The Black Technology Era of Xueba

Xiao Ming only formulated some treatment methods for the gene store, and did not pay attention to the operation and profitability of the gene store, because Xiao Ming did not regard the gene store as a profit point of Pangu Technology Group from the beginning, but regarded it as an exploration of the future. A trial project for medical and lifestyle.

The gene store is currently affiliated to Coastline Pharmaceuticals, which already owns organ production genes and sales malls, as well as some vaccines and gene-suppressing drugs as a way of making profits. It will surpass Germany's Bayer Group and rank ninth among the world's most profitable companies.

According to the development trend of Shoreline, it is reasonable to surpass the No. 1 Johnson \u0026 Johnson to become the most profitable pharmaceutical company in the world in the next five to ten years.

Xiao Ming left the Jiangda Affiliated Hospital to go home for a good rest for two days, which was the end of the holiday, while Zheng Xuanyu stayed and continued to discuss work-related matters with Li Ting, the person in charge of the gene store.

After Xiao Ming left, the gene store staff including Li Ting were very dissatisfied with Xiao Ming's positioning of the gene store.

Li Ting, who has a very straight personality, said bluntly to Zheng Xuanyu: Yuyu, I have an opinion on what the boss said just now.

Zheng Xuanyu looked at Li Ting's expression and said, What did Xiao Ming say to make you have an opinion?

Not only Li Ting, but the rest of Li Ting's team are very dull. The expressions on their faces are telling others that we have opinions and we are not happy.

Before Li Ting could speak, a boy behind her quickly said, The boss's intention was very clear just now. The symbolic meaning of the gene store is far greater than the application meaning. We have an opinion on this.

The boy's name is Chen Sheng, and Zheng Xuanyu knows him. He is one of several outstanding students newly recruited by the Academy of Life Sciences in recent years. This group of students has strong hands-on ability and can start experiments very quickly. The landing, Li Ting and Chen Sheng contributed a lot.

The expression on Zheng Xuanyu's face was very playful. She looked at Chen Sheng with interest and asked, What do you mean?

Chen Sheng is a typical technical otaku. He just said that he has emotions in his heart. Now, looking at Zheng Xuanyu, who is younger than himself but his immediate boss, he blushed and said hesitantly: Because our project is not just a few expensive projects. Difficult medical experiments break through the boundaries of human medicine and life sciences, and can truly be implemented so that all citizens can enjoy our benefits.

Zheng Xuanyu was interested now, and she asked, How do you say this?

Chen Sheng looked at Li Ting, who nodded.

After getting permission from Li Ting, Chen Sheng took out a stack of materials from the drawer. These are the experimental materials and project implementation plan made by the Gene Store project team during this period.

Li Ting added: For example, high-cost and difficult cases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and fetal congenital heart disease only exist in a small proportion, and a large number of people will never encounter these things in their lifetime.

So what is the most common problem for ordinary people, and what is the most urgent problem to solve? Talking about the success of the group's experiment, Li Ting was a little excited, she said: It's our eyes, it's our mouth. Xia Guo The myopia population accounts for more than 40% of the national headquarters population, which is about 600 million people. The myopia rate of young people in Xia Guo is even higher. Myopia rate is the first in the world!

Zheng Xuanyu nodded and affirmed Li Ting's data.

Twenty years ago, the term glasses was still aimed at a special group of people who wear glasses.

Twenty years later, if you call Glasses on the street, the return rate can reach 40%.

Li Ting continued: The second is the mouth, which is what we usually call buck teeth.

Less than half of the people in Xia have orthodontic teeth and oral health, and at least half of them need orthodontic treatment for orthodontic teeth and oral health.

Zheng Xuanyu laughed when he heard this. What is called technological innovation comes from life and is implemented in life. The two examples cited by Li Ting are very correct.

Zheng Xuanyu quietly waited for Li Ting to extend the technical topic.

Li Ting said: The mouth and teeth are not healthy, this may not have much impact, but the rate of myopia directly affects the health rate of young people, and it also affects the overall health quality of the Xiaguo population.

High myopia is inherited, and our genetic testing has proved that the occurrence of Xia Guo's high myopia is autosomal recessive, that is, both parents are highly myopic, and 100% of the children are highly myopic; one parent is highly myopic. 50% of children with myopia are highly myopic, and with the increase in the basic population of myopia, the possibility of myopia in the future is also increasing.

Zheng Xuanyu only interjected at this time: So, in the gene store, you are equipped with genes for healthy vision, which can help patients with myopia?

Yes! Li Ting said: There is actually only one common way of treating myopia now, refractive correction. Whether it is wearing glasses or performing surgery, the principle is refractive correction.

Not to mention wearing glasses, surgical treatment of myopia does not actually solve the fundamental problem of myopia.

For example, the common femtosecond laser surgery, that is, cutting the corneal flap to a suitable diopter to restore your vision to normal, in fact, the essence of myopia has not been fundamentally changed. If myopia is in the development stage, then the current corneal flap The diopter will not be able to meet the future degree of myopia, and the patient will still have to have surgery or continue to wear glasses.”

Li Ting also did not say that Xia Guo has a large number of patients who undergo myopia correction surgery every year, and the cost is also a lot, ranging from seven to eight thousand to tens of thousands.

Finally, Li Ting spoke about the myopia treatment and oral treatment plans of the gene store.

She said: All the external manifestations of human beings come from gene expression. We already have a complete plan for the treatment of myopia, and I have carried out the corresponding treatment. It is the first clinical trial in the world.

At this time, Zheng Xuanyu realized that Li Ting was indeed a little different.

Li Ting herself is a short-sighted patient. She usually wears frame glasses for the convenience of experiments. Zheng Xuanyu doesn't know how many degrees, but looking at the thick lenses, she knows that the degree is not low.

Today, Li Ting didn't wear glasses, and Zheng Xuanyu thought she was wearing invisible, but she didn't expect that she had undergone gene therapy for myopia.

Li Ting said: Through the surgery, the totipotent cells in my eyes were activated. Through the surgery, I replaced the defective genes for myopia in the cells of the eyeballs with healthy genes, and the replacement of the genes in the eyes did not affect other parts of the body. genes.
