Chapter 433： [Genius Biologist Yang Ning]

Everyone who has been involved in medicine has heard of the "Lancet" journal, not to mention studying medicine, even some patients who have been sick for a long time have heard of it, even consulted the above article, or have read Translations and reviews.

This time, Luo Sheng's Life Science Fund announced that it would spend huge sums of money to build 11 top-level research centers or laboratories around the world. Four of them are focused on the frontiers of the medical field, and an additional top-level p4 laboratory is included. .

No wonder the Lancet will pay so much attention, because the Life Science Fund is so rich, the huge $ 18 billion is used in the field of life sciences, and even such a large amount of funds is not so great. Much money hit a field.

Natural sciences and life sciences are very different. Life sciences are part of the natural sciences, but natural sciences involve basic research in physics, chemistry, new materials, and other fields. From this we can see that the funds allocated to the life sciences sector are also stretched. .

However, all the funds of Luo Sheng's life science fund are only focused on one field. So much money is thrown down, and the entire academic community is not sensational but abnormal.

Burning money for scientific research and burning for research in frontier fields is even more expensive. A top-level laboratory often costs hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, and the transformation of commercial results is not ideal, so capital is rarely interested in this, basically all countries Appropriation.

However, there are too many places for national fiscal expenditure. Many studies have been forced to stay on the paper because of insufficient funding. This is where many research scholars are helpless.

The Life Science Fund announced the establishment of 11 R & D centers, and half of them did not know exactly what specific research they should focus on. This made scientists at home and abroad engaged in the field of life sciences enthusiastically, and all wanted to win life. The Science Foundation supports their research.

...

Capital, Tsinghua University.

"Teacher, what do you want me to do?" A young intellectual beauty entered Shi Yigong's office. Her name was Yang Ning. A 30-year-old female genius became the youngest female blogger in Qinghua University and the most domestic in China. One of the outstanding biologists is Professor Shi Yigong's most proud female disciple.

Yang Ning, known as the "academy goddess", has a keen eye in the field of biology, and has now begun to emerge internationally.

Shi Yigong let go of the job at hand and smiled at his most proud female disciple: "Xiao Ning, do you know what Luo Sheng, the world's richest man, has set up a life science fund recently?"

Yang Ning: "I know, it has caused a sensation in the academic world."

Shi Yigong couldn't help laughing: "Everyone like you who stays in the laboratory all day long for research knows that it seems that the response is really huge in the industry."

Yang Ning looked at his teacher puzzled: "What does this have to do with you calling me?"

On hearing that, Shi Yigong took out two letters from the desk drawer and pushed them in the direction of Yang Ning, who stared curiously at the two letters on the table: "What is this?"

Shi Yigong laughed: "This first letter was a letter from Luo Sheng written to me. It was a kind of letter of honour. On behalf of his life science fund, I asked me to take the post of director of a world-leading structural biochemical laboratory , Just landed in Shencheng, a large-scale comprehensive laboratory with a budget of up to 700 million yuan and a total budget of 2.5 billion yuan. "

This laboratory focuses on three major issues in the industry: 1) the formation mechanism of cyanobacteria blooms and their intervention strategies; 2) the pathogenic mechanism of Streptococcus pneumoniae; and 3) the working mechanism of ab transporters. The laboratory's theoretical system and its methodology include, but are not limited to, biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology, microbiology, biophysics, and cell biology.

Yang Ning's eyes could not help but shine a bright look: "It's really rich ... Teacher, did you agree?"

Shi Yigong shook his head, and immediately reached out and clicked the second letter on the table: "This is a letter of recommendation I wrote to you, and I decided to recommend you to Luo Sheng as the director of Shencheng's Structural Biochemistry Laboratory Post. "

Yang Ning heard this unexpectedly, but she refused without thinking, saying, "Teacher, I don't have the ability and qualifications to manage such a huge laboratory. Take up my research time and energy. I am a scientist, not a manager, I just want to be a pure research scholar. "

Yang Ning refused very simply, almost without hesitation.

Regarding Yang Ning's decisive refusal, Shi Yigong was not surprised at all, but said, "Xiao Ning, you are wrong. Your going will not only prevent you from achieving greater achievements, but will provide you with an unprecedented and broad stage. . The laboratory's technology platform includes analysis and crystallization systems; microbial genetic operating systems; cell culture and analysis sorting systems, enzyme research systems, etc. "

Shi Yigong added: "In addition, there are many imported large-scale large-scale equipment and equipment platforms, and some even high-end large-scale equipment and equipment not available in the College of Life Sciences and National Microscale Science Research Center, and I don't know how Luo Sheng convinced foreigners. "

It is worth mentioning that Luo Sheng's Life Science Fund has not only received real financial support from super rich or rich families around the world, but also provided strong support on scientific equipment.

You need to know the name of each super-rich or rich family. It represents more than just having a huge amount of wealth. Once they are solved, many problems can be solved smoothly.

Yang Ning asked inexplicably, "Teacher, why don't you want me to go instead?"

Shi Yigong laughed: "I ca n’t wait to see a good nest and I ca n’t bear it. I have to give way to these young people. You are excellent. I believe you can get world-renowned attention in the field of structural biology. Achievement, so I hope you go. But you have to understand a truth. If you want to really achieve results, you ca n’t just focus on research. Otherwise, you ca n’t get even a scientific research project funding. How can you research? There are many reasons. As everyone knows, I don't say much. You can take the position of the director of the laboratory, and you will have great power to decide your research direction. "

After seeing her teacher's solemn tone and serious look, Yang Ning hesitated for a while, because Shi Yigong said all right, and also thanked the mentor who knew her well. This time I highly recommend one A wider stage ...

After a while she still hesitated and said, "But the size of this lab is too huge, I ..."

Shi Yigong laughed: "You do n’t have to worry about it, you do n’t have to spend too much energy on management. The real de facto manager of this laboratory is the Life Science Fund. Strictly speaking, this is a privately funded laboratory. But you have the right to speak as the director, and your voice will play a pivotal role in it. At least you have a lot of autonomy in what you want to do. "

According to Shi Yigong, Yang Ning gradually became tempted. I am afraid that few scientists are unmotivated by the autonomy and sufficient research funding.

"Teacher, will Luo Sheng agree?" Yang Ning said suddenly. Although she was very talented in the field of structural biology, she was too young after all, and people had originally asked Shi Yigong to head.

"Send this letter to see the situation, I got to know some, Luo Sheng has always dared to use the young and young faction as the head, you still have a lot of competitiveness." Shi Yigong said Shen Sheng, although he said In the recommendation letter, he quickly praised his disciples to the rhythm of the sky and sponsored in his own name, but he was not completely sure.

After a while, Shi Yigong added: "But even if you are not in this director position, I still recommend that you go. The laboratory is backed by a large master of money, at least the amount and speed of your funding for scientific research projects must be Bigger and more efficient than it is now. "

Regarding this, Shi Yigong has full self-confidence. As a letter of recommendation written by the authority in the field of structural biology, it is quite significant. As long as the laboratory manager's brain is not convulsed, it is definitely a warm welcome. .

Conversely ~ www.novelhall.com ~ If it is rejected, it is also a good thing, which shows that it is not as expected as expected.

After speaking, Shi Yigong picked up the written recommendation letter and handed it to Yang Ning, who nodded with the letter: "Thank you teacher, I'll go to the laboratory without any other business."

Shi Yigong shook his head and said, "Don't study it anymore, let's put the work on hold for the time being. Let's take this letter to go to Su Cheng and meet with Luo Sheng first, and then talk about our future."

Yang Ning: "Well then, I listen to the teacher, let's prepare."

Shi Yigong nodded and smiled, "Go."

Luo Sheng's letter was sent a few days ago, and Shi Yigong was also worried that he did not respond for too long. Not only was it impolite, he might be occupied by others at that time, but he would also give a bad impression of being a proud person, no matter what. Have to respond as soon as possible.

After all, this is the world's richest man's letter.
