There are more independent laboratories in Peking University than ordinary schools, but the difficulty of obtaining independent laboratories is doubled, because there are more people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

For example, Yang Rui's Tang Centralized Laboratory, which is an early provincial laboratory, is currently rushing to the first batch of national laboratories, once successful, this is the number of advanced laboratories in the country, not to mention that most of the two schools do not have, and a school that is unlucky may not be able to apply for the first batch of national laboratories.

Such a laboratory, not to mention the annual funding of tens of millions of dollars, is a problem that is difficult to solve today.

Professor Wang Yong, who is a little weaker than Tang Central, and his independent laboratory is also a provincial and ministerial laboratory, although he did not apply for the first batch of national laboratories, but in terms of the current development situation, it is the last three or five years.

Even Wang Yong's laboratory, placed in the second school, can be expanded into a laboratory building.

Even lower levels of laboratories usually receive some municipal or departmental names, but in schools, these most common university-level laboratories are still not what any professor can think of, and there is no impact factor of 8. Papers above 0 can't be mixed up at Peking University at all.

Impact Factor 8. 0's papers are twice as high as Yang Rui's previous "JMC", such papers, doctoral students studying abroad can send out, domestic scholars are very hard, and some people even brush for seven or eight years, and students brush from associate professors to professors, and then work hard to queue up.

Every researcher wants their own independent laboratory.

Because a laboratory first has hundreds of thousands of instruments and equipment, and secondly, there is a laboratory establishment, especially a fixed experimental fund.

Compared with the independent individuals who have to apply every year, the fixed funding of independent laboratories can at least give researchers a lot of confidence.

When a project is halfway through, no one wants to experience the torment of not having rice in the pot.

The most important thing is that having an independent laboratory also has independent authorship rights.

Yang Rui's independent scientific research group is affiliated with the name of the Tang Centralized Laboratory, and many of his papers will be named after the Tang Centralized Laboratory.

And the paper he wrote in the name of Tang Concentration Laboratory, it stands to reason that Tang Concentration should be written as the corresponding author, that is, the laboratory boss. It is also because Yang Rui has money himself that he can keep this right of authorship, because he provides himself with funds, so he is his own boss.

If in a few years, national laboratories of various universities will be established one after another, and under the concentration of resources, it will be even more difficult to have independent laboratories. Not to mention a student like Yang Rui, even professors have to encounter all kinds of troubles.

"I'm going to talk about the project I want to do first, right?" Yang Rui touched his chin, feeling the urge to take out the heat-resistant polymerase of thermophilic bacteria. Of course, it's just such an impulse.

Enjoying all the benefits of PCR is Yang Rui's established plan.

However, in terms of short-term benefits, the temptation of Peking University's independent laboratories is also great.

Professor Cai nodded slightly and said, "We can give you 30 minutes, you can do whatever you want, but whether or not you approve it is everyone's decision." If you can't think of it, it doesn't matter, just say it. ”

If you are doing scientific research, you are working on a project in your hand, and you must still have ten or eight projects in your head.

Creativity is such a thing, success is naturally precious, and what has not yet been verified should at least have a quantitative advantage.

If Yang Rui said that he couldn't think of it, then it would not make much sense to give him another half a month and a month to think about it, and for the professor group, this is also equivalent to a decision.

Yang Rui could sense the meaning of Professor Cai's words, smiled, and said, "I'll think about it for a few minutes first." ”

"Okay, let's have tea first. Professor Cai greeted with a smile.

Giving Yang Rui an independent laboratory is naturally a compliment. Not to mention anything else, if Yang Rui wants to study abroad in the future, it's just like that, basically he can go to whichever school he wants.

However, whether Yang Rui can support an independent laboratory is another consideration.

Yang Rui also guessed that most of the professors and associate professors who came here had most of the potassium channel items in their eyes.

Deigning to cooperate with Yang Rui, it is likely to brush up a paper from a top journal, which is the most driving thing.

In other words, if Yang Rui's new project does not reach the level of access to top journals, it is likely to be rejected.

Professor Cai's test was not without difficulty.

However, no matter how difficult things are, it is not more difficult than scientific research competition.

For the sake of an independent laboratory, it is still worth the brain.

The conference room is vertically southern, and the floor exposed to the sun is full of dazzling bright spots, which makes people unconsciously confused with their thoughts.

While thinking about it, Yang Rui thought about the division of Sinovel Laboratories, and then asked: "Professor Cai, I signed a contract with Sinovel and I, if I set up an independent laboratory, Peking University and Sinovel will probably have to re-sign the contract and divide the authority." ”

"No problem, I'll have people talk to them. Professor Cai admitted that there may not be much gap between academicians and alternate academicians in terms of academic level, but their social ability is too poor, which is originally a social position.

Yang Rui put his mind at ease, thought carefully, and decided to start with the potassium channel.

Because this is equivalent to a two-way selection meeting, trust comes first, and the reason why the dozens of professors and associate professors present are sitting here is first of all because his paper "Cloning Mutant Genes to Analyze the Function of Potassium Channels" is well written, and everyone trusts him to have the most basic academic ability.

It is common for a scholar to spend his life in a narrow field, but it is rare for a scholar to work in a wide range of fields.

20-year-old Yang Rui, if he wants to win trust, he should choose topics in successful fields.

It's just that the important topic of the beautiful word is meaningless, such as anti-cancer research, everyone knows that it is very important and valuable, but if Yang Rui proposes it, no one will follow him.

In addition, unlike what ordinary people imagine, although the "potassium channel" that exists in the cell is invisible to the naked eye, it is actually a very complex field, not to mention that Yang Rui chose the topic from it, and the people in the entire conference room participated, which was just a drop in the bucket.

In the next two or three decades, the field of potassium channel will also be enthusiastic.

The paper published in "Cell" mainly studies the "function of potassium channels", and alongside them, there are also "the structure of potassium channels", "the expression characteristics of potassium channel genes", and "the regulation of potassium channel gene expression......

In the "Structure of potassium channels" section, it can also be subdivided into "general structure", "subunit structure", "pore region mechanism", "terminal structure", "auxiliary subunit", "interacting protein", "mink-like polypeptide", and so on.

In these subdivisions, for example, "subunits" can give birth to "expression and function of subunits", "site binding of subunits", "selectivity of subunits to subunits", and so on.

If the hair growth part of any subdivision is thoroughly studied, it is enough for a professor of a prestigious university to get the title of "tenured professor".

However, Yang Rui knows that the future development of potassium channels does not mean that these subdivisions have a research basis at present.

Some research directions may take twenty or thirty years of accumulation before they have the corresponding equipment foundation, some directions may need a pre-direction to lay the foundation, and there are some directions that people in the 80s may not even have a concept of.

For example, if the "function of potassium channels" is to be subdivided, more control genes must be found and more gene expressions must be found, which need to be followed by the trend of papers in batches before they can be continued.

From this point of view, the value of following the trend paper is not weak.

Yang Rui thought about it and finally decided to pull out the interacting protein, the reason is very simple, the research of the protein is relatively thorough, there is no problem with the pre-research, and the research cost will be relatively low.

However, how to arouse the interest of everyone present, especially the associate professors, is another science.

Yang Rui has no interest in co-forming an independent laboratory, can the co-established laboratory still be called an independent laboratory?
