respecting strength is applicable anywhere in the world.

The ranking of the lecture hall is almost based on the international status of the scholars. Occasionally, certain people are ranked together because they have a good relationship with certain people, or they have a cooperative relationship, and Li Zheng, as a rising junior in recent years , The seat will naturally not be forward.Only because of the United Nations' most influential creature of the year and the Duoman incident, it barely ranked last.

The auditorium in Cold Spring Harbor is very modern, for example, each seat is equipped with a small microphone.If Li Zheng was really a young man, he might not be able to resist the temptation to show opportunities in front of these bigwigs at the top of the biological pyramid, but he has a soul in his 30s in his body, and he knows the huge gap between himself and Berg. Speaking from Berg's mouth, it is more convincing.

"Mr. Berg, you are more aware of the status quo of genetic research in various countries than I am. No one is more suitable for this job than you." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Fluent in English with the unique warmth of oriental speech, people can't help but feel good.

"Li...zheng, isn't he from Xiangjiang?"

"I heard that he is of Chinese nationality, but he has been living in Xiangjiang and returned to Hua 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 out loud, but he no longer refused, and with a solemn expression, he began to explain Li Zheng's unfinished experiment.

The world's best biologists gather together to listen to an experiment that is less than 40.00% complete. For these scientists, this is a very unique experience.

However, there was no relief on their faces, because as the slides went through, they quickly realized the significance hidden behind this experiment.

The experiment visualizes the role of genes in fighting disease in humans.

It's like a strategic game. They stood at a three-way intersection in the game. After arguing and calculating 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 genetic engineering.

"Oh, targeting and suppressing mutated genes, thereby destroying cancer cells! This is an absolutely bold idea, but I have to admit that it is theoretically feasible. Taking the non-small cell lung cancer as the subject of this experiment For example, as long as the mutated gene is found and the target is identified, the experiment can be completed!"

"This is a new direction in the fight against tumors! Oh, I'm so excited!" The speaker was an authoritative anti-tumor biologist in the United States. He has stated in public more than once that he should attach importance to understanding the important role of the human genome in fighting cancer , and have been proposed to kill cancer cells by inhibiting mutant genes.

But he was still only at the stage of imagination and theoretical demonstration, and the experimental record in front of him truly 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 I 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 is only the part of non-small cell lung cancer , it will be much easier, one year, maybe half a year, the history of human anti-cancer will be rewritten."

With the deepening of human understanding of cancer, everyone also understands that the same cancer can 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 a non-discriminatory treatment modality applicable to all cancer types.

But at the same time, the side effects of chemotherapy are not acceptable to everyone.Internationally, there is no objection to the need for chemotherapy for cancer treatment, but the debate over the frequency of chemotherapy has never stopped. In the end, biologists and medical scientists have concluded through countless experiments that the combination of chemotherapy and drugs is the treatment that causes the least harm to the human body .

This creates a problem, not all types of cancer are curable, such as squamous cell carcinoma, in the 80s there was no drug that was effective for it.

Patients suffering from this type of lung cancer can only be treated with chemotherapy, and then they are resigned to their fate.

The emergence of targeted drugs will change this situation. As long as the target is found, it will become a matter of time to produce the corresponding drug.

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 non-small cell lung cancer targeted drug!

Seeing Professor Ruiz walking in front of him, Li Zheng immediately stood up. Of course he knew the authority on cancer. Both of these anticancer drugs have become necessary drugs for fighting lung cancer in the International Anticancer Handbook.

This project was created by Li Zheng in order to persuade Watson to let him participate in the Human Genome Project, but seeing Professor Ruiz's hopeful eyes, he suddenly felt a little ashamed.

The Human Genome Project is indeed great, and it is the dream of almost every biologist to participate in it.Just like an astronaut, if you let him go back to the era when the Apollo program was launched, wouldn't he want to participate in it?

only……

Li Zheng took a deep breath, and tried to calm down the excitement he felt when he participated in the Human Genome Project. Yes, he was dazzled by this great project and forgot what he should do most as a biopharmaceutical person.

In his previous life, he almost forgot why he gave up life sciences and returned to China to devote himself to the pharmaceutical industry.

"Of course, if you, Professor Ruiz, can participate, I believe this drug will be available to everyone soon." Li Zheng said calmly.

A big smile appeared on Ruiz's face, "It's great, Lee, I have a lab in New York, or we can go there now, I already have a lot of ideas in my mind, and I can't wait to put them together." He made it real."

"I think my dream will come true soon. An unprecedented anti-cancer drug. In fact, I have some research on lung cancer mutation genes. Your idea and my experimental data are really the most wonderful combination in the world. It's gone." Ruiz grabbed Li Zheng's hand, as if he was about to pull him out.

Berg and Gilbert on the stage looked at each other in blank dismay, this... just leave?

The meeting had just begun, and they hadn't had time to discuss the plans for the official launch of the genome research in the future, and the two left just like that.

"Professor Li and Ruiz." Berg coughed dryly and couldn't help but said, "Our meeting is not over yet."

Everyone in the laboratory couldn't help turning their heads to look at the two people who had stood up.

Ruiz turned around when he heard the words, and spread his hands, "Berg, I believe you will arrange a plan, remember that I was forgotten to arrange the part between me and Li, I think I have more important things now, oh no, yes Do more urgent things, you don’t want the first targeted drug, yes, you need a targeted drug, don’t you want it to come out as soon as possible.”

The laboratory suddenly became noisy. Geneticists felt that Ruiz and Li lost the big because of small things. In their view, the Genome Project is a scientific journey to explore the mysteries of human beings and understand the human body itself. Ruiz and Li To be entangled in a mutated gene is really picking up the watermelon and losing the sesame.

But the pragmatic biologists don’t think so. What is the reason why the governments of various countries support their research so much? Knowing the mysteries of the human body, yes, there are some factors in this aspect. Optimize genes.

As beings at the top of the world's biology, how can they not know the human body optimization plan that is going on in the mysterious laboratories of the government, super soldiers, this is not just a fantasy in American movies, after human beings understand 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 comes from taxpayers. Ordinary people don’t care about your super soldier project, 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 were the first targeted drugs to be released, the governments of various countries would scramble to invest in this plan.
