Chapter 573: Nomination?
In the neurological edition of the journal "Nature" in early March, Tian Lu's last personal article on the blood-brain barrier was published, although the content was eleven pages long, but this time no one objected to the proposal to publish the full text of Xing, so that this landmark paper could be presented to the world in full picture!
In just one week, a storm of blood-brain barrier theory swept the neuroscience community all over the world!
Yes, all over the world, the entire neuroscience community!
If the articles on the blood-brain barrier in recent years have only attracted researchers in related fields, as well as a small number of neuroscience scholars and physicians, then this time, whether you are a basic researcher or a physician, whether your research field is related to the blood-brain barrier or not, as long as you are engaged in neuroscience-related majors, you must not ignore this article!
Hunter, the head of the Department of Neurobiology at the University of Cambridge, who got the journal for the first time. According to Morris, this article is very likely to herald the beginning of a new era in neuroscience!
In a sense, this is not an exaggeration at all!
For hundreds of years, the blood-brain barrier has been like a cement wall that does not see the top, blocking the progress of neuroscience in many fields, but in reality, it is needed for basic theoretical research, and even more for clinical drug treatment!
Naturally, Tian Lu's mobile phone was busy again......
“…… Thank you very much, Professor Luca, thank you very much!"
Tian Lu held his mobile phone and sat on the sofa in his office. With a smile on his face, he said: "After perfecting the blood-brain barrier theory, I have some new ideas in the field of epilepsy research, and we can discuss them carefully in the future............
"Okay, let's do it for now, goodbye!"
After hanging up the phone, Tian Lu threw the phone on the coffee table with a snap and let out a long breath!
Looking at the magazine in his hand, Qian Lele couldn't help but smile after seeing Tian Lu's somewhat headache expression: "What's the matter?
"It's not annoying. ”
Tian Lu grinned and said with a wry smile: "But to be honest. This congratulatory call received two or three and that was a pleasure. Picking up six or seven is called satisfaction, but if you keep picking up at the end of the day, it can only be hard!"
"Hehe, this is more hard than people can hope for!"
Han Jun smiled. He said comfortingly.
The persuasion of the two in turn made Tian Lu feel that he was a little hypocritical. After smiling. He didn't say anything more, but he hesitated at the thought of waiting for a conversation with the two of them. Or turn off the phone for the time being. The landline in his office is only known to a few people from the Future Biology and Research Institute, and he is not afraid of someone calling.
"You two, I have something to tell you today. ”
After calming down, Tian Lu pondered the words for a while, and then spoke: "I will take a little more time to come here in March, you will inform you, if there are any difficult problems in each research group, try to find me to solve them this month! From next month, my main focus this year will be on the clinic, that is, except for special circumstances, I can only rely on the two of you in the laboratory!"
"Huh?"
After hearing this, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and Qian Lele asked with some confusion: "What's wrong? Aren't you a three-way business, why do you suddenly want to focus on clinical practice?"
As the director of the laboratory, Qian Lele was of course a little dissatisfied with Tian Lu's sudden decision.
Shaking his head, Tian Lu said with a smile: "The work of the research institute and the laboratory has completely entered the right track, and I am idle here a lot of the time, and it is almost the same one day a week." As for neurosurgery, I'm going to start working on a new technique recently, so it's going to involve a lot of effort. ”
"What new technology?"
Hearing Tian Lu say this, Qian Lele put aside those slight dissatisfaction for a while, and asked with some curiosity.
"Hint, it's related to Qiaoqiao's subject!"
Tian Lu blinked and said with a smile.
Qian Lele suddenly realized, and then said with some contempt: "Isn't it neural stem cells! Also, Qiaoqiao's project is close to completion, and according to your original plan, it is indeed time for clinical application." However, Tian Lu, the application of stem cells in neurosurgery seems to have been carried out for a short time, and there are many hospitals in China that are doing quite well.
"If you want to take your time, you can take your time. ”
Tian Lu smiled slightly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think it will be a year or two at most, and you should be able to see what difference my research is............
Compared with being elected as an academician and winning the first prize of two national awards, Tian Lu's research review did not appear in the ordinary news media at all, after all, ordinary people will not care about these scientific progress that no one can understand, and their eyes will only pay attention to those honors, awards and the like.
But in the field of neuroscience, the sensation caused by the publication of this article is far from what ordinary people can imagine!
To put it bluntly, after Tian Lu has broken through several key barriers one after another, research in the field of blood-brain barrier has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, and it can be said that it has reached a critical point, and the publication of this article is actually a summary and induction, but such a simple summary and induction is like a lighthouse, so that all neuroscience experts who have been troubled by it for a long time can see the light of progress!
Far across the ocean, in picturesque San Diego, at the Scripps Research Institute, where Tian Lu worked for two years, neuroscientist Bailey. In Professor Price's office, a white man with a white beard is holding the latest issue of Nature magazine, watching intently.
"Get ......"
The gentle knock on the door did not wake Professor Bailey from the sea of academic papers, and he did not react in any way. Until the knock on the door became louder and louder, affecting his thoughts, his brows suddenly furrowed, he raised his head suddenly, and shouted angrily, "Who's outside the door?"
"Professor, it's me, Alice!"
Hearing the anger in the professor's tone in the room, his secretary Alice immediately replied in horror.
"Come in!"
Professor Bailey also immediately realized his gaffe, and his tone quickly adjusted, returning to normal calm.
Pushing the door open, he walked into Professor Bailey's office. After Alice saw the magazine in his hand. I suddenly understood what was going on in my heart, and I couldn't help but sigh secretly.
As a senior professor at Scripps Research Institute and one of four Nobel laureates, Professor Bailey is naturally highly respected. But after a few years as his secretary, Alice discovered something. That is, Professor Bailey is usually very amiable. But whenever he is immersed in research, or reading a paper that is important to him, he must not be disturbed!
Once the train of thought is disturbed. The kind professor will immediately become a devil, and his temper will become very short-tempered, and Alice has suffered a lot over the years. The professor will soon return to normal and apologize to her, but whoever encounters this kind of thing will probably not be happy, right?
Sure enough, after Alice walked into the room, Professor Bailey immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Alice, I was so engrossed in reading the article just now, I'm very sorry!"
"It's okay, Professor. ”
Alice, who was already used to it, immediately shook her head and smiled: "I came in to remind you that your plane is half past ten, if you don't feel too nervous, you should leave now!"
"Okay, give me five minutes!"
Professor Bailey immediately remembered that he was going to New York today to give an academic lecture, and it was indeed time to go.
Alice didn't go out right away, but was about to help the professor pack his things, but when she caught another glimpse of the magazine, she suddenly smiled and said, "Professor, were you reading Tian's article just now?"
"Yes!"
Professor Bailey replied subconsciously, then raised his head and asked with a smile, "Alice, you should have seen it too, right?"
"Excellent!"
As Professor Bailey's secretary, Alice is also a researcher in neuroscience, so she naturally understands the value of Tian Lu's review!
After a pause, Alice then exclaimed: "What's even more surprising is that the content of the review review is almost exactly the same as his book "The Blood-Brain Barrier", which is incredible!"
"yes!"
Professor Bailey's eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, and he also sighed: "That is to say, the book Tian wrote a few years ago is almost the scientific prediction of the research on the blood-brain barrier in the past few years! Such an achievement is simply shocking!"
Although his research field is not the blood-brain barrier, as a neuroscientist, Professor Bailey has always maintained a high degree of attention to Tian Lu's research results, especially his collaborative research with the Scripps Department of Neurobiology.
Nodding, Alice suddenly smiled and said, "I'm not sure if it's shocking, but I can be sure that it won't be long before Scripps will produce another Nobel Prize winner!"
Between the words, Alice's pride was palpable!
The Scripps Institute now has four Nobel laureates, but there are also many winners among the scientists who have studied, worked, and eventually gone out, and in Alice's mind, Tian Lu belongs to this kind of person.
Professor Bailey didn't object to Alice's words, but the expression on his face showed that he agreed with Alice's judgment.
With a move in her heart, Alice suddenly smiled and said: "Professor, you are a Nobel Prize winner, naturally you are qualified to nominate candidates, the time for nomination this year has passed, but next year, I think you can try to nominate Tian! Although it is a little earlier, but in terms of Tian's achievements, I think he already has this qualification!"
"yes, he must have that qualification. ”
Professor Bailey took a deep breath, and couldn't help but look at his bookcase, where there was a material that had just been delivered by courier not long ago, and he needed to evaluate and review it in another capacity!
"Oops!"
Just as Professor Bailey was about to fall into deep thought, Alice suddenly exclaimed, "Professor, please hurry, five minutes have passed, and you are still not prepared at all......" (To be continued......
