Chapter 1870: Anya Is Here (2)

People rarely do what they believe is right, preferring to do what is more convenient and then regret it.

Some things can be done again if they are wrong, but some can't, Han Xuan doesn't want to regret that he can let Old Barton live for a while longer, but he didn't try his best to do it.

He had enough ability, so after a few phone calls in quick succession, many of the world's leading experts set out to wait for the vehicle to pick him up at the nearest airport and then take a flight to Helena, where the elder Patton is located.

Han Xuan himself also set off, urging his parents to pack up their things, the Boeing 777 private jet that he had taken before was refueling, and he had to carry out routine inspections, and he would soon be ready, he planned to rest in Paris, France for a few days and then return to the United States, but now all the plans have been disrupted, and he can travel at any time, and it is even more important to see Old Patton.

Speaking of the medical research and development center mentioned when I just called, this new research institute with huge investment has already attracted a lot of attention in the industry before it was established, it is located in Santa Clara, California, only about 10 kilometers away from the four towers of the snow-capped mountains.

The institute, called "HIBS", is independent of the Snow Mountain Group, the full name is the Han Institute of Biology, the main funder is the Han Family Charitable Foundation, the establishment of the foundation in the initial commitment of the annual donation, about 25% of the amount of the annual donation will be invested in this medical research institute, California has given sufficient support, attracting many world-renowned medical research workers to join.

The name sounds a bit strange, and people who don't know the inside story don't even know what it does, and 25 percent doesn't seem like much, but it actually represents about 1.5 billion dollars invested behind it, and it happens every year.

In the early days of its establishment, Han Xuan invested more than two billion US dollars, bringing together elite experts from all over the world, formerly known as the Institute of Disease established by Han Xuan, and it is self-evident that he can invest so much money and energy.

The National Institutes of Health and HIBS have reached a cooperation agreement, this official organization is one of the most important research institutions engaged in life science research in the world, the share of federal research and development funds in the United States is second only to the Department of Defense, the annual research and development budget in 2004 is as high as 21 billion US dollars, founded in 1887, with the purpose of emulating German health facilities, serving public health, under the United States Health and Human Services Agency, there are 27 research institutes and medical research centers under its name.

The private research institute called HIBS has successfully overwhelmed the Hughes Medical Institute and transformed into the world's largest private medical research institute, covering oncology, genetics, cytology, genetics, immunology, etiology, etc., with the goal of eliminating diseases including cancer and AIDS, and trying to map the human genome in an attempt to greatly extend human life expectancy and reduce the incidence of diseases.

Since the first human genome map was drawn, the development of this field has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the personal gene map carries all the secrets of the individual's life, including even future interests, hobbies, physical fitness, eating habits, personality and various potential genetic diseases, etc., are clearly written on the personal map.

At present, the most successful application of genetic mapping is definitely the prediction of genetic diseases, and scientists have discovered about 1,000 genes for genetic diseases.

Han Xuan hopes that in the future, as long as a personal genetic map test is done, with the help of doctors, people can know what kind of genetic disease they have, when it will occur, what treatment and other information, which can be predicted in advance to avoid missing the best treatment period, and can also be artificially screened to select the healthiest tadpoles before giving birth, and then give birth to the healthiest baby.

The idea is great, but there is still a long way to go before it is realized, Han Xuan attaches the most importance to genetic research, as long as it is overcome, many diseases that have plagued mankind for thousands of years can be overcome, at the beginning of 2002, HIBS issued an announcement, announcing that as long as one million dollars is donated to the institute, you can draw a genetic map for a specific candidate.

So far, more than 90 billionaires have participated, which is not only to collect data in disguise, but also to raise funds from the public, not to deliberately set a high price, but the technical conditions are not mature, and it is very troublesome to draw a personal genetic map, and one million is not much.

When there is more information in the database, many diseases may be cracked, such as cancer, each cancerous cell has a complete set of genes, in the past, people can only detect and study a small number of genes, if it is possible to map the personal gene map on a large scale, doctors can compare the genetic differences of cells, and then find the mutation of genes, so as to find a means to treat cancer.

It's a pity that the cost of testing is too high, if it can be reduced to less than 5,000 US dollars, preferably less than 1,000 US dollars, I believe it will attract many people to test, Han Xuan is naturally not short of money, as early as 2001, let people collect the blood of himself and his family, and conduct detailed genome sequencing and analysis.

There are no major genetic diseases in the family, and the results show that they are all very healthy, and they belong to the kind that will live a hundred years without accident, and the private donation is in vain, but the doctor told Han Xuan that if Anya does not insist on exercising, she may get three highs in the future, but her mother, Mrs. Cecilia's genes, are not troubled by this, and it is likely that there is a problem with Anya's father's genes.

It is worth mentioning that Steve Jobs, the current CEO of Apple, spent a million dollars, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and he has been suffering from cancer for several years, and after predicting his life expectancy, he promised to undergo surgery and recovered successfully.

This guy was lucky to pick up a life, because he was found early, two years earlier than the treatment in his previous life, the doctor told him that he could live at least twenty-five more years, and finally understood that the human genetic map was terrible, he donated 10 million dollars again, because he learned BlueBerry to sell mobile phones, sold Walkman made a small fortune, and recently Jobs's pocket is quite bulging.

Han Xuan didn't know the details of his death in his previous life, and he couldn't remind him that he might die of illness more than ten years later, so he didn't say much at the beginning, and reminded him that his face was a little bad, and it was best to have frequent physical examinations, but Jobs didn't take it seriously.

In addition, Donald was also detected with the risk of the disease, which is not a serious illness, but a mental illness called "NDP", and Han Xuan couldn't laugh or cry when he learned the details of this disease, because it is called - narcissistic personality disorder.

Thinking back carefully on the process of getting along with each other, he felt that Donald did have a serious narcissistic tendency.......
