Chapter 113: People with Ideals
(At the end of the chapter, there is an idea about the positioning of this book)
……
Zhou Wen originally planned to take advantage of Saturday and Sunday to spend some money and find a coach to practice driving alone.
However, the installation of the yeast system is complete and needs to be commissioned.
Qin Haitao They are not Zhou Wen, they have no genetic foundation at all, and their biological knowledge reserve is several steps behind Zhou Wen, not to mention understanding the operating rules of the yeast system, and they can't even read the instructions completely.
As I said before, there are a lot of coined words in biology.
In particular, the yeast identification system is an unpopular technology, which makes people see it in the clouds.
There was no way, Zhou Wen had to put down his car training plan and sit in the laboratory.
He had originally planned to train Qin Haitao as one of the leaders of the prion project.
It's a pity that Qin Haitao's talent is really not good, and he taught him for two days, and he couldn't even understand the instructions of the yeast system.
Zhou Wen sighed, there is really no way to do this.
and Huang Xingzhong and Liu Bin are the same.
After two days, both of them looked confused.
Looking at this, if he didn't sit in the laboratory, he wouldn't even be able to operate normally.
But the problem is, he still has a lot of things to do, and he can't stay in the lab all the time.
If he really wanted to teach them for a year or two, as Stewart said, then there would be no need for this prion research team to exist.
With this time, he might as well study the production of medicines.
In the final analysis, the domestic biological foundation is too weak.
As a result, it is not easy for him to find a cutting-edge talent.
Sitting in the office, Zhou Wen took out his mobile phone and sent a message in the Weixin group to ask: "Guys, are there any young talents in prions, help introduce one." ”
Ten seconds later, the old house of the Xia family replied: "You ask Professor Nan, their school has been engaged in prion research before, and they may have resources in this area." ”
As soon as the Xia family's old house finished speaking, Nangong Qingdeng replied, "How many people does Xiao Zhou need?"
Zhou Wen: "1~2 people." ”
Nangong Qingdeng: "Okay! I'll help you ask, and if you go, let them contact you directly." What's your phone number?"
Zhou Wen sent the number in the group.
Nangong Qingdeng: "OK." ”
Zhou Wen: "Thank you, Professor Nan. ”
……
Dong Wenying made an innovation report for the first time.
It took a week just to sort out the data for the new biotin and avidin, and then it took a few days to print out the experimental data.
On the evening of the 2nd, it was sent to Zhou Wenguo.
After confirming that there was no problem, on the morning of September 3, after Cao Hui went to work, Dong Wenying went to look for her.
"Knock knock—"
"Come in. Hearing the knock on the door, Cao Hui said without raising her head.
Dong Wenying pushed open the door and walked in: "Hello Director Cao, I have something to report to you." ”
Cao Hui looked at Dong Wenying and knew that she was now Zhou Wen's subordinate, so she said kindly, "What's wrong?"
Dong Wenying put the report on the desk a little shyly, "In the process of studying prions, we improved biotin and avidin, and after coupling with ELISA, the sensitivity was increased by 120% compared with the original. ”
"Oh, really?" Cao Hui showed a shocked look on her face, and hurriedly picked up the report on the table and read it.
As a technical background, Cao Hui certainly knows what it means to increase sensitivity by 120%?
If this were true, the detection time for more than a dozen common cancers would be cut by more than half.
This is undoubtedly a very practical and innovative technology for inspectors.
Cao Hui quickly flipped through the report.
There are a large number of detailed test data in the report, as well as analysis and comparison charts, as well as identification results reports and so on.
Cao Hui raised her head, her face full of surprise, "This is ...... Really?"
Dong Wenying said with a smile: "Really, we have repeatedly verified, and the data will not be wrong." ”
"That'...... You ......" Cao Hui's brain was a little insufficient for a while, and she didn't know what to say.
Dong Wenying knew what Cao Hui wanted to ask, so she said: "This is improved by the Zhou group, and I don't know too much about the specific improvement ideas." ”
Cao Hui paused for a moment and asked, "Is this so...... So what do you mean now?"
Dong Wenying said: "We want to apply for group innovation, is it okay? This is also the meaning of the Zhou group. ”
Cao Hui smiled and nodded, "Declare team innovation, right?" Okay, then I'll call him and ask him, as long as the improved technology is real, team innovation should be fine." ”
Dong Wenying said: "Then director, shall I go back to work first?"
"Okay~"
After Dong Wenying left, Cao Huizai carefully read the innovation report, and then took out his mobile phone to call Zhou Wen.
……
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the two talents introduced by Nangong Qingdeng arrived at the laboratory of the Science and Technology Park.
One of the two is named Zhang Pengfei, PhD of Tsinghua Biology.
One is named Li Na, PhD in Biology from Peking University.
The two are a couple.
In his office, Zhou Wen looked at their published papers, mainly on sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (mad cow disease).
There is a certain depth and a certain degree of innovation.
However, due to the lack of key experimental data, most of the papers were published in domestic journals, and only two were included in Cell Research.
Zhou Wenxiao asked: "People say that biology PhDs are not bad for money, you should be too, right?"
Zhang Pengfei laughed at himself and said, "Do you think the two of us don't look like we are not bad for money?"
Zhou Wen looked at them, both of them were dressed plainly, and there was a sadness between their eyebrows.
It doesn't look like it's going to be as good as it could be.
Zhou Wen probably knew the situation of the two of them in his heart.
The biological industry is indeed relatively bleak in China, especially if it is a domestic doctoral graduate, most of the competition cannot be compared to returnees.
There are many laboratories that only need to be graduated from overseas returnees, and the salary after coming back to do a doctorate is about 20k a month, but the article requirements are very high.
Returnee Doctor......
What's more, Zhang Pengfei and the others are still the most unpopular prions in biology.
The mix is unsatisfactory, and it is reasonable.
Zhou Wen asked, "In that case, haven't you considered changing careers?"
Zhang Pengfei said: "Everyone loves money, but not everyone has ideals. ”
Zhou Wen: "So this is your ideal?"
"That's right!" Zhang Pengfei nodded.
Zhou Wen understood, picked up the yeast identification system manual on the table, handed it over, and said, "You guys take a look." ”
After Zhang Pengfei took it, he looked at it with Li Na.
Soon Zhang Pengfei was surprised: "Yeast identification system, have you extracted a new prion protein?"
A smile appeared on Zhou Wen's face.
Just by seeing that this was a yeast identification system, they couldn't help but let him take a look at it.
Unlike Qin Haitao, they didn't even understand the operating rules of the system after talking for two days.
"You keep watching, tell me what you think. ”
Zhang Pengfei said: "I knew about this system, and I wanted to do it three years ago, and I also studied it at that time, but because it was too complicated, it required continuous investment, and I couldn't see the output, so finally Handa gave up." ”
Zhang Pengfei paused and said: "To be honest, I admire your courage, but I am not optimistic about your experiment, in a few years, this will not be done at all." ”
Zhou Wen smiled: "You just know." Let's do it first~"
Then we talked about the salary.
In addition to the basic salary of 5,000 yuan per month, the prion experiment team subsidizes each of them another 5,000 yuan per month.
In the future, according to the output of scientific research results and the development of commercialization, they will be appropriately increased.
Of course, it is also possible that the prion research team will be dismantled a few months later and they will lose their jobs.
Everything is unknown.
Later, Zhou Wen devoted himself to research.
……
The arrival of Zhang Pengfei and Li Na made Zhou Wen feel like a tiger.
is worthy of being a top student from the top university in China, and his IQ is not boastful, everything Zhou Wen talks about, they can understand it all.
Zhou Wen was like a scalpel, charging in front and sweeping invincible!
Zhang Pengfei and Li Na, with a solid theoretical foundation, continue to expand the results!
It took less than a week to overcome the difficulties faced by the yeast identification system.
Zhang Pengfei and Li Na were so shocked that they didn't have time to sigh.
There are simply no words to describe their admiration for Zhou Wen.
In their minds, he has become a god-like being!
Ten days.
It's only ten days.
There are four major problems faced in MLP (laughing prion) identification:
1. It can exist in two stable states: non-prion and prion;
2. One of the states can be spontaneously or induced to transform into another;
3. Under certain circumstances, the prion state can be "cured";
4. Both states can be inherited.
All conquered!
At 10 a.m. on September 14, after the yeast identification system was successfully detected for MLP, Zhang Pengfei and Li Na were stunned for ten seconds.
They suspect that they are blind.
After confirming that it was true, the two of them were incoherent with excitement.
"I ...... We succeeded......"
Looking at the tearful appearance of the two, Qin Haitao, Huang Xingzhong, Liu Shan and other assistants were very calm.
it.
They had already seen Zhou Wen's power.
In their minds, it was only a matter of time before MLP was identified with the yeast system.
Fail?
Something that doesn't exist.
At the same time, the improvement and innovation of biotin and avidin have also been highly valued by the First People's Hospital of Jiangzhou.
This is a real scientific research achievement, which is worthy of special mention by Jiangzhou Hospital.
As an affiliated unit of Jiangzhou University, Jiangzhou Hospital's results are also equivalent to Jiangzhou University's achievements.
The two are two in one.
Therefore, Jiangzhou Hospital and Jiangzhou University, after verifying the results, have publicized this.
Saturday, September 15th, 9 a.m.
Jiangzhou University specially held the "Special Report Lecture on Scientific Research and Innovation" and invited Zhou Wen to give a special speech at the school.
Well-known biomedical experts and professors in the province, as well as reporters from surrounding scientific research units and universities, pharmaceutical research and development companies, Sudong Satellite TV, Jiangzhou TV and Jiangzhou Daily, as well as teachers and students from the Department of Medicine and the Academy of Biological Sciences, attended the lecture.
The conference room for 200 people was packed.
The moderator, the vice president of the Academy of Sciences of Jiangzhou University, said with a smile: "Let us welcome Mr. Zhou to the stage with warm applause......
