Back To The Age Of The 80s - Chapter 188
Zhao Depei finished speaking and stared at the reaction of the three. Seeing the three people were happy but not shocked, I couldn’t help but feel a very complicated feeling in my heart, old and old, this is the world of young people.
As for Dean Zhou, he couldn’t tell how he felt. Zhao Depei was not born in biology, but he was.
“Cell”, one of the three top international journals in biology, has only a handful of scholars in China who have published papers in such journals. Even the dean of his entire school of biology has no such experience.
Now, his three students actually did it.
In the morning, when he was passing by the guard, he happened to meet the postman coming to deliver the letter.
He heard the postman chatting with the doorman.
“It’s worthy of being one of China’s top universities. These letters are all different, all in English.”
“That’s, our professors, they are all at the international level, don’t speak English, just French, German, they will too!”
“Awesome.” The courier said, and took out three letters from the package, one of which fell on the ground accidentally, making loud noises.
Dean Zhou subconsciously looked to the ground. At this look, his eyes seemed to be stuck on it.
“Cell” editorial department? !
, He spelled it again and again, yes, it was “Cell”!
So Dean Zhou picked up the postal parcel not far away with “the thunder and thunder”. The postal parcel was already in his hands, and his excitement in his heart became even more heavy.
This shows what?
In general journals, there will be a rejection statement. How much weight can a piece of paper weigh? The posting instructions are also a piece of paper, but if the journal is in a timely manner, there will be sample journals that come with the posting instructions.
Although journals of the “cell” level generally have to wait for half a year after the submission of the manuscript, this will not happen. But the heavy mail parcel in front of Dean Zhou could clearly feel that it was an A4-size journal.
Prototype?
Dean Zhou’s heart couldn’t help beating quickly.
“Dean Zhou!” The door guard quickly got up and said hello.
The postman was shocked, the dean of Huaqing!
Dean Zhou smiled and nodded, but his eyes never left the parcel.
He is very familiar with these three names!
Those in the ninth laboratory!
Regarding the Human Genome Project, the entire biological circle in China was making a lot of noise, but was picked up by these three little guys. How could he have no impression.
Dean Zhou took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said: “These three are students in my college, I will help them to bring them there.”
The guard will naturally not refuse.
When Dean Zhou walked away, the postman said with emotion: “As expected of the Dean of Huaqing, he has no pretensions at all, and he helps the students get mail.”
The old doorman smiled with honor, “Yes, our dean is fine.”
After Dean Zhou got the parcel, he went straight to the principal’s office without even going to the office. After studying the three parcels with Zhao Depei for a while, he got the call Sun Bin received this time.
“It’s your parcel, so Dean Zhou and I didn’t open it either. There are scissors next to it. You can open it yourself.” Zhao Depei said.
That was what Sun Bin was waiting for. The three of them suddenly saw food, like people who had been hungry for several days, and rushed forward, each with a parcel.
There is only one pair of scissors, one has it, and the other two don’t have it.
But the other two didn’t mean to wait for the first person to use it up before opening the parcel. They pulled and pulled all three parcels apart.
The post-manufacturing description was regular, with the signature of the editor-in-chief of cell, and Sun Bin couldn’t help laughing out loud and gave a kiss at the editor’s signature!
Zhao Depei, who wanted to take a look at the draft explanation, froze in place, and then silently retracted it. He was drooling over the draft explanation.
It was Meng Jie who saw the thoughts of the principal and the dean, and after a smirk for a while, handed the notes of his draft to them.
The two hurriedly took it and looked at each word.
Lu Xueke was the first to discover the cover of the sample journal.
“Future Medical and Infinite Time Organ Storage Technology”
Cover! The cover is Professor Li and Infinite Time Organ Storage Technology!
Coupled with the in vitro organ regeneration technology last time, Li Zheng has been on the cover of two top international biological journals in succession.
Foreign media’s sense of scientific research is far superior to domestic media.
In vitro organ regeneration technology and infinite organ storage technology, two technologies under Li Zheng’s name were put together, and they quickly discovered Li Zheng’s layout for future medical care.
“Chinese scientists and future medical care.”
“Hua Guo is already at the forefront of international medical technology.”
“Tickets for future medical care have already appeared.”
The mainstream Swiss newspaper published the headline “Human Lifespan and Organ Technology”, which represented that Li Zheng’s medical technology officially entered the eyes of the Nobel Jury.
When the domestic media reacted and the blockbuster praises were spread out without money, Li Zheng also received a call from Ruiz.
“Lee, the first phase of the erlotinib trial is very smooth. The FDA has basically affirmed its role in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. This means that the method of targeting cancer cells is officially recognized! Congress has basically Let go, I think we can start the preparatory work.” Ruiz’s voice on the phone was full of joy.
A new cancer drug, a new cancer drug with a new idea, is enough to make Ruiz’s reputation reach a new peak, of course, together with Li Zheng.
Although he had expected this result a long time ago, when he heard the news, Li Zheng was still excited.
“That’s really great.” After all, he changed the medical history of the world, and the greatest research project in biology was launched 3 years earlier than his previous life under his impetus.
In October 1987, the U.S. Congress formally approved the launch of the Human Genome Project (HGP) and announced that his overall goal was: in 15 years, with an investment of 3 billion US dollars, to figure out the sequence of 3 billion human nucleotides, to At the end of 2002, the mystery of human genetic characteristics was completely solved.
After the United States, the European Community, Canada, the Soviet Union, Brazil, India, etc. have also put forward similar plans. The International Human Genome Organization (HUGO) was announced, and the Li Zheng laboratory and the ninth laboratory joined as independent organizations. HUGO.
For a time, Li Zheng’s reputation at home and abroad reached its peak.

“Lee, I have read your paper. In vitro regeneration technology and infinite organ storage technology are amazing.” Watson said.
He and Li Zheng sat face to face on the balcony. There were two cups on the small table in front of them, one cup with coffee and one cup with tea.
“These two technologies are not too esoteric academically.”
“But they outline the blueprint for future medical care. I am committed to researching genes and want to achieve gene therapy, but I have to admit that under the current medical level, your medical blueprint is more realistic.” Watson spread his hands.
Gene therapy, through editing genes, to perfect or even perfect the human body, this is the wish of all geneticists and even all biologists.
In Li Zheng’s previous life, this gene therapy basically completed the theoretical deduction, but there is still a long way to go from theory to practice.
“But Lee, I think you have to be mentally prepared.” Watson said here, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Li Zheng raised his eyebrows.
“for example?”
“Nobel, you know, I nominated you this year, and many of my friends. Erlotinib and your future medical care are both candidates, but I think if it wins, it will be the former.”
Hearing this news, Li Zheng found that he was not as excited as he had imagined. Xu is because he has stood at this height, and Nobel is nothing but icing on the cake for him.
He rubbed his chin, “Because of the Human Genome Project?” This is indeed a heavyweight cause that can affect Nobel.
Watson shrugged, “Perhaps, it’s also one of the reasons, but more importantly, your two technology owners are both Chinese, and for erlotinib, at least Ruiz, this For the Swiss, it is easier to accept.”
“Oh, don’t get me wrong, they also discriminate against us Americans, but they have been dealing with them for a long time, and their psychological tolerance for Americans to win awards is higher.”
Li Zheng was dumb. Although the reason here was absurd, it was really realistic. As Watson said, Europeans have a strong sense of psychological superiority. At the beginning of the Nobel Prize, those awards were almost all Europeans, until the United States gradually became stronger and became the world’s superpower.
Nobel really can’t ignore the worldwide influence of the United States in scientific research without a conscience. Only then have Americans won the Nobel Prize.
Yes, there are two. With the first American to win, it will be much easier later.
Li Zheng rubbed his chin, and the first Chinese won the prize, so it would be easier for those in the back. The corner of his mouth evokes a beautiful arc. The first Chinese to win the Nobel Prize? This title seems good.
However, regardless of whether the in vitro organ regeneration and infinite time storage technology can win the Nobel Prize, its scientific research and commercial value are not under any project. It can even be said that it is the most promising project currently at Li Zheng’s hand.
“Biotech company?” Liang Zhe’s right hand bends gently, tapping on the desktop.
“Yes, in vitro organ regeneration and unlimited time storage technology, the latter is already a mature technology that can immediately generate commercial value. There are already many pharmaceutical companies and even technology companies requesting cooperation. You know, technology and drug patents are different. It is more complicated.”
“The Li Zheng laboratory is no longer sufficient to meet the current needs, so I plan to set up a biological company to operate these two medical technologies.”
This is the result of Li Zheng’s long deliberation.
“It is feasible in theory. You can make a plan and let me see it.”
Li Zheng…
OK, you are an expert in business, you have the final say.
In the end, Liang Zhe himself made this plan. Zheng Lingling has already graduated. After graduation, she did not enter the family business but chose to stay in Li Zheng’s laboratory. After Zhenzhe Biology was established, she became the first to join.
After that, Li Zheng’s life became regular, working in the laboratory, going to class, and going home. The cooperation between Liang Zhe and Huang Youzhi is quite pleasant. The Liang family established a real estate branch in the mainland. Liang Zhe attaches great importance to this branch. Half of the year is spent in the mainland.
Time flew fast, three years passed in a flash.
In March 1990, Erlotinib was approved by the US FDA and was launched in the US. By the way, three years ago, Li Zheng did not win the Nobel Prize after all, perhaps because Li Zheng was too young to cause controversy, or erlotinib had not yet been listed, and the Nobel Prize jury did not recognize the FDA’s informal report.
Today, the listing of Erlotinib in the United States makes Li Zheng and Ruiz once again popular candidates for the Nobel Prize.
However, once expectations fell through, Li Zheng took it even lighter.
“Li Zheng, our own human genome project in China has been put on the agenda, according to the meaning of our old guys, how about you hosting it?” Old Tian said.
In the past three years, Tian Lao has grown a lot, his waist is not straight, but the spirit is still very strong, according to his old man, the younger he lives.
“Me?” Li Zheng looked at Tian Lao in surprise, “I am not an expert in genetics.”
Although in February every year, he goes to the island of Bermuda to discuss the human genome with experts from the 15 most influential human genetic characteristics research institutions in the world, but his research direction is application rather than elaboration, and the human genome project is the first Steps should be expounded.
Li Zheng knows the fact that he is not suitable to be the leader of this plan.
“But you are the only person in China to participate in the International Genome Project.” Speaking of this, Mr. Tian sighed. When various countries launched the Human Genome Project, China was delayed for two years due to funding reasons.
But two years later, when Hua Guo wanted to enter the venue, everyone stopped taking him to play.
According to various countries, we have done a lot of research in the past two years, and many gene sequences have been released. For this reason, we have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and you, if you haven’t done anything in two years, just want to participate. There are no doors.
China has made a lot of efforts to this end, but in terms of benefits, countries are absolutely unwilling to suffer.
Therefore, under the mediation of Li Zheng, an important promoter and participant of the International Human Genome Project, both sides took a step back. First, China must have enough scientific research results of the Human Genome Project. Second, if there is a need for data sharing, China Need to compensate the scientific research funds of the countries in the first two years.
Compared with the previous life, the amount of money opened by various countries in this life is much smaller, and it is still within the acceptable range of China.
The latter two conditions are easy to solve, and the former must be established in China’s Human Genome Project research team. After hearing this news, many biologists in China were so excited that they couldn’t sleep all night.
After waiting for three years, they finally waited.
“Don’t be humble. We all know that if it weren’t for you and your friends, they wouldn’t be able to let go so quickly. Look at the country next to us. We have been negotiating for two or three years. I don’t even bother to open the price, Li Zheng, your hosting is good for everyone.”
