Chapter 255: The Subject of First Impressions in the Laboratory

"Sit down!" Junxin didn't put up any shelf, and said casually. Besides, what kind of shelf to put in front of a group of people who are older than himself has always been something he feels awkward, "The main purpose of coming to the laboratory today is to understand and track the current situation of the laboratory, and by the way, to learn about the ongoing projects or topics at hand." But before we get to that, let's introduce ourselves. ”

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself, sir?" As soon as Junxin finished speaking, a man about thirty years old stood up and said.

"It's good!" Junxin was not angry, nodded and said, "My name is Junxin, I am from the Department of Mathematics of Shuimu University in China, I am an exchange student of Princeton University, and I just turned nineteen years old this year. A few days ago, I was hired by Princeton University as a teacher for the comprehensive mathematics course, because this course involves biology, so under my application, the university made an exception to take over the laboratory left by Professor Andrei Ivanov for the time being, and the time is about the end of June, and it should not be more than mid-July at the latest. That's what you need to know about me, and now it's your turn. ”

"Since you were the first to speak, then you will be the first to come!" Junxin pointed to the man who had just asked the question.

"My name is Clement Shashefsky, and I am currently engaged in research on the induction of stem cell differentiation and am Chinese New Year's Eve. By the way, the induced differentiation of stem cells was the subject of my doctoral dissertation. Clement said dryly.

After hearing this, Junxin turned his gaze directly to the girl on his left. The girl was not stage frightened, and said loudly: "My name is Shirley Xavier, I am currently engaged in the purification and preparation of protein substances, and the direction is the purification and preparation of nucleic acid synthase substances, and I am twenty-eight years old this year. By the way, this is my current PhD thesis topic, and I have completed research on DNA synthase and am about to start working on RNA synthase. ”

"Next!"

"My name is Michigan Greene, I'm 23 years old, and I'm mainly doing research on in vitro culture conditions for cells, which is the topic of my master's thesis."

"Navel, Chinese New Year's Eve, is currently working on the chemical structure of cytokines, which is my postdoctoral project, which is almost completed."

“… Hurt, the study of the direction of the signaling pathway..."

“……”

……

"Well, I have a rough idea of what you're doing, Professor Andre is an expert in cells, although his lab looks more like a place for genetic research. Okay, Professor Nat, I need to know if Professor Ivanov has any unfinished work left? ”

Professor Nat shook his head and said, "Ivanov, he doesn't leave any unfinished business. In fact, each of us now has only one subject of our own. All other topics were brought to Harvard by Ivanov to continue. ”

"How is the lab doing so far?" Junxin asked.

"Now everyone is busy with all kinds of topics and papers, only before Ivanov left, he was a little busy and panicked, as for the rest, there is nothing, everything is normal."

"What about the money?" Junxin then asked, the biggest requirement for an experiment to exist is that there must be sufficient funding, and even Princeton is no exception in this regard.

"Because we are working on our own project, the funding has been approved beforehand." "However, the funds for a few of them to complete their dissertations are a bit tight, and although they don't have them yet, they are already showing signs of this." ”

"The degree project is one of the educational contents of the school, and I will solve the funding for this as soon as possible, no later than Wednesday of the following week. If you need funds for your dissertation, hurry up and make a budget for it, and then hand it in, and I will communicate with the school. Junxin said without hesitation, this was also an agreement with the Princeton school when he took over the laboratory, so the most difficult thing for others was the easiest thing for him.

"That's the case, that's for the best." Professor Nat said with a smile.

"Okay, are there any other issues that I need to solve?" Junxin asked again.

"After Professor Ivanov left, what happened to how many of his graduate students?"

"What was it like before?" Junxin asked.

"In the past, whoever took over the laboratory took over this group of students, but I heard that you have been in charge of this laboratory for a maximum of half a year, and you are not a professor at the school, so this process is obviously not good."

"Alright, I got it!" Junxin frowned slightly, he didn't take over the lab to take over this group of troubles, but if he wanted to get their help in the laboratory, he was afraid that he had to help them solve these problems. "I will respond to this problem to the school, I suggest that the professor related to your topic will graduate as your mentor at that time, do you have any other questions?"

Professor Nat and the others looked at each other for a moment, then shook their heads together.

"In that case, I don't think there's anything wrong with you anymore." Junxin nodded and said, "Then let's talk about my business." ”

Nodding at them, Junxin continued: "I'll make it clear. I am a mathematics student, and the reason why I took over this biology laboratory is because the university recently invited me to offer a comprehensive mathematics course, which is mainly centered on mathematics and focuses on solving mathematical problems in physics, chemistry, computer science and biology. ”

"Some time ago, I also read and consulted a lot of biological materials, so I have a complete system of basic knowledge about biology. As I watched more and more, I had some ideas in mind, so I designed a few experiments. ”

"As you all know, there are no experiments in our mathematics department, so for some experimental skills or some other operation skills and the use of instruments, I may need time to learn and operate, but because I don't have much time, many basic experiments need your help and assistance."

"If this doesn't conflict with the progress of our experiment, there shouldn't be a problem!" Professor Nat agreed on the spot, and this is the treatment that the director of the laboratory should enjoy in the laboratory.

"So, what's your problem?"

After hearing this, Junxin turned to face Clemman, smiled and said, "Coincidentally, my topic is also about stem cells!" ”
