Chapter 430

"Thank you. It's my pleasure to hear your congratulations."

Zheng Jianguo replied with a smile. He didn't expect to see the leader of the royal society today, and he was the biggest one at first sight.

But think of Anna bringing the crown prince, so that even the ambassadors of several countries came. It's natural to think of Zheng Jianguo: "after all, I just did what I could do."

"I found Helicobacter pylori within my ability. Dr. Zheng, your statement will embarrass some doctors and biologists -"

Andrew still kept a gentle smile and said. Before Zheng Jianguo spoke, he continued to say, "I've heard about your PCR paper. Are you preparing for the human genome project previously proposed?"

"Oh, you see?"

When Zheng Jianguo blurted out in surprise, Andrew put away his smile and said positively, "I and some good friends agree with your view expressed at the cancer conference last year. Now, although scientists and doctors all over the world are making efforts to overcome cancer.

But as you said, these loose, fragmented and repetitive studies are wasting a lot of human and material resources as well as a lot of time, and the human genome project you proposed is different -- "

Of course, the human genome project is different. At present, compared with any doctor who passively studies the characteristics of various diseases, especially the lesions represented by tumors and cancer, this project is the first time that humans try to change the roles of both sides in the face of diseases and find out the cause of disease from the genetic level of humans.

Zheng Jianguo knows that if measured by this goal, the human genome project can finally be called a failure. In less than 20 years, mankind has cracked 3 billion base pairs in 25000 genes, but still has not found a way to solve cancer.

Of course, this result is also in Zheng Jianguo's view, which is also a side confirmation that human genes do not cause cancer genetic defects, otherwise the incidence rate of cancer will not be so low that all mankind will die out in a short time.

In addition, some information in memory shows that human cancer is not caused by genetic defects, but is closely related to living habits and environment in the process of postnatal growth.

Just like smoking, the incidence rate of lung cancer is 4 to 10 times higher than that of non-smokers. If lung cancer is heavy smokers, the incidence of lung cancer is 10 to 25 times higher than that of non-smokers.

Can this be caused by a genetic defect?

Of course, Zheng Jianguo has also seen that it's okay to smoke one or two packs of cigarettes a day until he is 80 or 90 years old. However, although he hasn't done research work in his previous life, he also knows that such extreme cases can't be used for reference and measurement. The differences in life and environment, and even people's spirit, are enough to make huge differences.

Fortunately, the reason why Zheng Jianguo started the human genome project at this time is not that he thinks he can do everything as a reborn person, but that he wants to use the great influence of this matter to pave the way to the Nobel Prize.

This is Zheng Jianguo's original real purpose!

At first, Zheng Jianguo found out cloning engineering and genetic engineering with reference to many messy memories in his mind.

These two projects are familiar terms that Zheng Jianguo heard in his last life, but they haven't even been mentioned at the moment.

Recently, I saw the word "cloning" because people have increased the market value of the company by an order of magnitude with the cloned insulin. It will have an IPO on Nasdaq next month!

As for genetic engineering, we haven't seen anyone put it forward, and this project involves the most cutting-edge technology for cancer treatment: "targeted drugs!"

It is said that when rich people in their previous lives treat cancer, they will choose this treatment method tailored for individuals. If it is successful, it can also make a lot of money for biological companies.

But at this time, there is no such plot in science fiction!

As for other things to make money, it is not Zheng Jianguo's purpose. Now what he lacks most is talents, especially those with a Nobel Prize winner's title on his forehead.

Zheng Jianguo has now won the Lasker prize, but the gold content of this award is not a little different from the Nobel Prize, but a whole level: a quarter of the people who get the Lasker prize will win the Nobel Prize within two years. Who can win the Nobel Prize?

Money, Zheng Jianguo has no idea now. When the oil contract price reaches $35, all that remains is to find a leader for the human genome project.

Of course, professionally speaking, Zheng Jianguo feels that the most suitable are the discoverer of DNA, Crick, the father of molecular biology, Watson, the leader, and Wilkins, who only wants to teach and educate people.

But the reality is that Watson is now the director of cold spring laboratory. Not to mention, the big man is still a determined white tooth opponent and the king of mouth gun. With absolute to clear-cut remarks, he succeeded from everyone admiring and falling down to everyone shouting and fighting. Finally, he had to sell all the Nobel medals in order to make a living, not to mention that he had a plan to lay out Africa, Just by virtue of this, he doesn't want to get involved with each other.

Crick, the father of molecular biology, did not know whether he felt that he had won the Nobel Prize and began to float, or whether he was old and should prepare for life and death. At the age of 60, he changed his research field to neuroscience and wanted to find out whether human beings have souls under the banner of "consciousness".

After 20 years of research, it is concluded that human thought and consciousness can actually be explained by the interaction of neurons in the brain. The straight point is that the human soul is hidden in the interaction of these neurons.

But the ability of the father of molecular biology is not boasted. Although 20 years of research did not find the soul, under his influence, he pushed forward neuroscience and brain science, and finally became a neuroscientist.

As for Wilkins, who only wanted to teach and educate people after receiving the Nobel Prize, Zheng Jianguo felt that his Nobel Prize Medal should be awarded to Ms. Rosalind Franklin.

Because the first diffraction picture of DNA was taken by Rosalind, and after she joined King's college, she accepted Wilkins's work: studying the chemical structure of DNA.

Just after Rosalind Franklin took X-ray diffraction photos of DNA and started a speech, Watson, who studied protein structure in Cambridge University not far away, that is, the Nobel Prize winner above, found another winner. Crick began to study the spiral pattern. Finally, after pulling in Wilkins who did not hand over his work according to the order of the college, The three successfully discovered the double helix structure of DNA.

However, although the three people successfully discovered the spiral structure of DNA, they attracted strong "criticism" from Rosalind Franklin after inviting her to visit. What is more treacherous is that such an amazing discovery did not attract the recognition of King's college. Needless to say, their research was stopped by Prague, who is in charge of the research room of the University, And asked the three to prohibit further research on DNA.

Although Zheng Jianguo did not have the opportunity to contact basic research in his previous life, the lessons of Professor Kong and nongshaoshan have not gone far in this life. Even if he thought with his fingers, he knew that the research of these three people must involve academic and moral issues.

In particular, from the so-called data, I saw that Wilkins privately took the research data to Watson, which is not directly related to him, but also related to the three Nobel laureates who have become the climate. Otherwise, he really had the courage to lift the lid.

But now for his Nobel Prize, Zheng Jianguo doesn't want to provoke others. After all, a guy provokes three Nobel Prize leaders in the field, unless he doesn't want to win the Nobel Prize.

Although Zheng Jianguo didn't want to come to the door when there was a shortage of people, he didn't want to pop up a blue blood aristocrat who was more prominent than the three academic aristocrats. He was moved: "I think if we crack all human genes, it will greatly increase people's understanding of diseases, And the research and development of various specific drugs. "

"Yes, the intention of this plan is very high. If it is successful, hundreds of millions of lives will be saved worldwide."

Andrew nodded slowly, but the smile on his face hesitated. It seemed that he hesitated. After the meeting, he said, "do you still have the idea to promote this plan?"

"To be honest, I don't have the idea to promote this plan now -"

When Zheng Jianguo spoke slowly, he showed a disappointed look from the faces of Andrew and the two people behind him, so when he muttered in his heart, he changed his mouth: "because I decided to announce the start of this plan at the Lasker Award Ceremony."

"You --"

Andrew's white cheeks suddenly burst into a flush. His blue eyes blinked and blinked at Zheng Jianguo. Where did he experience this kind of joke, immediately shook his head and said, "you decide to spend your own money to implement this plan?"

"Yes, sir Andrew, my mentor Ye minde is already preparing the preliminary work of this plan."

Without hesitation, he threw Ye minde out. After Zheng Jianguo said with a smile, he found Andrew's eyes brightened and showed concern, so he then said: "as for the capital, I decided to invest £ 50 million in advance as the start-up capital, and then rely on the income of the thermal circulator as the guarantee of this plan."

Andrew's face has changed. He knows that many researchers have lost all their money for their own research, and even put their monthly salary into the research. But these people do not include Asians, so he looked around and asked his two partners: "Dr. Zheng, are you willing to spend so much money for all mankind?"

"Sir Andrew, you may only see my identity as a doctor. In fact, I have another identity as a businessman. Now I have a biological company applying for FDA certification for drugs."

Zheng Jianguo smiled again, then put it away and said, "it is the dual identity of a doctor and a businessman that makes me realize the commercial value of these genetic codes after being cracked. How much profit can a new drug bring? If you think research costs money, look at the cost of disease. "

"Zheng, when I heard your plan, I felt that you could succeed."

Looking around again, Andrew raised his gray eyebrows and said that, not to mention his understanding of pharmaceutical enterprises as a biologist, he is a normal person. Everyone knows that pharmaceutical enterprises rely on pharmaceutical patents to survive and make money.

If Zheng Jianguo really completed the human genome project, other pharmaceutical companies can only close their doors in addition to spending a lot of money on patents: "you have made long-term preparations for the smooth implementation of this project."

"Yes, the commercial thermal circulator of PCR technology has applied for a patent. This thermal circulator can complete the amplification of hundreds of thousands of times of DNA or fragments in 2 to 3 hours. In the past, it was almost impossible to complete the amplification of millions of times."

It was found that what should be said was almost the same, but Zheng Jianguo didn't hear what he wanted, so he knew that he might be too anxious, so he turned to advertise his own thermal circulator, which confirmed his persuasion from the side: "I believe its benefits can support the implementation of the human genome project."

"Zheng, we also believe your judgment. I came here today because I received an invitation from the guest of Lasker Foundation. Therefore, when I learned that you were in Britain today, we suddenly came here."

A gentle smile appeared on his white cheek again. Andrew smiled faintly after he solved the mystery. He listened to Rudolph next to him with a full London accent and asked, "Dr. Zheng, will you put the laboratory in the human genome project in the United States?"

"The initial three laboratories will be located in the capital of the Republic, Boston, the United States of America and London, Britain."

He slowly opened his mouth and said that Zheng Jianguo's idea had not even been revealed by Ye minde. Of course, he said it only because he felt the other party's previous confession. Finally, he added: "just considering that I still have to continue to complete medical training, there is still a lack of host in this plan. I wonder if Sir Andrew is interested in considering it?"

"Well, I really need to think about it."

With a stunned look, Andrew put away the smile on his face, looked at Zheng Jianguo with a pair of eyes and said, holding the civilization stick in his hand and nodding his head, as if he were doing something to emphasize: "this thing is really too important."

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

Zheng Jianguo smiled again, and then felt that Andrew and Andrew were obviously relaxed, so after a few more words, they saw Camille appear next to them, and the three left with a smile.

Just before Camille opened his mouth, Zheng Jianguo was surrounded by a middle-aged man in cadre clothes. After scanning her eyes in the thick lens, he asked in Mandarin: "Jianguo, didn't you wait for the three of them?"
