Genius of the Rules-Style System

There are detailed experimental comparison data on the computer, with rows of data records, including many codes for blood components, enzymes, and proteins. A layman's scalp will definitely feel numb after reading it.

Zhao Yi read it with great interest, but in fact, he couldn't understand some of the code names.

Even the top medical research experts cannot know the code names of all substances, because there are too many substances. Some code names are simply sorted numbers. What they represent needs to be carefully checked.

Ai Lixin knew more, because in the experiments he participated in, part of the test data was generated by computers and part was input. He explained to Zhao Yi while watching, "There is still a big gap between the blood of children and the elderly. Yes, there are several normal cell content items which are normal differences.”

"The components in the blood are all the same and there are no detectable differences."

"What we focus on is the content of proteins and enzymes, especially trace amounts of proteins and enzymes, as well as some substances whose specific effects are unknown and only exist in code names——"

Ai Lixin pointed to the data on the computer and kept talking, "Next, we will select some substances that may affect aging and input them into the bodies of elderly mice for observation."

"If a certain protein or enzyme is injected into the body of old mice, the mice will appear significantly younger or extend their lifespan, and the experiment will have results."

Zhao Yi listened patiently and nodded.

The method mentioned by Ailixin is a conventional means of medical research. Conventional means always have a question, "How many should I choose? How long will the research take?"

"--this."

Ai Lixin was immediately stopped by the question and murmured, "Normally speaking, every protein or enzyme with uncertain efficacy, or substances that may be related to delaying aging, needs to be extracted and tested. There are probably hundreds of them. Plant it."

"If each one has to be extracted and tested, especially those substances that are very low in content and cannot be synthesized artificially, it will take a long, long time."

"So we just decided to select a few of them. Several of us discussed together that the C-region protein and E-region enzyme are very likely, so there are only dozens of them. It will take about two to five years to complete them all. Bar."

Zhao Yi fell silent after hearing this.

Two to five years?

This period of time is really too long!

Just extracting a part of the substances for research will take several years to complete. If there are no substances that directly interfere with aging, it will be a waste of time.

Zhao Yi sighed, "Medical research is really difficult."

"yes!"

Ai Lixin then sighed, “This kind of research sometimes depends on luck. If you are lucky, the first substance you choose may be directly related to aging. If you are not lucky, you may work hard for several years and get no results. "

"So we figured we didn't need to put all our energy into that."

"Actually, there are several international institutions doing this experiment, and the investment in the project is larger than ours."

"They haven't produced any research results yet, but they may suddenly produce results one day. It's not necessarily true. It's hard to say."

Zhao Yi pursed his lips hard and continued to stare at the data on the computer screen. "It's really difficult to do research. I understand you."

He looked at Ai Lixin and said, "It is normal to have no results in a short period of time. However, our laboratory is already the best in the country. If we have no research results for a long time, it will not sound good if we say it out."

Ai Lixin shook his head and said, "There is no way to do this. Medical research is like this. Maybe if you are lucky, you can achieve great results, but it is too complicated when it comes to the human body, especially issues related to aging—— "

But when Ai Lixin kept sighing, he saw Zhao Yi constantly sitting on small marks on the data list.

He did not continue talking, but stared carefully and found that Zhao Yi had made seven marks, and asked doubtfully, "Is this -?"

Zhao Yi said, "Didn't you say that you want to find several substances for extraction and research? I took a closer look and felt that these proteins and enzymes may be related to aging."

"ah?"

Ailixin took a closer look and found that the ones marked were proteins and enzymes with unclear functions. Six of the seven were simply sorting codes, and three were marked with 'very small amounts'.

How is this marked?

Is it just luck?

Ai Lixin really couldn't understand it, but he still reacted suddenly.

The recent research for a long time did not involve Zhao Yi's direct participation, and they did not produce results for a long time. He had forgotten what it was like to conduct research under Zhao Yi's guidance.

Now, it feels like it’s happening again!

yes!

For issues like this kind of data analysis, you must ask Zhao Yi to make the decision!

The decision made by Zhao Yi cannot be said to be completely correct, but at least it can lead in the right direction so that research will not be delayed for too long in a meaningless direction.

Ai Lixin suddenly became excited, quickly turned a few marks red, and then said, "Zhao Yi, I know what to do next."

As soon as the two of them finished talking about the data, they saw Zhang Wei coming out of the laboratory. When she saw Zhao Yi, she said with joy on her face, "I was in there just now, and I saw Xiao Liu making gestures, saying you are here, so quickly put down what you are doing." experiment of."

"Sister Zhang Wei!" Zhao Yi shouted out of habit.

Ai Lixin followed closely, "Zhang Wei, you finally came out. Let me tell you, Zhao Yi is here, everything is different."

"Of course." Zhang Wei nodded confidently.

Ai Lixin couldn't wait to talk about the data problem just now, and then invited Zhang Wei to discuss it together, "Zhao Yi circled these proteins and enzymes. What do you think is abnormal?"

"This, I can't understand!" Zhang Wei replied bluntly, and then continued to look at Zhao Yi. She wanted to say a few more words to Zhao Yi. She hadn't seen him for a long time, and she still missed him a little, but Ai Lixin kept pulling her away. I suddenly felt very depressed.

Fortunately, Zhao Yi is not just staying for a while, he will be at the university in the past few days.

Seeing the heated discussion between the two, Zhao Yi simply joined in and said, "Finding the proteins and enzymes that work is only the first step in research. It makes no sense for us to rush to get the results first. "

At this time, several people gathered around, including Li Ming, who had just come in, and other researchers and associate researchers.

Zhao Yi simply looked at everyone and said, "Our laboratory is the best in the country, and can even be said to be the best in the world."

"This is recognized even internationally because of our level and results."

"So for us, it doesn't make any sense to publish experimental results first. If other institutions conduct research faster and publish their results first, we don't have to take it to heart."

"What is most important to our laboratory? Actual results, results that can be invested in medicine and treatment, or results that are very meaningful to basic medicine, these are the most important."

"Going back to the question just now, for the current research, if we know that a certain protein or enzyme can directly play an anti-aging effect, then we must continue to study in depth to understand why these enzymes or proteins work and how they work in cells. What role does it play in the process of division, transformation and activity, and what part of the genetic code corresponds to their synthesis, etc.”

“These most in-depth contents are what we, as the ‘first’, need to study.”

"Why do you say this way!"

Zhao Yi looked at everyone and continued, "It's not about being number one, but looking at reality. Many institutions will compete to publish research results. Why? They need more influential results to increase the number of institutions and individuals. Only when you are famous and achieve enough results can you get more funds."

"What about us? Do we lack fame? Do we lack funding?"

"I think not."

"If anyone lacks funds or has any pressure on scientific research results, you can tell me and I will solve it for you directly."

He made a promise, "This is my laboratory. I hope that everyone, everyone, can do research patiently and do meaningful research, even if there is no result or nothing in the end, as long as the direction is not wrong, No problem.”

"Others, such as publishing more papers and rushing to publish results, no need, no need at all!"

Zhao Yi finished speaking in one breath.

This is his insight from his experience in scientific research. Research must be meaningful. For the entire laboratory, there is no shortage of fame and money, so there is no need to do meaningless research.

There are many low-level people in the scientific community who need to publish papers and obtain results to increase the persuasiveness of their resumes.

In fact, it was for ‘laymen’.

Zhao Yi's laboratory does not have this problem, because it has ample R\u0026D funds, and associate researchers can apply for funding as long as they have sufficient ability and have no problem with the application report.

As for the assistant researchers, that is, the lowest level interns, since they are not qualified to work on their own projects, there are naturally no corresponding problems.

This is the latest set of rules and regulations.

Now the entire medical center has this set of rules and regulations, mainly because with sufficient R\u0026D funding support, the rules can be specified more reasonably.

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, the people around him immediately applauded.

They do think it's well said.

Now the Medical Science Center and even Yanhua University are changing the rules and regulations related to research and development. They no longer judge heroes based on the number of papers. Only by giving researchers ample time can they produce great results. Otherwise, do some publishing papers. Purposive research is a complete waste of money and time.

——

Zhao Yi stayed at the university for several days, spending most of his time in his laboratory. He also paid attention to another important research, that is, research on leukemia.

Leukemia is a malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. Clonal leukemia cells proliferate and accumulate in large quantities in the bone marrow and other hematopoietic tissues due to mechanisms such as uncontrolled proliferation, differentiation disorders, and blocked apoptosis, and infiltrate other non-hematopoietic tissues and organs. Inhibit normal hematopoietic function.

Patients with leukemia can clinically experience varying degrees of anemia, bleeding, infection, fever, liver, spleen, lymph node enlargement, and bone pain.

Research on leukemia-related medical treatments mainly focuses on inhibiting the reproduction of clonal hematopoietic stem cells and white blood cells.

The research projects conducted by Zhao Yi's laboratory have no specific content.

Zhang Wei and Ai Lixin decided to do basic research, that is, the study of clonal hematopoietic stem cells; Li Ming and Zhu Qi worked together on cloning-related content, with the main focus being treatment methods.

Research in both directions is very meaningful.

This project is carried out together with cooperative medical laboratories, mainly hoping to find new treatments or develop new drugs.

Zhao Yi's laboratory also provided half of the funding, and the investment is expected to be around 20 million. However, the research has just begun and there are no specific results.

Regarding the research, Zhao Yi said, "There is no problem in both directions, but I think we should add a genetic direction, not to do genetic technology, but to study the genes of clonal cells."

"There should be relevant results internationally in this regard, but research on genes is far from comprehensive."

"In addition, our laboratory is actually weak in genetic research."

Everyone else nodded.

Not to mention Zhao Yi's laboratory, the entire medical science center has nothing to offer in terms of genetic research. The most important thing is genetic research, which is generally done by professional genetic centers and virus prevention centers. Ordinary medical research The organization is not professional.

Zhang Wei frowned slightly and asked, "If we are doing research in this area, we need to introduce a lot of new equipment."

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yidao, "The laboratory should have a lot of money, right? We can continue to increase investment in genetic research, and we can also cooperate with the Microbiology Center. I hope that in the future, our laboratory will also have a professional genetic laboratory."

Although it is just a simple sentence, the funds involved are definitely massive.

Others do not object, because the laboratory is indeed very rich. Just two patents such as Tianqing protein and inclusive cancer immunotherapy have brought a large amount of funds to the laboratory. Last year, the patent share was as high as 17 100 million.

Although patents have a validity period, for a laboratory, the funds of more than one billion a year can be said to be very large, and it is enough to use part of it to build a genetic laboratory.

After staying in the laboratory for a few days, Zhao Yi saw that it was almost time and went to the space agency's Mars Mission Center.

At this time, the Mars exploration mission has entered final preparations.

Zhao Yi arrived at the Mars Mission Center and first went to the astronaut training base.

This is the temporary base for the mission.

The astronauts involved in the mission have been at the training base for more than three months. As the mission is about to officially start, one of their jobs is to continue to familiarize themselves with the work process, and the other is to adjust their physical condition, hoping to put their bodies in order before the mission begins. Adjust the condition to the best.
