Chapter 435: A Little Try
Next. Nine a.m. Zhao Heng was sitting in the office, and at this moment, he was thinking about how to apply the three technologies that have broken the limit, stem cell cultivation, nanotherapy and genetic modification.
In these days, even if you have the technology in your hands, it is not so easy to achieve. Not to mention now, let's just say that in the last century, Tesla had so many advanced technologies in its hands that were ahead of the times, isn't it not that much can be realized.
Moreover, the pharmaceutical industry not only involves a very wide range of interests, but also involves astronomical interests, in the face of these huge interests, everyone who wants to move these cakes will pay a heavy price.
Zhao Heng's previous medical software project with Wang Yaoqing, why it can go so smoothly, on the one hand, is because there are no similar competing products in the market, on the other hand, it is because of Zhao Heng's outstanding achievements in some aspects, and then there is the help of the ministry, which can win so many hospital orders and make this medical software blossom and bear fruit in many large hospitals.
But the premise of this is not to touch the interests of some giant pharmaceutical groups, otherwise, let alone realize the ideal, even the current peaceful life, I don't know if it can be saved.
Why don't you start with small-scale organ cultivation? You know, now there is a high incidence of kidney disease and liver disease, and every year there are many people waiting for kidney and liver organ transplants, and among these people, only a small number of people can wait for donors, which is undoubtedly a very cruel thing.
If stem cells can be extracted and grown directly from patients to grow organs that can be transplanted directly, then this should benefit many people.
There are many things that Zhao Heng wants to do, but at present, although his medical skills have been recognized, and he has also gained a certain reputation in the field of nanotherapy and stem cells, he has never reached the level of the industry's top elders.
In order to reach the level of Professor Li Hongwei, it is necessary to have its own pioneering technology, so this technology, what Zhao Heng thinks now, can come up with, is the technology of cultivating organs with stem cells.
The things involved in nanorobots are also very complex, and they are multidisciplinary linkage, and for a while, I am afraid that we will not be able to find so much investment and resources to land.
Not to mention genetic modification, for a long time, Zhao Heng could only put this technology on the shelf.
Therefore, at present, the only thing that can be put into practice is this stem cell organ cultivation technology that can be piloted on a small scale, and this technology has been put into use in a small range of biological laboratories and hospitals, but the technology is still very immature, and there are many defects in all aspects.
But what Zhao Heng has in his hand can be said to be a very mature technology, and it is not only the organs that can cultivate the kidneys and liver, but even the lungs and even the heart, as long as the conditions are met, they can be tried to cultivate.
Just when Zhao Heng was thinking, a person stood at the door of the office, and seeing Zhao Heng thinking seriously, someone came and said tentatively: "Doctor Zhao? When Zhao Heng heard the voice, it was Wang Yaoqing with a smile on his face.
"Lao Wang?" Seeing that it was Wang Yaoqing, Zhao Heng stood up, welcomed Wang Yaoqing to the sofa and sat down, and then poured him another cup of hand-ground coffee.
"Doctor Zhao, it's still your coffee here that tastes good." Wang Yaoqing took a sip of hand-ground coffee and said with great enjoyment.
For Wang Yaoqing, this recent period is the most relaxed and comfortable period for him in the past few years, after the anesthesia assistant developed with Zhao Heng was launched in major hospitals, his career can be said to be bucking the trend, and he has become a bright new star in the software market.
Although tens of millions of annual income is nothing in the software industry, at present, when everyone is surviving, there can be a stable cash flow income of tens of millions of dollars per year, or the kind that can last for several years or even more than ten years, which has to make other software development companies envious.
"Dr. Zhao, the anesthesia assistant is now fully online, the momentum is very good, and the feedback from major hospitals is also very good." After a pause, Wang Yaoqing reported the good news from the project to Zhao Heng, to be honest, at the beginning, Wang Yaoqing did not expect that this project could be done so well, just to get the orders of major hospitals, Wang Yaoqing expected that it would take at least two to three years to get it.
But he didn't expect that in addition to developing software, Zhao Heng could also have such a strong network in the medical field, so that the anesthesia assistant could be stationed in major hospitals at the fastest speed.
The momentum of the project is so good, he naturally wants to share it with Zhao Heng.
"Well, that's good." Zhao Heng nodded, hearing this good news, his interest was not very high. If it was a few months ago, he would definitely be excited to talk incoherently about the project that could share tens of millions of annual benefits together, but for Zhao Heng now, this income can still be said to be very considerable, and he will not be as excited as before.
"Dr. Zhao, what's wrong?" Seeing that Zhao Heng's interest was not very high, Wang Yaoqing couldn't help asking, in his opinion, Zhao Heng should be very happy after knowing this good news, but now Zhao Heng's reaction was calm, which was really a little unexpected to him.
"The follow-up promotion of this software, Lao Wang, you have bothered a lot." Zhao Heng did not answer Wang Yaoqing's question, but said slowly.
"Dr. Zhao, this is our project together, do you want to quit?" Wang Yaoqing felt that something was wrong.
"How can I quit a project with an annual income of tens of millions, Lao Wang, I mean, I may not be able to spend too much time on upgrading the software database in the future, and you need to form a team to do this work." Zhao Heng explained.
"Harm! I thought it was Dr. Zhao that you were going to quit, no problem, it's okay, originally Dr. Zhao, you have already done a good job of this database, and it will be some updated work in the future, which can be done by someone else. Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Wang Yaoqing breathed a long sigh of relief, and his nervous mood relaxed, not to mention that Zhao Heng participated in the research and development of software, but also to say that Zhao Heng's connections in the medical system, which is worthy of Wang Yaoqing's long-term investment.
Therefore, what Zhao Heng said, this is not a matter at all.
"Does Dr. Zhao have a new project to do? Or have you been too busy at work lately? After a pause, Wang Yaoqing couldn't help but speculate and asked.
Although for ordinary people, as long as they can develop a software with an annual income of tens of millions of dollars for anesthesia assistant, it is enough to be used for a lifetime, but Wang Yaoqing knows that for Zhao Heng, it is impossible to think about it with common sense.
"I can't talk about new projects, but we need to strengthen the work of stem cell cultivation and push it." Zhao Heng said slowly, after all, it is also the work to be done in the future, so there is nothing to hide with a partner like Wang Yaoqing.
"What does Dr. Zhao mean by strengthening? As far as I know, in the field of stem cell therapy in China, Dr. Zhao, your level and technology are already top-notch. Wang Yaoqing asked with some doubts, he knew that technological progress was not a cabbage, and he could have it if he could have it.
For example, it took several months to make data analysis software such as anesthesia assistant, which was made before and after, on the one hand, because Zhao Heng's ability to make a database is indeed very strong, and on the other hand, it is also because this is not the first one, and there is no progress in technology, but a kind of resource integration.
But for new technological advances to emerge in an area, this is not something that can be done in a short period of time.
"It's nothing, it's just a little bit of a new idea in terms of cultivating organs." Zhao Heng said.
"Huh? Dr. Zhao, do you mean that now organs can be cultivated? Wang Yaoqing looked at Zhao Heng with a shocked face and said, in his cognition, whether it is a liver transplant, a kidney transplant or a heart transplant that has already been done so far, this donor is from someone else.
Now that Zhao Heng suddenly told him that he could artificially cultivate organs, how could he not be shocked? Doesn't this mean that once this technology matures, no matter where the human body is, it can be changed as much as it wants?
"There is a little breakthrough in technology, but it is not as exaggerated as you think, first of all, organ cultivation takes time, so for those patients who need to do organ transplantation for sudden diseases, this organ cultivation may not work, and then in terms of cost, if you cultivate an organ for transplantation, at present, it is higher than the cost of the current transplant method." Seeing Wang Yaoqing's shocked look, Zhao Heng still explained a little and said.
"It's expensive, but it's also remarkable, and as far as I know, a lot of people die because they can't wait for a donor." Wang Yaoqing still said with admiration on his face.
There is no doubt that the cost of cultivating a human organ from scratch must be much higher than that of a ready-made transplant.
However, the application prospects of this technology are also quite broad.
"I also said that Dr. Zhao could take me if he had a new idea, but now it seems that with my current strength, this kind of project is not at all." Wang Yaoqing said with some regret.
A project like cultivating human organs with stem cells is casually an investment of hundreds of millions, and it is only the most basic part, with Wang Yaoqing's current net worth, it is difficult to participate.
But Wang Yaoqing thought about it, Zhao Heng's medical skills have been criticized to such a point, whether it is him or his family in the future, there is no need to worry too much about getting sick, this is also a good thing, isn't it.
"This technology cannot be commercialized on a large scale, and it can only be tried on a small scale, and it is only a technology accumulation at present." Zhao Heng said slowly.
Naturally, it is impossible to commercialize the technology of organ cultivation on a large scale, and once it is rolled out on a large scale, it will be necessary.
After all, there is now a section dedicated to stem cell cultivation in Dongfang Hospital, and this department is still the attending doctor of the previous pathology department, and now Qu Xiaofeng, deputy director of the stem cell cultivation center, is in charge.
As for the director of this stem cell cultivation center, because this center is very important, it is concurrently served by the dean Liu Shangming himself.
"Dr. Zhao, the progress of medical technology is really fast, if only one day, chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes could be cured." Wang Yaoqing said with some sighs.
Hearing Zhao Heng say this, he also sighed very much, the current medical technology has advanced to the extent that it can replace organs for the human body, so why do chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes still need to be taken for life, and they can't be cured at all.
"Doctor Zhao, the company is going to hold a cocktail party in two days, and the people invited are all the business contacts of various cooperative hospitals, I don't know if you have time to participate, and I will also introduce you to you." After a pause, Wang Yaoqing said again.
"Just for dinner?" Zhao Heng thought for a while and said, to be honest, a partner like Wang Yaoqing is still very worry-free, he will take all the details into account and reduce Zhao Heng's workload.
Therefore, since Wang Yaoqing proposed it, there was no need for Zhao Heng to refuse.
"That's right, just have dinner, and I'll send a car to pick you up when the time comes." Wang Yaoqing nodded.
"There's no need to send a car, you send me the time and place, and I'll go when the time comes." Zhao Heng thought for a while and said, since they are partners, they will all be on the same boat in the future, and they don't need to be too polite.
"That's fine." Wang Yaoqing happily responded. During this time, I contacted major hospitals, and the business personnel of major hospitals were actually very interested in Zhao Heng, after all, the order for this project was directly sent down from above, and without the relationship between Tongtian, it was impossible to do this kind of thing.
Wang Yaoqing and Zhao Heng chatted for a while and left happily. When the time came to half past twelve o'clock at noon, Zhao Heng and Xu Manni sat in the cafeteria for lunch together.
Xu Manni has been obviously busy recently, that is because the head nurse election is close at hand, and she needs to prepare a lot of things, although it is said that the victory is in hand, but the head nurse is always a member of the management of the hospital, so there are still a lot of related things.
In the past few days, at noon, Zhao Heng has eaten with Xu Manni in the cafeteria.
"I told my parents about the meeting last night." Zhao Heng raised his head and looked at Xu Manni, who was sitting opposite, looking a little tired, and said slowly.
"Hmm." Xu Manni nodded.
"What did uncle and aunt say, is there anything I need to prepare?" After a pause, Xu Manni asked again.
"There's nothing special to prepare, just find a time to meet and get to know each other." Seeing Xu Manni's somewhat tired appearance, Zhao Heng was also a little distressed, in fact, with Xu Manni's family background, there was no need to fight so hard at all.
But this is Xu Manni's career, Zhao Heng is not good at saying anything, besides, only if he is elected as the head nurse, his title will go up, and he will get better to find a teaching position in the university later, otherwise he will not meet the conditions.
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Xu Manni nodded.
