Chapter 170：

An experiment record from a Chinese?

They did not remember that China had any research on human genes. Du Burke stated in the manifesto that the whole world should unite, and humans should carry out this plan with the courage to conquer the universe, and this plan should become an international project. .

Rao is so, these people do not include China in their international concept.

They didn't mean it. Scientists don't care about politics and only care about strength, and they don't think that Chinese scholars are capable of helping them in this plan.

Otherwise, even if governments are unwilling, these world-class treasures will never allow politics to hinder their scientific career.

There was a murmur in the lecture hall, and Berg raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

He leaned forward slightly so that his voice could be better received by the microphone, "Li, my friend, are you interested in personally explaining the small problems you encountered in your experiment?"

Li Zheng sits at the back of the lecture hall. Although foreigners do not have a tradition of ranking seniority, the principle of respect for strength applies everywhere in the world.

The ranking of the lecture hall is almost based on the status of the scholars in the world. Occasionally, XX has a good relationship with XX, or has a cooperative relationship, and they are ranked together, and Li Zheng is a rising younger generation in recent years. , The seat will naturally not be forward. Just because of the United Nations' annual most influential creature and the Doman incident the previous year, it barely ranked last.

The lecture hall in Cold Spring Harbor is very modern, for example, each seat is equipped with a small microphone. If Li Zheng is really an eighteen-year-old boy, he may not be able to resist the temptation to show opportunities in front of the top leaders of the biological pyramid, but he is a 30-something soul in his body, and he knows the huge gap between himself and Berg Some words are still spoken from Berg, which is more convincing.

"Mr. Berg, you know the current status of genetic research in various countries better than I do. No one is more suitable for this work than you." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Fluent English brings the unique warmth of Orientals when speaking, which makes people feel good.

"Li...zheng, isn't he from Xiangjiang?"

"I heard that I am of Chinese nationality, but I have always lived in Xiangjiang. I only returned to China last year to teach.

"What an amazing young man."

At this point, Li Zheng was truly accepted as a member of the top of the current biological pyramid.

Berg chuckled, and he stopped declining, but with a solemn expression, he began to explain Li Zheng's unfinished experiment.

The best biologists from all over the world gather to listen to an experiment that is less than 40% complete. For these scientists, this is a very unique experience.

However, there was no light on their faces, because as the slides turned page by page, they quickly realized the significance behind this experiment.

This experiment concretized the role of genes in humans' fight against diseases.

It's like a strategic game. They stand at the three forks in the game. After a long dispute, they have a long time to determine which way to go, but they are not sure what is behind this road.

And now, a semi-finished game strategy appeared in front of them, yes, it is only a semi-finished product, but for these scientists, this is enough!

They saw the future of the genetic project through this unfinished experimental project.

"Oh, targeting to suppress the mutated gene, thereby destroying cancer cells! This is an absolutely bold idea, but I have to admit that it is theoretically feasible. Taking this experiment as the object of non-small cell lung cancer As an example, as long as you find the mutated gene and determine the target, you can complete this experiment!"

"This is a new direction in the fight against tumors! Oh, I'm so excited!" The speaker is an authoritative anti-tumor biologist in the United States. He has more than once stated in public that he must pay attention to understanding the important role of the human genome in fighting cancer. And it has been proposed to kill cancer cells by inhibiting mutant genes.

But he was still only at the stage of imagination and theoretical demonstration, and the experimental record before him truly proved that his idea was feasible, which made the old scientist tremble with excitement.

He got up from his seat, walked back quickly, and walked to Li Zheng's side.

"Mr. Li, I know that such a request is a bit abrupt, but can I participate in your next experiment? Completing the entire Human Genome Project is a major project that requires the participation of all human beings, but if it is only for non-small cell lung cancer , It will be much easier. One year, maybe six months, the history of human beings against cancer will be rewritten."

With the deepening of human understanding of cancer, everyone also understands the same type of cancer. Because of different pathologies, it must be divided into different types. The cancer drug market has always been oversupply. In this era, the most effective way to fight cancer is chemotherapy. It is an undifferentiated treatment method, applicable to all cancer types.

But at the same time, the side effects of chemotherapy are not acceptable to everyone. Internationally, there is no objection to the need for chemotherapy for cancer treatment, but the debate about the number of chemotherapy has never stopped. In the end, biologists and medical scientists have concluded through countless experiments that the combination of chemotherapy and drugs is the treatment method with the least harm to the human body. .

This presents a problem. Not all types of cancer are curable, such as squamous epithelial cancer cells. No medicine was effective for it in the 1980s.

Patients suffering from this type of lung cancer can only be treated with chemotherapy, and then they are resigned.

The emergence of targeted drugs will change this situation. As long as the target is found, the production of the corresponding drug becomes a matter of time.

This Professor Ruiz is a leader in lung cancer research globally. He is confident that the integration and sharing of experimental resources between him and Li Zheng can promote the market for this targeted non-small cell lung cancer drug!

Seeing Professor Ruiz walking in front of him, Li Zheng immediately stood up. Of course he knew the cancer authority in front of him. In Li Zheng's previous life, Professor Ruiz gave birth to two types of lung cancer. These two anti-cancer drugs have become essential drugs in the international anti-cancer manual to fight lung cancer.

This project was made by Li Zheng to persuade Watson to involve himself in the Human Genome Project, but seeing Professor Ruiz’s hopeful gaze, he was suddenly a little ashamed.

The Human Genome Project is indeed great, and participation in it is the dream of almost every biologist. Just like an astronaut, if he were to go back to the era when the Apollo project was launched, wouldn't he want to participate in it?

just……

Li Zheng took a deep breath and tried to calm down the excitement he had caused by participating in the Human Genome Project. Yes, he was taken over by this great project and forgot what he should do most as a biopharmaceutical person.

He almost forgot what he did in his previous life for giving up life science and returning to China to join the pharmaceutical industry.

"Of course, if Professor Ruiz can get involved, I believe this drug will appear in everyone soon." Li Zheng said calmly.

Ruiz’s face showed a big smile, “This is great, Lee, I have a laboratory in New York, or we will pass now, I already have a lot of inspiration in my mind, I can’t wait to He put it into reality."

"I think my dream will come true soon. An unprecedented anti-cancer drug. In fact, I have some research on lung cancer mutation genes. Your ideas and my experimental data are really the most wonderful combination in the world. Now." Ruiz took Li Zheng's hand, and was about to pull him out.

Berg and Gilbert on the stage looked at each other, this... just left?

This meeting has only just begun, and before they have had time to discuss the plans and arrangements for future genome research after the official launch, the two people just left.

"Professor Lee, Ruiz." Berg coughed and couldn't help but said, "Our meeting is not over yet."

Everyone in the laboratory couldn't help turning their heads to look at these two people who had already stood up.

Ruiz turned around when he heard the words and spread his hands. "Borg, I believe you will arrange the plan. Remember to forget to arrange the part between me and Li. I think I have more important things now, oh no, yes. Do something more urgent. You don’t want the first targeted drug. Yes, you need a targeted drug. You don’t want it to be available as soon as possible."

The laboratory suddenly became noisy. The geneticists felt that Ruiz and Lee were too small. In their view, the genome project was a scientific journey to explore the mysteries of human beings and understand the human body. Struggling with a mutant gene, I really picked up the watermelon and lost the sesame.

But biologists who are biased towards pragmatism don’t think so. Governments of various countries strongly support their research to understand the mystery of the human body. Yes, there are some factors in this respect. Only when you understand the mystery of the human body can you use it and talent Optimize genes.

As beings at the top of the world's biology, how can they not know the human body optimization program in the government’s mysterious laboratories, the super soldier, this is not just a fantasy in American movies, after humans have recognized genes and have the means to optimize them, The things in these movies are completely achievable.

However, where the government's money to fund scientific research comes from, it is the taxpayer's. Ordinary people don't care about your super fighter plan. They only care about their own interests.

medicine! Anticancer drugs! This is the only reason why governments of various countries persuade the people to give out the money.

Everyone present had a hunch that if the two people in front of them are really the first targeted drugs to come out, governments of all countries will rush to invest in this plan.
