"Professor Murphy, are you starting your own company?"
Jin Muchen looked at the name of the company's legal person on the financing report and asked.
"Yes, I heard that it was because of the problem of experimental funding, and I fell out with the leaders of the school."
Harvey explained to Jin Muchen, who nodded when he heard this.
Speaking of the initiator of this financing application, it is really related to him before.
This Professor Murphy, when he was a student at Columbia University, was not small, and he was said to be a genius, who received a double doctorate in medicine and pharmacology at the age of 28.
Later, in the research institute of the university, he led a research group, which seemed to specialize in cancer treatment.
It is said that he is not famous for the targeted tracking of cancer cells by nanomaterials, and some people even say that he can win the Nobel Prize in medicine before the age of 40.
However, although he is very famous, he has the same problem as many geniuses, that is, he is a little arrogant, that is to say, he is a bit poor in terms of emotional intelligence, and he is always cold in receiving people and things.
When the school arranged for him to teach his own group of pharmacology students, he always ignored them, and most of them were cold in class, so although he was quite famous, Jin Muchen and the others didn't like his classes very much.
Even Jin Muchen felt that this guy, before the age of forty, could win the Nobel Prize, which was completely a person with a heart and killed him.
With his temper, he can safely mix in school for the rest of his life. Thank goodness for it.
In fact, in many ways abroad, it is the same as at home. You want to do things. Then you have to learn to be a man first, and if you can't even understand how to be a man, how can you talk about doing things?
So Jin Muchen is actually not very optimistic about this guy, and it is quite strange to see the project he applied for financing at this time.
"The ...... he runs now"
He tentatively asked Harvey that Harvey must have known more than he did in this area, and that the information was not too detailed, only a few pages. So it's not so easy to understand Murphy's company through these materials.
"His company, called Zhanda Technology, is actually more of a small research institute than a company. More than a year ago, the main direction of the scientific research team he led in the school was the targeted tracking and killing of cancer cells by nanorobots, but he fell out with the leader in charge of funding at that time because of the amount of funding. I got out of school with that task force. I set up this research institute by myself, and I also received a lot of investment in the early stage. Recently, however, it has been facing a state of depletion of funds. What about his company? I can't say this well, you know that I am a law student, and I am not so proficient in scientific research, as for whether to vote for him or not, it depends on you. ”
Harvey's words made Jin Muchen hesitate, he was not very optimistic about this Murphy, but now he was listening to Harvey say this, and looking at the amount of money he wanted to finance, it was as high as three million, and he gave up the project in his heart.
Then I picked up another financing plan and looked at it carefully, this financing plan also came from one of his alumni at Columbia, who was several years older than them and used to be a prominent figure in the school back then.
The man's name was Scott. Dietrich, who was also the elite of their pharmacology major that year, is said to have invited him to stay and teach at the school after graduating from college, but he did not agree, and went to the Sark Medical Institute on the West Coast.
After seeing this financing report today, Jin Muchen learned that he had actually come back, and he had also set up a private research institute, and this was the first time he applied for financing, and the amount of financing was also as high as three million US dollars.
To be honest, there are many such institutes, not to mention the whole United States, even in New York, and this research institute called ADATA is not well-known at all, and it has only been established for about a year.
If it had been before, Jin Muchen would not have wasted time at all when he saw such a financing report, and would have just thrown it aside.
But this time, he stopped, the reason is very simple, because of this Scott he is very interested, and the most important thing is that he is now leading the scientific research project, he is very optimistic.
Human Joint Reconstruction Project!
It may sound lofty, but in fact, such a project has been born in the world medical community for decades.
To put it simply, such as dentures, a little more complicated, such as various artificial bone joints, is actually not a tall project, but the key is that the 3D printing technology mentioned in the project book makes Jin Muchen very interested.
In recent years, this 3D printing technology has frequently appeared in many media, and many people say that this is the beginning of the industrial revolution in the next century, but because of the limitations of technology and materials, the development of this technology in machining is very limited.
But in terms of medicine, this thing has an advantage, some time ago, the University of Florida used this technology to create a human blood vessel, and in a child's body, the implantation was very good, and it caused a sensation at that time.
Many people think that the application of this technology in medicine will be far greater than its achievements in machining.
And now many well-known medical professions in the United States, or scientific research institutions, are developing this technology for modern applications.
And he is very interested in the ADATA Research Institute led by Scott.
Harvey looked at him very carefully, and felt that there should be a door to this project, so he said to him with a smile.
"This Scott, for those of you who majored in pharmacology at Columbia, should be quite famous."
"Yes, the year I enrolled, he just went to the Sark Institute for three years, and when the school started, the professor also asked him to come back and give a speech to our younger students, and at that time, there were still many people who regarded him as the target of future catch-up, but I didn't expect him to return to the East Coast quietly, I really don't know what he thinks? If he persists in Sak, he may have a chance to win the Nobel Prize! ”
"Haha, this can only be said that everyone has their own ambitions! I've been in contact with him, I've heard him talk about his project, and I think his project is more reliable than that of Professor Murphy. You know, his main project, as a layman, I think it's very interesting, and the probability of success is very high. If it weren't for the fact that his institute had only been established for a year, I don't think you would have gotten this investment opportunity. ”
Harvey's meaning is very clear, if it weren't for the fact that Scott is in a dormant period now, Jin Muchen would definitely not have a chance to invest in him, and those who are qualified to invest in him must be Sequoia Investment, or giant vampires like XXX Fund.
Although Harvey didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of this strong recommendation was already very clear, and after Jin Muchen heard it, his heart also lit up.
"Where is their company, can I go and take a look?"
"Hehe, no problem, let's go."
Harvey had obviously been waiting for his words for a long time.
The two went straight downstairs, got to Harvey's Lexus, and then went all the way west, and soon found the Navigan company at the abandoned Pier 31.
To be honest, if Harvey hadn't brought him here, Jin Muchen would never have thought that this Scott would actually open his research institute here.
But it's reasonable to think about it again, after all, there are more talented people in Manhattan, and these abandoned dock warehouses are actually very cheap rent, so it's quite appropriate to rent them to start a research institute.
It's safer than going to Brooklyn or Queens, where if you rent a warehouse and open a research institute, you might go to work the next day and you'll find that you've lost all your research tools or anything.
When they got to the warehouse, Scott and the others had just come back from lunch, and the members of the institute were simple, only seven or eight people.
And most of these people are Jin Muchen's former brothers and sisters at Columbia University, Harvey introduced Jin Muchen to a few of them, and these people were very happy after hearing it.
Hurriedly took the two of them into the warehouse, this warehouse seemed to be very leaky from the outside, but after entering, Jin Muchen found that there was a hole here.
The interior is decorated with a bit of the scientific research institutes in Hollywood movies, the kind of tall taste, what a horizontal LOFT corridor, a transparent office with floor-to-ceiling windows, and various experimental equipment, but the most expensive should be the two 3D printers in the warehouse.
"This is the 300 model of the Float Silk printer, which is specially used for the printing of medical projects, and it is also the most valuable asset in my laboratory. For the sake of these two big guys, I took my salary and bonus for three years at the Sark Institute, and if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have fallen to the point where I needed to apply for financing? ”
Compared to that Professor Murphy, this Senior Brother Scott is much easier to deal with.
Although he has also made extraordinary achievements in his scientific research field, he is not arrogant at all, he treats people and things, and speaks very politely, which makes Jin Muchen feel very comfortable.
"Scott, can you tell me a little bit about what your recent PR project has been, and it's getting to that stage now? And what are your plans for the future and what are the prospects? ”
Jin Muchen didn't plan to go around in circles, but asked Scott directly straight to the point.
"Alright, let's go over there."
Scott pointed to the transparent conference room enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass in the middle of the warehouse, Jin Muchen and Harvey followed him, and then someone brought them a few cups of coffee, but when Jin Muchen said thank you to the errand who delivered the coffee, he couldn't help but be stunned......
