Back To The Age Of The '80s

The news that Berger and Gilbert hosted an expert meeting on the "Human Genome Project" in Cold Spring Harbor reached China a week later.

The domestic biology circle exploded at once.

"The Human Genome Project is an international project! It is a project for all mankind! China is a huge country with a population accounting for one-fifth of the world's population. How can we not participate in this project!"

"The United States has publicly stated that it will include this plan in its national budget next year. France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and other countries have also indicated that they will participate in this plan. We, China, cannot fall behind."

"Yes, Japan is involved. This is not only about people's livelihood, but also genetic optimization. This is a national cause!"

"But they don't intend to invite us Huaguo to participate. What's the use of complaining here!"

Since getting the news of the expert meeting held in Cold Spring Harbor, the top group of people in Huaguo biology have gathered for a meeting more than once, and even many first-generation biologists in Huaguo who have retired early are trembling on crutches come to the meeting.

"Mr. Tian has already reported this issue to the central government, and the official has also expressed to the US side through the ambassador to the US that we want to participate, but the US side has been evading it."

"What about people-to-people relations! Old Wang, haven't you been to Cold Spring Harbor to attend a meeting before? Can you get in touch with Mr. Watson?" someone asked.

The biologist known as Lao Wang smiled wryly and shook his head, "I just went to Cold Spring Harbor to attend an international conference on tumors, although Mr. Watson presided over the conference, but how can I get in touch with him. "

"What about you, Xiao Zhang? Didn't you graduate from the University of Chicago? I heard that you were an intern at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory after graduation?" Because of his internship experience in Cold Spring Harbor, this professor Zhang escaped as an associate professor as soon as he returned to China, and was directly arrested. awarded the title of professor.

"I was able to do an internship in Cold Spring Harbor because Mr. Watson is an alumnus of the University of Chicago. The University of Chicago has several internship places in Cold Spring Harbor every year. I have been an intern at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for a year, but I have never seen Watson. Meet Mr. Sen!" Professor Zhang said with a wry smile.

The scene suddenly fell into silence. At this moment, someone suddenly asked: "Professor Chen, can your Professor Li from Huaqing contact the American side?"

The Professor Li mentioned by this population is naturally Li Zheng.

When Chen Anbang heard the words, he couldn't help showing a helpless look on his face, "Professor Li asked for leave to go abroad after the establishment ceremony of the Huaqing Award."

"Going abroad? Going abroad at this time?! We usually hold foreigners' thighs to pretend to be powerful. This is going to use him, so he went abroad. What a coincidence." The speaker was an associate professor in his early thirties.

He is considered young and promising to be hired as an associate professor at this age, but it is obvious that his character does not match his title.

"Chen Zhibin!" An old professor shouted, with a very ugly expression on his face.

Although everyone didn't speak out to reprimand, they glanced at the associate professor who was said to be a returnee, and there was a faint disdain in their eyes.

Li Zheng is a bit high-profile, but he has high-profile capital. Many professors here have listened to Li Zheng's class and benefited a lot from Li Zheng's guide. In favor of Li Zheng.

"Can't get in touch?"

"I couldn't get in touch a week ago." Chen Anbang shook his head.

Zhao Depei is also looking for Li Zheng. Li Zheng has already owed several classes this year. Zhao Depei promised Li Zheng that he will be transferred to an associate professor after one year, but this kind of absenteeism rate cannot be raised by the school committee. I am ashamed to mention this matter, Principal Zhao is also in a hurry.

The crowd was silent again.

In the entire meeting room, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.

Mr. Tian tapped the ground hard with his crutches, "Human Genome Project, we Huaguo must participate in it. Gene optimization is a major event for a nation! We must not lag behind!" Age spots could be clearly seen on the face, but what he said was so loud that people didn't even have the courage to refute.

"Old Sun, let's go see the old chief again. Xiao Chen, try your best to contact Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Professor Watson, and express our sincerity to them."

"Okay, Mr. Tian."

"Okay, Mr. Tian." Everyone responded one after another.

Seeing the last person walk out of the meeting room, Elder Tian tremblingly stood up from his seat, "It would be a shame if Huaguo, which accounts for one-fifth of the population, cannot participate in this genome project for all mankind."

Elder Tian's voice was very soft, but it clearly reached the ears of Chen Anbang who had just stepped out of the door. His whole body was shaken, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Go back and contact Li Zheng as soon as possible, he will definitely be able to contact Mr. Watson.

At this time, Li Zheng, who was missed by a kind of biologists in Huaguo, had entered the working state as early as a week ago.

Ruiz helped him find two assistants. When Li Zheng saw these two, the corners of his mouth twitched. These two assistants were around 40 years old, one was fat and the other was thin, and they were always smiling. Hehe.

Their names are Edel Pierce and Kaimeno Denussen, one is a professor of biology at New York University, and the other is an honorary member of the American Association for Cancer Research. Although the two are not as good as Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory The [-]th in the world, but it is also one of the best in the international biological circle.

They are Li Zhenglai's assistants?Li Zheng cast doubtful eyes on Ruiz.

Ruiz waved his hand, "Don't look at me, they came here by themselves." Ruiz's preferred assistant is his student, who is also a professor of biology at New York University, well, an associate professor. The principle of Liuwairentian wants to let his students participate in this great experiment.

But before he hung up the phone, the two men came to the door.

The two didn't mean to be polite at all, and directly expressed their wishes to Ruiz.

"Professor Pierce, Professor Denuson, you should know that the collaborators of the project can only be me and Professor Li, and no third person can intervene. If you want to participate in the experiment, you must be the assistant of one of them. It's just an assistant," Ruiz emphasized.

Pierce and Denussen looked at each other, smiled, without any surprise on their faces, "Yes, didn't you just say that Professor Li Zheng lacked two assistants? We think we are just right."

Pierce and Denussen are well-known network kings in the international biological circle. Although they are not qualified to participate in the expert meeting in Cold Spring Harbor, they are always paying attention to the dynamics of the meeting. The friend's sentence, "If I were a few years younger, I might really put my face down to participate in this experiment, and it would be cheaper for that old boy Ruiz" suddenly penetrated into the ears of the two.

He can't let go, they can do it.

Li Zheng is qualified to attend the Cold Spring Harbor Conference, which means that his international academic status is already higher than them, so there is no shame in them going to be assistants.Pierce and Denussen convinced themselves so.

The two made an appointment to come to Ruiz's laboratory to block people. No, as soon as they arrived at the door of Ruiz's office, they heard that the old boy wanted to use his disciples for this experiment.

So the two immediately opened the door and walked in, recommending themselves!

That's right, recommend yourself!With the two of them in front of him, it's no wonder that Ruiz had the nerve to mention his associate professor's student!

The corners of Li Zheng's mouth twitched again, "Professor Pierce, Professor Denuson, please don't take offense if I am impolite in the experiment." What else can he do, people have to bow their heads under the eaves , After all, it is someone else's laboratory.

Pierce and Denussen grinned wide, "Professor Li, you are welcome. We are your assistants. We know this position very well." The two smiled and looked at Li Zheng as if they were looking at a gold ingot.

That's right, Jin Yuanbao, that's what Li Zheng thinks.

"Okay, let's... let's get started."

Ruiz nodded, "Jenny, find the genetic data of non-small cell lung cancer. Edward, the clinical data of dointinib, re-analyze the genetic screening for the poor prognosis. Charlie is on call."

Li Zheng also put all other thoughts behind him, "Professor Pierce, this is a dynamic model of non-small cell lung cancer gene mutations that I built with a computer. It has 81 possible mutations. Possibly a mutant form."

"Professor Denuson, I think we need to make preparations to find the target first. After Professor Ruiz and Professor Pierce find out the mutant gene, we will start looking for the target."

"Okay, Professor Li." The two replied in unison.

Several people quickly got into work. During the work period, Li Zheng's eating, drinking, and messing up were all handled in the laboratory, and he didn't even step out of the laboratory. This made it impossible for people in Huaguo to contact him.

During their experiments, a researcher named Henderson came in to deliver materials. He was the young man who said "welcome" to Li Zheng.

When he knew that Li Zheng was not their new colleague, but a collaborator of Professor Ruiz, and that even Professor Pierce and Denuson would be his assistants, he was completely dazed.

He compared Li Zheng's height, and at his chin, Henderson suddenly had a feeling that his food for so many years was only used to grow taller?
