"Do you want to work on custom vaccine technology?"

In the conference room of the research institute, Chen Mo's words made Shi Hongtu and the other expert members show a look of surprise. Only Wu Bing was relatively calm, and when she knew Chen Mo's thoughts on the road just now, she was also a little incredible.

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded.

Last night, I carefully digested the technical data of the "Customized Vaccine System", and I already had a general idea in my mind.

"Customized vaccine technology, many medical scientists are researching, but no one can guarantee when it will be successful. We don't have that much time to work on this technology right now. Shi Hongtu said.

Including Wu Bing, other expert groups agreed with Shi Hongtu's words.

The concept of customized vaccine technology has been put forward for a long time, and some research progress has also been made, but at present, in the medical field, customized vaccines are still at the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and it is a bit inappropriate to use them in this emergency virus event.

They only have a month to do now, and the efficacy of the modified HX3 agent can probably delay the epidemic by a month. A month later, the first people to use the modified HX3 agent lost its effect and a steady stream of deaths occurred.

"This is the direction I have identified and the most sure of success." Chen Mo said.

Everyone on the field had strange expressions, and Shi Hongtu's eyelids jumped. Customized vaccine technology can be said to be one of the most difficult topics in all the current research on specific drugs. Now has it become the direction that Chen Mo is most sure of? I have to say that Chen Mo's idea is a bit different.

"We don't have much time." Said a member of the expert group.

"What do you mean there's not much time? Who can determine which study has the shortest duration? Do you want to develop a specific drug within a month? Isn't it clear to you about this kind of thing? Maybe tomorrow a team will announce that it has found a cure, and maybe the whole human race will not be wiped out. ”

Chen Mo's question made everyone on the field quiet and a little embarrassed. They want to treat patients quickly, but ignore that research is being done now.

They all know that if they study this kind of thing, it may suddenly succeed tomorrow, or maybe it may not succeed when they enter the coffin, mainly depending on whether the researchers can find the node of the technological breakthrough.

If you can't find the key, it's in vain to give you any amount of time, you can find it, and there is a smooth road ahead.

"Customized vaccine technology is not mature, and the speed of development may be slower than that of other drugs." A gray-haired expert said: "Why don't you continue to study HX3, Academician Chen, the improved HX3 agent has successfully suppressed the Reedman virus, and if you make improvements, it may not be impossible to eliminate the virus." ”

This made the other medical experts nod their heads.

The modified HX3 agent has achieved good results, at least against the Reedman virus, which is a definite direction.

"HX3 is only a protease inhibitor, and its effect is limited to inhibiting the replication of viral proteins, allowing the virus to enter a dormant period, and it cannot inactivate the virus itself, otherwise its function is not to reduce viral activity. If it can really get rid of the virus, the direction of my improvement at the beginning is not to inhibit its metabolism. Chen Mo said.

HX3 was developed by him to the starfish, all the functions and effects, he knows it clearly, no matter how to change it, its effect is to reduce the activity of the virus, and the essence cannot be changed.

"But the custom vaccine technology, this technology is full of too many uncertainties."

"You have a definite research direction for Reedman's virus specific drugs, which direction is correct?" Chen Mo asked.

All the researchers in the field were breathless and unable to answer.

"Did you really decide to look into a custom vaccine?" Shi Hongtu asked.

He is the leader of the medical team, and his main task is to find a specific drug that can target the Reedman virus as soon as possible, although he does not agree with Chen Mo's research on customized vaccines, but he cannot influence Chen Mo's thoughts.

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded.

The scene fell silent again, and they didn't have a good way to insist on Chen Mo.

"Let me tell you what I think."

Wu Bing spoke, and everyone on the field looked at her. As one of the youngest researchers in the medical team, Wu Bing's ability is not lower than others, so his words still carry a lot of weight.

"Academician Chen formed a group independently to study customized vaccine technology, and others studied reverse enzyme inhibitors, so that they were divided into two groups and went hand in hand, at least one more possibility in the choice, so as not to have a dead end."

Shi Hongtu sighed, looking at Chen Mo's posture, it was impossible to give up the research direction of custom antibodies, and it was useless for them to say more. Chen Mo has the right to freely choose any direction of research without restrictions, which is what Chen Mo said when he joined the group.

Now Chen Mo is only informing them, not asking for their opinions.

"Since Academician Chen insisted, according to what Academician Wu said, the group led by Academician Chen will study customized vaccine technology, and others will study reverse enzyme inhibitors according to the original research plan."

Shi Hongtu finally came to a conclusion.

"Who would like to join Academician Chen's group and work together on customized vaccine technology?"

Many experts on the field did not open their mouths, and customized vaccines are studied in ordinary times, and if they come out, this is a cross-era vaccine technology. But now in the time of the virus outbreak, this is not a good option.

"As before, my team and I will join Academician Chen's group for research." Wu Bing said.

Chen Mo was not surprised by this situation, and as he expected, he just nodded slightly to Wu Bing.

"Okay, today's meeting is over, everyone continues to carry out research, and any progress is immediately reported to discuss together, and the current epidemic situation outside is not optimistic."

Shi Hongtu's last sentence made the atmosphere heavy.

……

In a small office at the institute, six researchers sit quietly.

The six personnel are members of Wu Bing's team, four men and two women, all of whom look young, all around 30 years old, and are the lowest average age team in the medical team. They are all outstanding students of the Faculty of Medicine of the Academy of Sciences, or members of the medical research project team, and the minimum education is a medical doctor.

At this time, Chen Mo and Wu Bing were also in the laboratory, and Chen Mo had some documents in his hand.

"Now I will assign you your own tasks, and the topic of our group is customized vaccine technology. This is a bit difficult, and if you want to speed up the research and development, you have to cooperate with me in research. ”

Chen Mo spoke, and several people cheered up. Although Chen Mo did not graduate from medical school, from the beginning of the VFV virus to the success of the modified HX3 drug, he had proven himself strong enough to be a mentor to any of them.

"You are divided into two groups, the first group, together with Academician Wu, is responsible for isolating the protective antigen genes of the virus and determining the gene sequence. The second group will work with me to build a system platform for customized vaccines, which is your subject material. ”

Chen Mo handed the information in his hand to a few people.

"It's an epoch-making technology, and if it succeeds, it will have a revolutionary effect on the medical field. Medical scientists can quickly produce infectious disease vaccines against a certain condition, or even mixed vaccines that carry multiple antigens. ”

The six people were awe-inspiring, and their hearts were hot for a while.

The country is not a hard-hit area, and it is relatively calm. But the international medical community is not calm, and almost all famous immunology doctors have been called together to set up a special research team.

The modified HX3 agent treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

The situation of patients is special, such as severe schizophrenia, and there are also contagious people, and the countries in the hardest hit areas are under unprecedented pressure.

Medical facilities and epidemic prevention supplies have been urgently slackened.

Protective clothing, masks, and gloves are all disinfected and reused repeatedly. The incidence of infection among some health care workers is rising, and some of the worst countries, because of the extreme lack of medical facilities, have put patients in a quarantine area under the control of the military's anti-chemical forces.

With HX3 now, the patient is regained consciousness and management is relatively simple. But after a month, the backlog of patients has not been cured, the medicine has failed, the medical facilities are insufficient, and when the time comes, the patients have lost consciousness again, and no one knows what the consequences will be.

And as time goes by, there is no good news in the medical community that there is a breakthrough in specific drugs. The fight against those on the front lines of medical care began to cast a shadow on their hearts. Because the first patients to use the modified HX3 agent were about to face the consequences of the drug failure.
