I reach the pinnacle of life by learning

Revisiting old places is always amazing.

Last time, Qiao Yu came to Cold Spring Harbor to study as a student.

At that time, although he already had the title of "Nobel Prize candidate", he was still just a humble screw after he came to Cold Spring Harbor.

Today, he is also an invited scholar.

The professors who want to come to Cold Spring Harbor should be very proud of him.

It is not the first time for everyone to participate in an academic conference, so there is nothing new about it.

Zhao Zhirui said: "Before 00, the number of places to go abroad to participate in academic conferences was very small. Each time it was allocated to the school, there were only one or two. People from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should also be brought along to prevent domestic scholars from making a fool of themselves abroad."

Among the people here, perhaps only Zhao Zhirui, who is in his 50s, has had such an experience.

Since the Chinese economy has improved, the self-confidence of Chinese people has increased, and the restrictions on going abroad have gradually decreased, and there is no need for officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to accompany them.

Nowadays, even if you are a graduate student, as long as you are with the right boss, it is not a problem to go abroad five or six times a year with public funds.

However, Qiao Yu didn't expect that now there are no officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accompanying him, but the motherland...has two bodyguards for him.

The comrades of the district committee, who had only met once, introduced these two people to him: "Director Qiao, I know that you are going abroad, and the higher-ups specially ordered them to arrange two drivers for you."

"Come on, come out and introduce yourself."

The two drivers gave uniform military salutes, and the leader took a step forward and said, "Hi, Director Qiao. My name is Liu Yi, and his name is Liu Er."

Qiao Yu almost didn't need to guess, he knew that there were two officers standing in front of him.

He shook hands with Liu Yi, and asked with a smile, "Hello, which unit is it from?"

A smile appeared on Liu Yi's dark face: "Is it so obvious? It's an arrow."

This is the code name of a special force in the Northern Military Region; before the joint military exercise of the special forces of the five countries, Xiangjian ranked first.

Qiao Yu had some experience on his face: "Can you actually say that?"

He just asked casually.

Liu Yi smiled honestly and said: "If there are no accidents, we will drive you for a long time in the future. There is no need to hide it."

The Ring Arrow Unit is a special anti-terrorist unit.

Liu Yi's marksmanship is very good, and he can hit a hundred shots within one kilometer.

Liu Erhui deciphers codes and defuses bombs with his bare hands.

In addition, although the two of them didn't look very strong, if they fought with bare hands, it would be no problem for one to hit ten.

The rank in the army is not low.

After Tan Zirui heard about it, he was very shocked: "There is such a good thing? Why don't I have a bodyguard?"

Among scholars, it is not easy to compare the amount of savings, so as not to be contaminated with the smell of copper; but when comparing treatment, it is easy to be true.

Otherwise, Mr. Chen wouldn't insist on eating the three fresh buns from Weiminglou.

Yu Hanxi sneered and said, "Are you from Huaguo? Take your green card and go back to England."

Tan Zirui: "..."

Damn, he really isn't.

It's just that Tan Zirui doesn't quite understand why Yu Hanxi, who also holds a green card, is in the mood to mock him.

If you want to go abroad, no matter what, you still have to tell your little boyfriend.

After all, he might not be in time for the Spring Festival, and before that, Qiao Yu actually made an appointment to go home with Song Tianyu.

With a little guilt, Qiao Yu notified Song Tianyu of the result.

It's a pity that the other party has been studying in this blog for eight consecutive years, otherwise Qiao Yu would have wanted him to take the postgraduate entrance examination for him.

Song Tianyu's mood became obviously depressed: "...Oh."

Qiao Yu was quite embarrassed, but there was no good solution for a while.

The voice of the system gradually turned cold: "It's not your fault, doing scientific research is the original sin."

Qiao Yu: "..."

The system seems to have become cruel.

Qiao Yu flipped through the itinerary and said to the person on the phone: "The meeting will last up to five days, and I should be back for three more days."

Song Tianyu asked in a low voice on the phone: "How many hours were allocated to me in those three days?"

Qiao Yu was so dazed that he almost gave it all to you.

But he held back.

It sounds nice to say this, but Qiao Yu won't say it if it can't be done.

Qiao Yu: "I may need to go shopping with my mother, visit my grandfather's grave, and see Professor Lin Feng... If you don't mind, you can come with me."

Song Tianyu replied: "Okay. I know."

After turning off the phone, Qiao Yu felt a little melancholy.

He was a little confused about Song Tianyu's emotions, and this feeling made him a little flustered.

Sometimes I really wonder how those strong women who are asked "how do you balance work and family" balance it.

Qiao Yu couldn't do it at all.

It's not uncommon for me to see you less than once in a month or two when I'm busy.

want to see him.

But he couldn't, he couldn't stop.

Qiao Yu stared blankly at the phone screen for a while: "...this time the experiment is over, let's rest for a while."

The International Symposium on Gene Therapy and CRISPR Technology was officially certified by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and led by Bios Biopharmaceutical Group. More than a thousand people were invited to participate.

Although the content of scholars only accounts for 20.00%, they are still a force that should not be underestimated.

After all, without these more than 200 scholars, this academic conference would not have much gold content.

The PI of Baisi Group's gene therapy experimental project is a gray-haired old man named Edmund.

Each invited professor will have one hour of academic lecture time as usual.The content is optional.

Edmund's trip has only one purpose, and that is to listen to the lectures given by the Huaguo Genetic Laboratory.

A month ago, Edmund, as the chief scientist of Bioth Pharmaceuticals, received a document.

Said that Huaguo seems to be taking the lead in gene therapy research, let him see if it will pose a threat to the research of Baisi Pharmaceutical.

Edmund carefully read the papers published by the genetic laboratory since its establishment, and his mood became more and more heavy.

To be honest, probably for the purpose of collecting data, the genetic laboratory is publishing papers in various fields, and there are many papers at a time.Sometimes there is no connection.It's confusing.

But Edmund still found a little grass snake gray thread in it.

Therefore, at this academic conference, Edmund even asked Baisi Group to invite them to the genetic laboratory regardless of the cost.

It is said that Bai Si paid an unconditional donation of 300 million US dollars for this purpose.

Now, at this international symposium, Huaguo's genetic laboratory has submitted a lecture entitled "Application of T Cells as Gene Therapy Carriers".

T cells are a kind of immune cells that come with the human body. Usually, in CAR-T therapy, they appear most frequently.

CAR-T therapy is a new type of precise targeted therapy for the treatment of tumors. It needs to use genetic engineering technology to isolate and transform T cells, and then transport them back to the patient after in vitro expansion.

These modified T cells will act like soldiers in the human body, attacking cancer cells, so as to achieve the purpose of treating malignant tumors.

But it was the first time Edmund had heard of the use of T cells as transport vehicles.

Nowadays, in the academic circles, there are also studies on gene carriers, most of which use the modified AAV virus as a sample.

However, AAV is a very old virus. In the process of human evolution, the human body has a probability of immunity to it of more than 30.00%, and it is blocked outside the human body's own protective barrier.

Therefore, although this technology has been developed, people still have few opportunities to use AAV virus as a delivery vehicle for gene therapy.

In fact, Edmund also thinks that using gene carrier technology to make a certain type of virus or cell a carrier for drug delivery and kill mutated cells in the human body is the way out for new targeted drugs...

But currently, there is no technology that can do this.

It stands to reason that although Huaguo's genetic laboratory is well-known internationally for its frenzied writing of papers, under Baisi's black-box operation, Qiao Yu's academic lectures collided with several Nobel Prize-winning scholars. In other words, there will not be many viewers.

However, when Edmund came to the meeting room, he was shocked.

The conference hall, which can accommodate 300 people, is densely packed and full of seats.

So much so that he had to stand behind and listen, and Qiao Yu on the stage became a pointless point.

For a moment Edmund thought he had come to the wrong place.

He asked the person in front, "Is that on stage Professor Qiao?"

It is really difficult for foreigners to pronounce names in Chinese proficiently.

Therefore, most people call Qiao Yu "Joe".

"It's him."

Edmund was very surprised: "Why are there so many people?"

Isn't the lecture of the Nobel Prize scholar next to you not good?

The scholar in front turned his head, glanced at him, and then turned up the collar of his coat: "Did you see it? My work card."

Edmund took a closer look and gasped: "Cold Spring Harbor? Are you a researcher at Cold Spring Harbor?"

Although the conference was held in the Outer Harbor of Cold Spring Harbor, and Baisi Group also invited scholars in Cold Spring Harbor, everyone did not expect them to come.

After all, Cold Spring Harbor is notoriously unkind... and especially hates pharmaceutical companies.

"Yes," the blond lady shrugged. "Actually, most of us from Cold Spring Harbor came to see our former colleagues. According to the rules, I should sit in the front row..."

Their custom is that the young people are in front and the old people are in the back.

But those old professors insisted on sitting in the front this time to see what level the students they taught at the beginning are now.

This time, the entire Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory was mobilized.

Edmund was in awe: "So that's the case. I didn't know that Qiao Yu had worked in Cold Spring Harbor..."

After all, Qiao Yu didn't put this news on his resume, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory was not interested in announcing the list of its students.

- They don't even have an official website.

The scientific researcher in front made a silence gesture: "Okay, keep your voice down. I only told you so much because you know the goods, and he started."
