Chapter 501: Shameful Waste
In addition to Chen Mowubing's original team, more than 30 genomics and bioinformatics experts were divided into two groups, each group responsible for the detection of a protein.
After the division of labor is completed, the expert group begins to discuss their methods of completing the project and preparing experimental theories. Everyone wants to find out the two toxic protein genes in the shortest possible time.
The researchers all knew that Chen Mo came to them just to speed up the research, and a few days faster could save many people's lives.
Chen Mo and Wu Bing came out of the research institute, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the two of them also rushed back to the dormitory.
"How long do you think it will take for this expert group study to be completed?"
"It shouldn't take too long, and finding the gene sequence is not a problem, mainly because it requires multiple tests. With so many experts involved, the time can be shortened a lot. ”
The reason why Chen Mo said this is because DNA testing technology is very mature now. Finding the genetic sequence and structure of a protein is not a difficult task, and it can be said that it is a basic skill in the study of genomics.
"I hope so. If this vaccine research is successful, you will be a hero, Chen Yingxing. Wu Bing quipped.
"Heroes are wool, I don't want to be a hero, I'm a businessman, I want to make money. Customized vaccines came out, vaccine technology revolution, a bunch of gold mountains were placed in front of me, and now there are dozens of experts to help me accelerate technological breakthroughs, almost quite free labor. ”
Seeing Chen Mo get up, Wu Bing was a little speechless.
"With so many experts and academicians as free labor, I'm afraid that there is only a bold businessman like you in the whole world. If they knew, they would probably arrest you and parade you in the streets. ”
Chen Mo spread his hands and expressed helplessness: "I just want a few more genomics experts, and as a result, I was called more than 30 of them, and I don't need to spend money, it's a shame to waste." ”
He and Shi Hongtu said that they needed a few genetic engineering experts to help, but Shi Hongtu was afraid of lack of manpower, so he reported that it was a technical breakthrough, and found more than 30 top genetic researchers, which greatly surprised him.
Since he came, Chen Mo naturally would not let go of this good opportunity and let these researchers help him study it for free.
"Next, we need to prepare for the genetic modification experiments of the vaccine. It is necessary to find a few teachers who study the regulation of gene expression into the group, and the time for subsequent transformation will be much shorter. ”
"Academician Yang Yunjia is an expert in this area, he is presiding over an expression regulation project, he can, and Academician Wang Qi, Academician Gao Fu......" Wu Bing said the names of several relevant academicians.
"Hmm." Chen Mo wrote down a few names.
"Would you like to eat together?" After talking about work, Wu Bing turned the topic back to life.
"No, the ink girl cooked and waited for me in the dormitory." Chen Mo said.
Speaking of ink girls, Wu Bing's eyes became strange.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I've always had a question for you, Mo Nu came here with you and still lived together, does your wife know?" Wu Bing looked at Chen Mo curiously, wanting to see how he reacted.
"What are you trying to express?" Chen Mo had a black line in his head.
"Didn't your wife object?"
Chen Mo couldn't cry or laugh, he couldn't explain this, and there was no need to explain it, so he could only shrug his shoulders: "No, she also told Mo Nu how to take care of me and what to pay attention to." It made me feel like I couldn't take care of myself. ”
"Well, your wife has a big heart." Wu Bing smiled meaningfully: "Mo Nu is not ordinarily beautiful, she looks like the pearl of a rich and noble family, why did you come to you as an assistant?" ”
"Charisma."
"......" Wu Bing rolled his eyes.
Over the next few days, the team of experts entered a state of emergency study. Everyone was nervous and wanted to complete their research projects as soon as possible.
More than 30 top genomics and bioinformatics experts are concentrating on one topic here, and the medical community in the capital has become busier than ever.
The Capital Institute of Biological Genetics is also used as one of the research institutes for this research, and the experimental materials needed will also be quickly put in place under the coordination of the CDC, and all channels are dedicated to providing the fastest assistance for this research.
Against the clock.
As Chen Mo expected, it didn't take long for the good news to come out of the laboratory.
Seeing the results of the report, not only Yang Yunjia, but also other team members had joy on their faces.
Their group is responsible for the topic of T3 protein, which is one of the two toxic proteins that Chen Mo said. Two days ago, the gene sequence of the T1 protein was found by members of the T1 group.
For the past two days, they have been thinking about the gene of the T3 protein they are looking for, and today it is finally completed.
Finding the genetic sequence is not difficult for them, but when it comes to the Reedman virus vaccine, which can save thousands of lives, they feel a great sense of accomplishment.
"The location of the gene sequence of the T3 protein has been found, and Academician Chen has been informed that the task of our group has also lived up to its trust."
"Thank you, everyone, for your hard work."
After getting the experimental data, Chen Mo thanked the researchers on the field.
Once the genetic sequences of the two proteins are found, the rest is much easier. However, in order to be faster, Chen Mo also needed to bring in a few people to participate in the research.
Now the group is full of genomics experts, and there are several academicians who study the regulation of gene expression.
To save time and get the vaccine done faster, yes, that's it.
Chen Mo finished thinking before he spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next, we need to limit the expression of these two protein genes on the vaccine system platform, because the experiment has multiple directions, and some manpower is needed, and I am afraid that you will need your help."
"We're here to help, Academician Chen, if there's anything you need from us, just bring it up." Yang Yunjia stood up.
"Because there are many ways to limit gene expression, gene amplification, deletion, methylation modification, gene manipulation, etc. These methods are fine, but we don't know the impact of these two genes on the vaccine system platform, so we are ready to try both of these methods.
We're also revamping the vaccine platform, using all methods to test at the same time to see what works. It can greatly save time, and it may take a long time to try one by one. Our group can only conduct experiments in one direction in a short period of time, so we need experts in gene expression regulation to preside over the experiments in the remaining directions. ”
"I'll count me as one." Yang Yunjia said.
"I'm one."
"I'm here to join in the fun!!"
Wu Bing said that several experts and academicians in the study of gene expression regulation have come forward. In the end, Chen Mo identified several of the most prestigious academicians as the leaders of the group to preside over research in other directions.
After the task was assigned, Chen Mocai said to Shi Hongtu: "Team Leader Shi, you asked people to send all the patients infected with the virus to the hospital so that we can conduct vaccine trials. ”
"Okay." Shi Hongtu immediately agreed.
The mortality rate of infection with the virus is 100%, and if you send it for treatment, there is still a slight chance of survival, and if there is no family member of the patient, you will refuse treatment.
After proper arrangement, the members of the six groups, under the guidance of Chen Mo, began to transform the vaccine.
