"Any feedback from the school?" Junxin hurriedly asked.

"There have been two or three school meetings. However, there is no complete consensus at the moment, but in its current form, it is not surprising that the meeting will be held at the end of this year or in March or April after the New Year next year. The only thing worth considering is that such a conference is too large, and even with the background of Mizuki University, it is difficult to hold such a conference. ”

"At present, the result of the discussion of the university is that this conference will be held, but it cannot be won by one school, so we plan to hold this conference together with Peking University and national institutions through resource sharing." Professor Hu explained.

"It seems that our school alone cannot hold such a large-scale academic event!" Junxin said with emotion.

"Hehe, that's not what I said!" Professor Hu smiled and said, "In fact, with the accumulation of our school, although it is difficult to hold a world conference, it is not impossible to do it. However, the domestic environment has just improved, and no one is willing to risk the world's condemnation to do such a thing, so not holding the public accountable can sometimes become the best solution. This is also an alternative proposed after a long discussion. ”

"That's good, too!" Junxin nodded and said, for the plan given by the school, it was not surprising to him, after chatting with Gu Lao, Junxin knew that it was really difficult to do it with the current Mizuki University alone. However, in such a big event in the scientific community, it is also a great thing to be able to occupy the identity of a sponsoring school.

"The school committee told me that you have to come back then!" Professor Hu said.

Junxin nodded and said to Professor Hu on the other side of the phone: "This is something that has already been decided, so there is no need to say it again." I will return to China after the end of this semester, but due to the progress of the experiment, I may be stranded for about a month, and no later than mid-August. ”

"What is the experiment?"

Wen Yanjunxin explained: "I recently accepted the invitation of Princeton University to open a comprehensive course in mathematics, because the course involves physics, chemistry, biology, computer science and other disciplines, I know more about other subjects, but biology is a little understood, so I applied to the school for a laboratory." As a pilot subject for curriculum reform at Princeton, I was given a lab. A few days ago, when I was looking at the paper of Professor Speman, winner of the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, I noticed that he raised a very interesting question. ”

"In 1938, Professor Speman and his students discovered that by transplanting the nucleus of an early salamander into an embryo of an advanced salamander with the nucleus removed, the embryonic cells could continue to develop into a complete salamander. Since nuclear transfer alone allows organisms to gradually divide and differentiate from a single cell into a complete individual, this phenomenon must not exist only in embryos. When will adult cells be able to regain their potential to develop into a complete individual using similar techniques? After all, embryonic cells and adult cells are not fundamentally different from each other in terms of at least basic structure, and both are composed of the nucleus and cytoplasm. ”

"Of course, with regard to this technology, which is called cloning, it was realized by Professor John Geddon back in the sixties of this century, and I did not pay too much attention to the technology itself, but to the problem that arose in this technology, the possibility of non-germ cells developing into pluripotent cells. I am currently working on this project, and I expect to complete it by the end of July this year. ”

After listening to Junxin's explanation, Professor Hu was immediately full of questions, he was not a biology graduate, and he was not clear about some biological knowledge at all. But when I heard it, my student seemed to be conducting a remarkable experiment, and even the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine came out. You must know that in order to win such an award, the country spent countless manpower and material resources to create artificial crystalline bovine insulin, and finally failed to win this award, although there are many external factors. But it still shows the authoritative nature of this award.

What makes Professor Hu feel most helpless is that his student is now dabbling in more and more things, if it is pure mathematics, he can still help a little bit, but in biology, it is really hehe. At Mizuki University, the Department of Biology has not yet been rebuilt.

"Need any help from the school?" Professor Hu simply didn't think about anything and left the matter to the school to judge.

Junxin pondered for a moment and said, "It's not helping, it's a cooperation with the school!" ”

"Oh, how do you want to cooperate?" Professor Hu came to be interested.

"Looking at the world's universities, no, it should be said that looking at the current scientific development trend in the world, biology will become an increasingly important discipline, according to my understanding of the development trend of biology in the United States during this time, from human cells and macromolecular substances, to the ecosystem of the biosphere, biology has very important immediate application value, especially the development of biological drugs, as far as I know, the domestic China Pharmaceutical University, seems to be actively seeking to open courses in biological drugs. My suggestion is that it is time to rebuild the biology department of our Mizuki University, and I will be able to build a biology laboratory with the help of the university after returning to China. ”

Professor Hu knew the meaning of Junxin Huazhong when Junxin was about halfway through his speech, and he didn't think much about biology, so he naturally left professional questions to professionals to think about and answer, so as soon as Junxin finished speaking, Professor Hu said: "I don't have any opinion on this issue for the time being." However, according to the school committee, our school does want to rebuild the biology department. I'll tell the school about that. If you have made any great achievements in the United States, I think the school will consider your proposal very carefully. ”

"Then you can help me tell the school committee that my research will produce results in half a year, but I hope to have a laboratory after I go back, so that I can continue to do this achievement and become a technology accumulation and reputation accumulation of domestic laboratories."

"I'll talk to the school committee about this!" Professor Hu nodded and agreed.
