As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 9 Computational Biology

《Tumor-Triggered Geometrical Shape Switch of Chimeric Peptide for Enhanced in Vivo Tumor Internalization and Photodynamic Therapy.》

Li Miaomiao asked Zheng Li to meet at the door of Laotu in Yingding, and put a stack of A4 papers printed in English in front of him.

"Here! I helped you find the professor of the School of Biology. This is his task. You have to understand this paper, and then there will be an interview."

"If you pass the interview, you can go there for an internship."

Zheng Li roughly scanned it: tumor-triggered geometric chimeric peptide switch, used for tumor chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy.

"The time and place of the interview."

Li Miaomiao explained a lot like a machine gun:

"Originally, after you finished the first semester of your freshman year, you would go to the professor of the School of Biology with your transcript. At most, they would ask you whether you have mastered the knowledge of biology in high school."

"My dad specially asked the professor of the School of Biology to take care of you more. This is a question that the professor deliberately made difficult for you."

"This paper was published last year in the Nano sub-journal of ACS by their School of Biology. It is completely embarrassing for you, a freshman in the Department of Mathematics."

"I helped you get a month's time. You only need to be able to translate the paper to a good degree, and understand the meaning of the nouns in it. There is no big problem."

"Of course, the ACS thesis is still very difficult for those who have not received thesis training. The cram school for seniors can be put on later. You can finish the interview first."

"Would you like me to buy you some more time?"

Zheng Li was looking down at the dissertation in his hand. This kind of dissertation was simply child's play for a mage who had received an orthodox academy education and was born in the direction of theoretical research.

The biggest difficulty is to make a one-to-one correspondence between nouns and nouns in the mage system.

Zheng Li said indifferently: "No, can it be next week, I only need one week, and the matter of holding a supplementary class for mathematics majors can be advanced at the same time."

"This trivial matter is not difficult for me. In addition, you can increase our share to [-]%, but you need to do some extra things."

"First of all, you need to find people who are willing to come to the class, and you need to collect which school they are applying for."

"In addition, you need to collect the real exam papers of the schools and related majors they applied for in the past ten years and give them to me."

Li Miaomiao was surprised by the other party's self-confidence: "This is the latest achievement of their biology department. If you can read it in a week, it is already at the average level of the second year of biology department."

Zheng Li patted her on the head: "A week is more than enough, remember to do what I told you."

Most mages live alone all year round, and most of them have psychological problems. They lack friends, and the things they study may only be understood by one or two people.

Therefore, many mages will keep a variety of pets to ensure that their humanity is not completely lost. Among them, a bird creature similar to a raven is especially loved by mages.

Li Miaomiao's twittering made Zheng ideally think of his own cuckoo bird.

Li Miaomiao brushed Zheng Li's hand away with concern on the surface: "Do you know that it is very impolite to move a girl's head casually!"

"Advanced time is totally fine, but don't blame me if you don't pass the interview in the end."

Zheng Li smiled: "Okay, you can contact me for me, I will go back first."

The reason why Li Xulin gave Zheng Li a test that was obviously beyond the level of ordinary interns was because when he asked his old friend Liu Gui from the Mathematical Academy, Liu Gui gave him a very high evaluation:

"Zheng Li? We are a freshman genius in the School of Mathematics. We have set up very difficult questions for the midterm exam of mathematical analysis, and he can get full marks in the exam."

"This is not only a good grasp of mathematical analysis, but more importantly, the sense of smell. This sense of smell needs countless times of training to develop."

"Ordinary people can't be trained by doing the questions tens of thousands of times. Some people can be trained by doing the questions tens of thousands of times, and some geniuses are born with it."

"Later, we increased the difficulty again on the last big question of the algebra midterm exam, and the other party still got it right."

"Such talented undergraduates from the Mathematics Department of Jiangcheng University can be traced back to Wei Juncheng 20 years ago."

Li Xulin's heart was awe-inspiring, and he raised his expectations for Zheng Li. You must know that Wei Juncheng gave a 45-minute report at the last International Conference of Mathematicians.

Only two mathematicians from Jiangcheng University had the honor to give a report at the main venue of the International Congress of Mathematicians, and Wei Juncheng was one of them.

A week later, Zheng Li walked into Li Xulin's office empty-handed, "Professor Li, hello!"

Originally, Li Miaomiao didn't want her father to interview Zheng Li directly, but Li Xulin insisted on meeting Zheng Li in person.

Zheng Li's first impression of him was not bad, he looked more handsome than when he was young, his walking posture and sitting posture were very standard, and his figure was surprisingly strong.

It's just that his temperament is a bit strange. Li Xulin likes to look at people's eyes to judge each other. What he feels from Zheng Li's eyes is detachment.

He felt that although Zheng Li was here, he was out of tune with the surrounding environment and had his own aura.

Li Xulin: "Hi student Zheng, since you want to come to the medical polymer materials laboratory of our School of Biology for an internship, you should have a certain understanding of us."

"Please briefly introduce yourself first, and then tell us about your understanding of computational biology."

"I heard that you are more interested in computational biology, which is also a cutting-edge direction in recent years. Before that, someone from your school went to UCSB to study for a Ph.D. in computational biology."

Zheng Li looked straight into each other's eyes:
"Professor Li, I am a freshman in the base class of the School of Mathematics. In the first semester of my freshman year, I have completed all the professional courses in the direction of basic mathematics at the university level."

"In the process of studying, I gradually found that I am very interested in biology. The reason why I want to choose computational biology is because computational biology can be better combined with my undergraduate studies."

"Whether it is R language or python language, I have a good grasp of it, and I also have a general grasp of data structures and algorithms in the computer direction."

"My personal understanding of computational biology is to analyze biological problems through mathematical models and quantitative analysis."

"In the earliest days of physics, experiment and theory were two aspects of physics research. After the birth of quantum mechanics, many phenomena could not be observed through experiments, and their existence could only be demonstrated theoretically."

"For example, dark matter, humans can prove its existence, but cannot observe it, let alone capture dark matter."

"Biology has always been plagued by experiments. You have to prove the correctness of the theory through experimental results. Computational biology is the direction that biologists hope to break through this dilemma."

"Solving biological problems through mathematical models and quantitative analysis."
