Chapter 305

"Yang Rui, show me your pipette." When Tang returned to the laboratory, he remembered the words of light weapons and heavy weapons.

Yang Rui returned to the experimental state and said, "Xiao Sun, give your pipette to Professor Tang."

Sun Ruyue, a sophomore this year, is one grade higher than Yang Rui. At this time, he is called Xiao Sun, but he is just holding the pipette out.

Tang focused on carefully examining the pipette and asked for a moment, "how much is this pipette?"

"600 dollars." Sun Ruyue said, "imported from abroad."

"I see it." Tang Jianji stares at sun Ruyue and asks, "Yang Rui, did you buy this yourself?"

"It was bought by Jericho."

"It doesn't matter if you take it to our lab?"

"It must be taken back later. It's useless for the time being." Yang Rui is not going to provide equipment for Tang central laboratory. Anyway, Tang Jizhong's laboratory is also qualified to be selected as a national key laboratory. With millions of funds a year, it's nothing to buy several $600 pipettes. It's just a matter of whether he wants them or not.

On the one hand, Yang Rui's purchase of imported pipette at a high price is due to years of accumulated resentment, on the other hand, it is due to the requirement of PCR experiment. Of course, the most important thing is that he has abundant funds.

There is no such strong demand in Tang's concentration, so he tried a few pipettes and sighed: "OK, it's very good. It's expensive."

Sun Ruyue was disappointed and said, "we can't buy it."

"There are nine people in our lab, and it costs US $5400 to buy nine pipettes? If the evaluation team sees us spending money like this, it's time to talk. " Tang shook his head and said: "electrophoresis laboratory can't use such good equipment at present, Yang Rui can use his own, you still use the original equipment in the laboratory."

This time, even Wang Ying made a tragic cry. It's a very painful thing to use a good instrument and then use a bad one. The corresponding comparison can be new computer and old computer, intelligent machine and simulator. Most of the fun will be wasted.

However, the scientific research dog has no right to speak. Tang insisted that any howling is useless.

"I'll keep a pipette from tomorrow." Yang Rui understood what Tang Ji said.

Tang Zhong felt his head embarrassed and said: "it's not that I don't want you to use it. I'm afraid the evaluation team will find fault. After this period of time, it will be fine. All right, let's do our own business. "

After dispersing people, Tang Jianji talked about potassium channel protein with Yang Rui and said, "I must admit that I didn't pay attention to your recent experiment before, because you just published a paper. I thought that it would take two or three months for you to publish a second paper. I didn't expect that it would be so fast."

"The experiment went well, and I didn't finish it all, so I published my paper first." As long as Yang Rui has a periodical achievement, he will publish a paper, which is actually a normal practice. Unless it is a special way, such as PCR paper is a strange idea and simple way, otherwise, most of the laboratories will publish periodical results. For example, although the artificial insulin research in China was in the 1960s, the papers are still published abroad, and more than 20 papers have been published in succession, which is not easy.

"I think your paper has the words of electrophoresis Laboratory of Peking University. It's very good. Well, let Sun Ruyue follow you and give you a hand. You can also teach him experimental methods and some professional knowledge. " Tang Ji gave Yang Rui his youngest research dog.

Yang Rui publishes his papers in the name of electrophoresis laboratory. Although the first author is Yang Rui, Peking University and electrophoresis laboratory will undoubtedly shine, which means that the number of papers under the company has increased. Although one or two ordinary papers are of no importance to institutions like Peking University, one more paper is good for electrophoresis laboratories that are competing for national key laboratories.

Yang Rui thanks without hesitation. Now he really needs an experimental assistant. He can't even wash the bottles himself. It's a waste of time. Despite sun Ruyue's help before, after all, the name is not right and the words are not right.

"You come to me for any help in the next research." Tang then clapped his hands and said, "I said I would help you apply for school funds. In this way, I will help you fill out an application form tomorrow. You can also prepare to see if you can make a project. If you pass the application, there will be at least thousands of yuan. What do you think?"

"That's great." In addition to seeking privileges, Yang Rui entered Tang Jizhong's laboratory in order to obtain funds, reputation and corresponding convenience.

Before that, Yang Rui's funds were all paid by himself, and the external name was sponsored by Jielikang or Huarui company. As a patent project or a profitable pharmaceutical project, there is no problem in this way, but in the university laboratory, Yang Rui is doing basic projects, so it is a bit unfair to spend his own money.In the pharmaceutical industry, a new drug usually goes through at least three steps. First, some scholars have completed a basic research, such as potassium channel can affect arrhythmia. After learning about this research, researchers from biotechnology company will carry out the second step based on this research, develop or discover a potassium channel blocker to treat arrhythmia. This blocker can be a new synthetic compound or an existing compound. Finally, the third step is to extract or produce this existing compound, And carry out standard tests specified by various organizations.

The third step is the production of coenzyme Q10 by plant extraction method made by Yang Rui. The second step before coenzyme Q10 was completed in the early 1970s, and the first basic research was completed in the 1950s.

It takes 30 years for coenzyme Q10 to reach consumers.

Among the three steps, the third step is the key to profit, and it is also the most concentrated part of pharmaceutical companies. The second step is difficult to apply for patents, so only large pharmaceutical companies are involved in it, and they expect to take the first step.

Most of the research carried out by university laboratories is basic, that is, the first step. They spend a lot of money, but they don't necessarily know what they will do. Therefore, in addition to the super pharmaceutical companies, they often only carry out fund sponsorship rather than direct investment, and because it is pure basic research, there is no patent research, You can't patent potassium channels in cells, just as scientists can't patent newly discovered glaciers or organisms.

However, the force of one two three steps is just the opposite of profit. The third step that is the easiest to make a profit is the lowest one, and the first step that is difficult to make a profit is the highest one.

As far as the difficulty is concerned, it can also be said that the production of cancer drugs is the simplest, and what to use to produce cancer drugs is the most difficult part.

Most of the honors, such as the Nobel Prize, are awarded to the researchers of the first or second step, and few to the researchers of the third step.

At present, the funding of domestic laboratories is not much, but in fact, there are many laboratories across the country. In particular, the accumulated instruments and talents will only be more and more, and there are many advantages such as site, name and so on.

The next day, Yang Rui sorted out his resume, wrote the target of the project application and other elements, and then submitted the funding application under the guidance of Tang Jizhong.

Because it's an application for funds in the school, the staff in charge of accepting it is also the staff of the school office. After reading Yang Rui's application form, they put it in a special kraft paper bag and said, "the school is short of funds at present, and the funds for students are not much. You should have a psychological preparation."

"A thousand dollars is enough." Yang Rui is now doing potassium ion related experiments, thousands of pieces are certainly not enough. However, he is currently using the instruments of Tang's laboratory, and his expenditure is mainly on consumables, which are more or less supplementary.

Office staff is gently smile two voice: "think less is better, apply down, someone will inform you."

"All right." Yang Rui's psychological expectation was instantly lowered.

Tang Jianji comforted: "this is your first time to apply for a project. If you can approve it, as long as you have the results and pass the acceptance, the next application will be easy. What's more, you can also apply for the projects of Beijing and the state. Those are the major funds. "

"I understand." Yang Rui recalled that he ran projects with his tutor in his graduate years, thinking: although it's not the same, the essence is the same.
