Chapter 333

"It's a good idea to understand potassium channels through cloning technology. Do you say cloning in rodents and human body? Is it a clonal cell? " Richard was thinking.

"Just clone a gene, by cloning a mutated gene fragment... You can also use RNA as a probe..." Yang Rui briefly described the prospect, and said: "this is my view on the future development trend of potassium channel..."

Richard thought while drinking tea. He asked Yang Rui to talk for a long time before he turned to Professor Wang, He said with a smile: "just now you said that he was still a student, right? Freshmen? You've made a good student

"Where, where." Professor Wang became modest.

Richard turned his head and said to Yang Rui, "you have a good idea. Have you started to write a thesis? Well, if you need help, you can bring it up. I know some people in several foundations and can solve some financial problems. "

Yang Rui was stunned. After thanking him, he said, "I'm not very ready to contact foreign foundations."

"Why?" Richard was surprised: "genes are often free. They are usually for the purpose of promoting scientific research. They are very similar to the scientific research funds of your country, but the funds come from abroad. You should not have psychological burden because of this."

Yang Rui frowned and thought: where is the foundation as good as you said.

Foreigner's foundation is usually very generous, but their conditions are often strange, such as obtaining a patent, such as working according to the requirements. If you use their money, you have to sign the corresponding contract. For example, there must be a scientific research team behind the whale shark raised by Bill Gates' family. It's much more difficult to raise a giant marine creature more than 10 meters in size at home than tropical fish in a fish tank.

It is conceivable that Bill Gates will use the foundation's money to pay for the research team, or to fund their research, even if it is just for tax avoidance.

For researchers, unfamiliar foundations have considerable risks, especially for early-stage entrepreneurs and researchers, without a strong team and a good lawyer behind them, when they encounter problems, they will be in great trouble.

Any early-stage entrepreneur or researcher may find it difficult to win a lawsuit against Bill Gates, especially when he donates all his money to the foundation and the foundation is completely under his control.

However, Yang Rui didn't refute Richard on the spot and said with a smile: "I heard some bad rumors. Moreover, I haven't determined the funds needed for the thesis..."

Richard laughed and said, "you don't need to know how much money you need. The point is how you get as much money as possible, right? You wait, I'll give you some business cards. You can contact them. "

Yang Rui's right eye jumped. He suddenly felt that he was talking too much. When he was not sure, he took advantage of Richard's departure and asked in Chinese: "Professor Wang, what do you think of my research direction? Have you ever read such literature? "

"It seems Richard likes it. Don't worry about right or wrong. Direction judgment can't say right or wrong. Maybe both roads are right, maybe both roads are wrong.

Wang Yong thought he was worried about Richard's next question, so he recalled it and said, "I didn't notice the papers about cloning and potassium channels. Where did you see them? Try to say what you know clearly and definitely. "

"I should have seen something similar and thought about it myself." Yang Rui recalled the dialogue just now and summed up the lesson to himself: when we talk about things that we are not sure of their age, we must be cautious in our words and deeds.

Richard came back and asked with a smile, "what are you talking about?"

"Yang Ruigang just asked me..."

Yang Rui interrupted Professor Wang and said, "I'm going to write a paper on cloning technology and potassium channel. I just asked Professor Wang if he had read any similar literature. If not, my paper will be sent out soon."

Richard was stunned for a moment and asked, "in such a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry. Since there is no previous research in this field, I think I can do it." Yang Rui's English is slow, but his meaning is very clear.

Richard handed out some business cards to Yang Rui and said, "this is a big project. It's better to find some foundations to support it."

"I'll think about it."

"Think about it."

"Yes."

After a pause, Richard held the tea again and said, "in fact, I have carefully considered your proposition of gene cloning and potassium channel, and I think it can be amended..."

"Mr. Richard, if you don't mind, I'd like to finish my thesis on my own." Yang Rui moved his butt and said no, which made the two professors stunned.He is really going to write a related paper. As a result, he is not prepared to discuss with Richard any more, lest ideas become common property.

Yang Rui is not sure whether he has said too much in advance. He has a lot of things in his head, but it is not comprehensive. However, he will not give them to others, let alone an American.

It is a very popular way to study potassium channel by gene cloning in the future, which is usually to clone the mutant gene of potassium channel in small organisms such as Drosophila, so as to fully understand the role of potassium channel.

It can be said that this method is a milestone in the study of potassium channel gene. Furthermore, any kind of ion channel can be studied in a similar way. Therefore, the combination of cloning technology and potassium channel research will bring revolutionary changes to the field of ion channel.

Gene cloning is not easy, but it is not as difficult as people think. Of course, the technology of cloning Dolly still has a certain technical threshold for 1984. However, the threshold for cloning only a few gene fragments and a mutant gene is not particularly high.

Although Yang Rui's current conditions are not enough to set foot in the period, it is good to write a thesis.

If this direction has been pointed out, there is not much significance in writing a similar cutting-edge article. At first, Yang Rui thought this was the case, so he said it without hesitation.

However, since none of the biology professors at the University of California, Berkeley has spied on this point, Yang Rui has the idea of taking care of himself.

This kind of changing technology is the paper that is most likely to earn influence factors. Generally speaking, only industry leaders can easily write such papers. If young people write them and are recognized by industry leaders, it often means that they are preparing for the status of industry leaders.

Other than that, Hula Hula's influence factors can make people fly.

Now, what Yang Rui needs most is influence factor and influence.

So, although he didn't write a word, he still said that he had a paper first to break Richard's thought.

Richard is also a very smart person. He belongs to the role of others who want to fart or poop. When he heard Yang Rui's words, his face changed and he said, "if you are worried about me plagiarizing your creativity, you don't need to worry at all. I have my own work to do. Professor Wang, if there is nothing else, I want to go back to work."

With that, Richard put down and stood up before he had finished his black tea.

Wang Yong has been silly.

After a while, Wang Yong could not understand their relationship.

However, Wang Yong still habitually made a move, repeatedly waved his hand and said: "no, no, Professor Richard... Young people are not sensible. Don't be angry. How dare he doubt you? This is normal academic exchange. He just uses wrong words."

The University of California, Berkeley is an excellent university. In terms of ranking, it should be in the top 50 in the world and the top 20 in the United States, much bigger than Peking University and Tsinghua University. Therefore, it is beneficial for Peking University to invite Professor Richard to China as a visiting scholar, no matter what the purpose of the latter is.

Because of his relationship with Richard, Professor Wang Yong has also shared some dividends beyond his own level, such as brand-new experimental equipment and super standard experimental funds. Even because the leaders of Peking University want to see a good side for foreign professors, Wang Yong has actually benefited. Therefore, he also pays great attention to maintaining the relationship with Richard.

Of course, Wang Yong will take Richard seriously even if there is no interest relationship, just to avoid losing face in front of foreigners.

Seeing Richard angry, Wang Yong can't help jumping and comforting Richard a little. He called Yang Rui again and said in Chinese: "they are all college students. Why are they still so naughty? I'm sorry to Professor Richard. Don't talk nonsense. Do you know what you don't have? "

Looking at Yang Rui's eyes, Wang Yong said angrily and worried: "Professor Richard is a visiting scholar that the Dean attaches great importance to. Now we are the facade of Peking University. What's the advantage of making Professor Richard angry? Let others tell you, you are not too much to take. Why are you so ignorant? You are called here to give you a chance, not to make trouble. What are you thinking about... "

Yang Rui pretended to be repentant and said, "you can't have the heart of harming others, you can't have the heart of defending others, right? If he is angry, he will be angry. I can apologize, but I can't give him my things. "

Wang Yong was angry and funny, and said, "you know people will be angry and say that. What kind of creativity do you need from a professor at the University of California, Berkeley? It can't be said that we haven't heard of this idea, so no one has done research, right? Maybe it's a dead end? All in all, you can't guess that people have sinister intentions with just a few words. Isn't this nonsense, just making people laugh? ""But he didn't laugh." Yang Rui is also using Chinese, fast and serious way: "like you said, I am such a young student, what is wrong, should have been a laugh, so serious? Is Professor Richard in your mind such a person? "

Wang Yong was a little stunned.
