Chapter 218: It's Not Showy

"Whoa—"

In the not warm applause, Zheng Jianguo ended his first speech at the Thousand People Conference, and felt that the group of people in the audience were too eyeless to return to their seats, and when he listened to the Rhofer on the stage began to evaluate his suggestion, Caphora next to him also tilted his head and looked over: "Zheng, do you know what you said?"

"Don't you think that a complete sequencing of the human genome is a thorough investigation of the life sciences?"

Zheng Jianguo tilted his head and listened to what Ruofoer on the stage said when he finished answering, and Caphora had already sat up straight and said: "Then do you know how much it costs to sequence the base pairs in a DNA genome now? or the billions of nucleotide sequences that make up human staining haploids or tens of billions of base pairs? This will cost at least billions of dollars——"

"It depends on how much DNA a human has—"

Walton tilted his head and looked at Zheng Jianguo, he is just a professional doctor in gastroenterology, that is, a simple MD, so for the communication between Caphora and Zheng Jianguo, who are both MD and PhD, he can only regard himself as half of the melon eaters, but he has his own opinion on the speech of this product: "But your debut is a good job, and now doctors in the United States are afraid to know you-"

"Will they hate me for being showy?"

Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, Caphora didn't wait for Walton to speak, and preemptively picked up the words: "This is not a showmanship, this suggestion you put forward is also very constructive and macroscopic, if this plan is really completed, this needs the full support of the state! But once it is completed, it will be a earth-shaking impetus for medicine——"

"It's mediocre not to attract people's jealousy, if Zheng You care about the eyes of others, then you should go crazy now~"

Fiona behind Walton opened her mouth to take it after Caflan finished speaking, and Zheng Jianguo also looked at her sideways and smiled: "I used to be busy studying, where would I have time to care about this, but now I have almost learned, I heard that some doctors don't like to be in the limelight - colleagues." ”

"Zheng, that kind of person you don't need to pay attention to, really capable doctors won't let themselves adapt to the environment, they all have the ability to change the environment-"

Walton subconsciously glanced at Zheng Jianguo and then at Fiona behind him, and then said to Zheng Jianguo with a knowing smile on his face: "Just like you discovered Helicobacter, I heard that if it weren't for your persistence that made your tutor change his mind, you would probably have passed by Helicobi like other students, and changing other people's minds doesn't require you to make any changes, just your persistence——"

When Zheng Jianguo came to the United States to study, he discovered that the story of Helicobacter has also become a new inspirational story, but after such a long time, there have been more than single digits of doctors and researchers who say that they have also discovered this thing, but everyone thinks that it belongs to the outside and not breeds in the stomach-

Zheng Jianguo believes this statement, after all, in the American medical system, the existence of general practitioners is only responsible for primary health care, and the real experts are still professional doctors in various departments.

For doctors who put on gastrointestinal diseases, how can they not find Helicobri after dealing with them for half a lifetime, but because the dark under the lamp has long been preconceived and qualitative, it is extremely normal to let go of Helicobacter.

Zheng Jianguo followed Kaphora and Walton to the branch venue, the optimistic outlook for cancer was the theme of the meeting, but the different cancer prospects in each system needed to be discussed separately, so the branch venues were all over the city of Detona Beach, which is known as a scenic mecca.

It's just that due to time reasons, Zheng Jianguo didn't appreciate the blonde in a bikini wandering on the beach, and the temperature in Detona Beach at the end of March was better than in Boston at this time, but both are located on the coast, and the better way to say it is that it is not as windy and snowy as the latter.

After passing through the Detona Beach Town Hall to the Berkedun Building, which was no longer known, Zheng Jianguo followed a few people into the venue of one hundred and ten people along the bustling crowd, and when he saw a few familiar cheeks that he couldn't remember his name, there was already a familiar one next to him who greeted him with a bright smile: "Hi, Zheng, congratulations on passing the graduation exam." ”

"Thanks, I just saved Fiona the step of preparing for credits, and if she can participate now, I feel like she can pass it-"

The detective threw Fiona next to her to attract attention, Zheng Jianguo didn't expect her to remember this greeting: "Dr. Arthur, you heard Zheng's praise, I can also pass, of course, the premise is that there are no credits~"

"Then you have to make a new discovery~"

Dr. Arthur said to Fiona with a smile, then looked at Zheng Jianguo and smiled: "On the way we came before, I heard about your speech over there, this is a very meaningful topic, but according to the hit-and-run theory, after the cell is infected, the virus will infect the next one-"

"Why is it that the virus infects a cell and then infects the next cell, rather than the cell being infected and then infecting the next cell?"

Zheng Jianguo knew that the hit-and-run statement was an extension of the researchers' theory of virus carcinogenesis at this time, that is to say, at this time, most researchers, including doctors, believed that the tumor was caused by infection after the virus invaded normal cells-

Yes, there is still a serious disagreement about the perception of tumors and cancer, although Janet Raleigh has genetically proved that the source of blood cancer is its own mutation, but most doctors and researchers believe that blood and organs are different.

Therefore, blood cancer is caused by infection in one's own blood, so is it also cancerous of organs?

Zheng Jianguo scoffed at the theory that viruses cause cancer, and after a few decades, anyone who has known about cancer knows that there is an upper limit to the number of normal cell divisions, and when the cell division breaks through the limit of the number of times, it will become cancer cells, so the basic concept of cancer will be formed - tumor.

Of course, this is Zheng Jianguo's innermost thoughts, and at this moment he plans to throw out the nuclear-weapon-level discovery that he finally remembered: "If we have a database composed of the entire human genome, then there will be a better answer to this question." ”

"Well, I feel that if you can win the Nobel Prize and then propose this initiative, you will almost be able to attract the attention of those officials. ”

Arthur was obviously a little uncomfortable with Zheng Jianguo's rather gunpowder statement, only glanced at Walton and Caphora next to him and said with a smile, but he didn't expect Zheng Jianguo to nod quite approvingly: "Naturally, these are not what team can be responsible for, let alone a certain group, I think it needs support at the national level, because I personally feel that its importance is comparable to that of the moon landing program."

Further, it needs to be shared by all human beings, because DNA sequences are the basic building blocks of our human existence, and of course on my personal side, let's start with the promotion of our Helicobacter testing standards——"

Zheng Jianguo came to the conference for two purposes, the first is to get the title of the initiator of the Human Genome Project, in fact, just like the reaction of Carphora or Arthur after he put forward this idea, this is not a project that he can meddle in now, and even according to the latter, even the qualification to make this suggestion will not be available until he wins the Nobel Prize.

However, when Zheng Jianguo will win the Nobel Prize, although this question can only be answered by God, he is not thinking about how to promote the world's understanding of Helicobacter, and this is the second reason why he came here, that is, like countless people who will play games and play copies in a few decades, if you don't have a good relationship with the guild, you won't be able to rub off on the benefits of the guild, not to mention that it is also related to the time when he won the award.

It's just that Zheng Jianguo doesn't care if anyone accuses him of qualifications, which is why he gave a speech at the opening of a similar meeting, and the more than 1,000 people present are all over the hospitals or research institutions in the United States, although they can't represent all the medical staff, but even if no one agrees with his views, when someone brings up this topic again in the future, it will inevitably be inseparable from his speech at this meeting.

The theme of the conference is prospects, and the things discussed here in the sub-venues are also focused on tumors and cancers in the digestive system.

Some time ago, in order to meet the exam backlog of several papers that have not been completed, Zheng Jianguo stuffed them into his purse when he came, and at this time, he took them out for correction and correction after he was free, and made a mark on some places, just when he drew a quotation mark to mark a sentence, Fiona's voice came from the side: "Zheng, I heard that there is a good seafood restaurant here, do you want to try it together?"

Subconsciously turning his head to look, Zheng Jianguo's eyes couldn't help but move up and down a few points from his fair cheeks, and then returned to Fiona's blue eyes, revealing a smile: "Well, I prefer high-calorie foods like burgers and coke, why don't we try burgers?"

"-That's right!"

The familiar eyes flashed away, although Fiona was shocked by the suggestion to eat a hamburger, but she also knew that this proposal was not easy to refuse, after all, what she wanted was a chance for the two of them to be alone, as for whether to eat seafood or eat burgers, it didn't mean much to her: "What are you busy with?"

"Well, I'm reading papers. ”

Zheng Jianguo said and glanced at Fiona, who was faintly scented, and then found that this was a smell he had never smelled before, and when he was about to ask again, his eyes moved down a few points again, and then he said, "You have also started to prepare your thesis now, right?"

The medical student education system in the United States has long been mature, but unlike the domestic undergraduate thesis written decades later, there is no such requirement in American medical schools.

Of course, many students are tired of the basic study of medical school, and they do not have the time to teach medical students how to write papers, so not to mention the group of residents who have just graduated from medical school, even the professional doctors who can practice medicine and open clinics independently, rarely publish papers.

On the other hand, it means that doctors in the United States rarely participate in research, and the training programs they receive from medical school to residency to specialist medicine do not include the PhD content of MD, which also leads to the phenomenon of hundreds of students enrolled in the MD and PhD joint program every year.

A small number of medical students are admitted to the teaching hospital after graduation, and only after graduation can they be exposed to the opportunity of the PhD program, and with the completion of the residency program and promotion to the attending physician training stage, they will become part-time faculty members of the medical school, so they have to see patients and take the third- and fourth-year medical students and residents, and they also have to give lectures in the school to participate in clinical research in the department and write papers.

Because medical schools and hospitals can get money for seeing patients and teaching students, these doctors do not apply for separate research projects to obtain financial support, of course, the consequence of this is to practice medicine and take students, and scientific research and teaching are side jobs.

As for those who really have ideas and abilities, it is not for nothing, after all, if you can have two or one paper that can be taken when you graduate from medical school and apply for residency, then you will have a greater advantage than others - as for the level of journal in which the paper is published, it represents the big and small advantages.

So Zheng Jianguo asked this question, but also because of Fiona's status as a top student, and according to the enrollment restrictions of medical schools in the United States, the vast majority of people at this age have not yet obtained a college diploma, this is about the same age as himself but is already a graduate-level medical student who participated in the internship: "You graduated from college at the age of 16?"

"Yes, when you were admitted to your graduate school, I was also admitted to the Mayo School of Medicine—"

Fiona's eyes seemed to glow, and her lipstick-smeared lips shone under the headlights of the venue, making her pink lips look mouth-watering, and she licked the corners of her mouth intentionally or unintentionally and said, "It's just that now you've graduated—"

Looking up and down at the pretty face close to him, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but swallow his saliva and found that the smile on this pretty face instantly turned into a brilliant glow, and he felt an evil fire churning from his lower abdomen to his heart, and after beating twice, the ghost made a fool open his mouth and said: "Well, I think it's better for us to eat seafood, the seafood restaurant you said is not far away, right?"

"Not far away~"

As if he had noticed the strangeness rising in Zheng Jianguo's eyes, Fiona pulled away with a graceful smile on her face and said, "Just a block north of the city hall, the owner is a chef who retired from Sheraton, and after returning home, he opened such a seafood restaurant——"
