Science on the Rise: Starting with Cell Editors

　　But chimpanzees are not so easy to obtain, especially Lu Li. If he applied as a student, it would be difficult to get approval, so he could only ask for help.

　　As for human drug clinical trials, it is not that simple. There is a cumbersome process. It takes an average of two years for each new drug to be approved for clinical use. Lu Li didn't want to wait that long, so he could only ask for help.

　　"Don't worry, this is all on me. Now you need to organize your research results, write a paper, and announce to the world that you have conquered AIDS. Let Western scientists know, and let scientists all over the world know that times have changed. Now! The future of biological science is in our Dragon Country! Let them be ready for a new era!"

　　Director Wu laughed happily. He was really happy and had a feeling of raising his eyebrows.

　　Lu Li nodded.

　　Publishing papers does not conflict with technical confidentiality.

　　Because publishing papers is more about showing new knowledge and viewpoints to peers, at most some principled things are mentioned for peer review.

　　For example, the manufacturing principles of nuclear bombs do not need to be kept secret. The relevant principles have been written into textbooks. What really needs to be kept secret are actually some technical details, such as how to obtain high-purity U235.

　　Like chip manufacturing, everyone knows the relevant principles and processes, but to really make high-performance chips, you must have supporting technologies and equipment, such as an advanced lithography machine.

　　The same is true for the AIDS treatment technology developed by Lu Li. The principle is to edit the genes of macrophages, but how to edit the genes is the key, and this part of the content will not be covered in the paper, otherwise, There are not many scientists in the world who dare to publish papers.

　　Therefore, what we usually say is that certain technology lags behind the world, not that it is inferior to others in certain principle.

　　Next, Director Wu and the others chatted with Lu Li for a while before preparing to leave. However, at this moment, with the sound of footsteps, another group of people poured into the laboratory.

　　The leader was a middle-aged man, and behind him was Director Wang of the Yan University Admissions Team who had met with Lu Li.

　　The middle-aged man walked directly in front of Lu Li and said with a warm smile: "Student Lu Li, hello, I'm the principal of Yanda University, you should know Director Wang next to me, he once made special recruits on behalf of Yanda University. It means that you have a lot of fate with our Yanda University. I am here this time to invite you to join Yanda University again. However, this time, instead of studying for an undergraduate degree, you will directly study for a Ph.D. At the same time, our Yanda laboratory is optional for you."

　　"Too much! You are too much!"

　　At this moment, someone else trotted all the way into the laboratory. It was the president of Qing University. He said a little frantically: "I knew that you came here to do something good, and you really came to poach people. Although Lu Li has not reported it yet. , but he is actually already a student of our Qing University. You heard that he has conquered AIDS, and you ran to dig people non-stop, which is too much!"

　　The principal of Yan University said calmly: "So you have also admitted that classmate Lu Li hasn't reported on him yet. His identity is still a high school student. Isn't it reasonable for us to come to Yanda for special recruitment? Besides, even if classmate Lu Li is a Qing university student. , it is also completely possible to transfer, we must respect Lu Li's opinion."

　　The principal of Qing University blew his beard and stared angrily: "It's too much! It's too much!"

Chapter 28 I still choose to be a student

　　"What's too much? Don't you Qing University often rob our students? This year's Yanjing's college entrance examination champion, originally wanted to come to our Yan University, but you were cut off by you."

　　"So, are you determined to rob someone?"

　　"Yes."

　　"very good."

　　The President of Qing University turned around and smiled kindly at Lu Li: "Student Lu Li, during your time at Qing University, you have achieved remarkable results, and we also realized that with your knowledge, there is absolutely no need to start your undergraduate studies. So, after the semester starts, you go directly to your doctorate, and you have been using this laboratory all the time. If you are not satisfied, you can change another one. As for the scholarship, Yan Da can give it, and our Qing University is not bad for money. One million scholarships a year.”

　　"You...you're too much!"

　　This time, it's Yan University's turn to go crazy. What conditions are given by Yan University, you Qing University will copy it. Isn't this shameful?

　　Just when the two principals glared at each other.

　　Another bald middle-aged man walked in.

　　Seeing the scene in the laboratory, he was stunned for a moment, then locked on Lu Li in the crowd, walked over and said, "Student Lu Li, hello, I'm Zhou Tongwei from the admissions team of Fuda Yanjing, I just received a call from us. Principal's phone, let me represent FUD, and sincerely invite you to join FUD. By the way, not as a student, but specially appointed you as a full professor of the School of Life Sciences. You can choose the laboratory of the school, and directly assign a A house of 120 square meters."

　　"You, you...you're too big!"

　　"Are there any like you?"

　　The principals of Yan University and Qing University were angry at the same time, and glared at Zhou Tongwei.

　　We all let Lu Li go straight to Ph.D.!

　　Your Fuda even hired Lu Li directly as a professor!

　　This is too shameless!

　　However, thinking about it carefully, if it doesn't matter his qualifications, just his ability, it seems that Lu Li can be a professor at all.

　　If nothing else, the single-base gene editing technology developed by Lu Li is an achievement that many biology professors cannot achieve in a lifetime.

　　Now, Lu Li has conquered AIDS... This has already locked in next year's Nobel Prize.

　　The most terrifying thing is that it took Lu Li just over a month to achieve these results.

　　Mom, the more I think about it, the more I think Lu Li is a monster.

　　The president of Qing University hurriedly said: "Student Lu Li, we at Qing University also specially hired you to be a full professor of the School of Life Sciences, and we will provide you with a house. If you want to apply for scientific research funding, or set up a laboratory, or need talents, just speak up, we will Qing Da will try its best to do it well.”

　　Zhou Tongwei: "..."

　　It's too much, you're too much, and you actually copied our Fuda's conditions. Isn't this a shame?

　　No, I have to call the principal immediately and ask for better terms.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Tongwei picked up his mobile phone and walked to the side to make a call.

　　The principal of Yan University was also dumbfounded. The conditions you offered are getting higher and higher. How should I make moves?Do you want to hire Lu Li as the deputy dean of the School of Life Sciences?

　　At this moment, Lu Li, who had been eating melons silently, also felt that he needed to speak.

　　To be honest, he was still a little excited about being a professor.

　　That's a professor, a professor from a top institution, sounds like a force.

　　However, after careful consideration, he decided to refuse.

　　He has already made plans for his future, that is, he will work hard to absorb knowledge and realize his own brain holes, such as: biological computers, star beasts that can survive in space, transforming cells into atomic furnaces, and making humans like plants Same goes for photosynthesis.

　　At the same time, he wants to enjoy life with his family.

　　Therefore, he does not have the time and energy to be a professor.

　　Lu left his mouth and said, "Thank you for your love, but I just want to be a student and study quietly, and I think Qingda is very good, and I don't plan to go to other schools."

　　"No problem, you want to be a student, you want to study quietly, no problem at all."

　　The principal of Qing University said with a smile.

　　Principal Yan University and Zhou Tongwei were inevitably a little disappointed, but they didn't say much, just congratulations to Lu Li for overcoming AIDS.

　　At this time, Director Wu, who had been eating melons silently beside him, nodded in relief.

　　What he was most worried about was that Lu Li was young and had a high-spirited mentality, but now it seems that Lu Li is a person who is very down-to-earth and knows what he wants.

　　Thinking of this, Director Wu smiled and said to Lu Li, "There is one thing I didn't want to tell you now, but your performance just now makes me feel that I can tell you in advance. If your experiment goes well, our Chinese Academy of Sciences will The Institute of Biology will collectively nominate you for the 'National Highest Science and Technology Award', and as long as the experiment goes well, you are enough to win this award with your achievements in overcoming AIDS."

　　hiss!

　　The President of Qing University, the President of Yan University, Professor Xu and others couldn't help but look at Lu Li.

　　The highest science and technology award!

　　This is the nation's highest honor!

　　Established in 2000, the selection is held once a year, and no more than two are awarded each time.

　　Those who can receive this award are all scientists who have made major breakthroughs in the forefront of contemporary science and technology or have made outstanding achievements in the development of science and technology.

　　In the past 20 years, only 33 people have won the award. It is conceivable that the gold content of this award is.

　　Now, if nothing else, Lu Li will become the recipient of this award and become a nationally recognized pillar of the country.

　　And Lu Li is only 18 years old. Even if the awards are presented next year, Lu Li is only 19 years old.

　　19-year-old winner of the highest science and technology award!

　　This... is really shocking!

　　However, at this moment, they suddenly thought that, if nothing else, Lu Li would also lock in next year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

　　This... this is absolutely something that no one dares to think about!

　　Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.

　　Lu Li was also very emotional, unable to calm down.

　　The highest science and technology award.

　　That is the highest honor for a scientist of the Dragon Kingdom!

　　Thinking of the picture of himself receiving the medal certificate in the Great Hall of the People, he couldn't help being excited, and at the same time, he also felt that he had an extra responsibility.

　　Let me, on behalf of the Dragon Kingdom, lead the world in biotechnology!

　　This is my responsibility!

Chapter 29 Who is using this laboratory?

　　After Director Wu finished speaking, he patted Lu Li on the shoulder with a smile and left the laboratory.

　　The other academicians also smiled and said goodbye to Lu Li.

　　The President of Qing University, the President of Yan University, Professor Xu, Professor Tian and others also left one after another.

　　The laboratory gradually became quiet.

　　However, it didn't take long before there was another movement outside. Lu Li took a look and found that two security guards from Qingda University were standing guard, responsible for protecting the safety of the laboratory, which should have been arranged by the principal.

　　Lu Li greeted them and returned to the laboratory to continue working.

　　Instead of writing the paper first, he went on to make genetic modifications to the new macrophages.

　　Animal experiments with chimpanzees are coming soon.

　　Chimpanzees are different from humans. In order for the experiment to go smoothly, he needs to adjust the genes of the new macrophages.

　　Not only that, but he also has to think about human drug clinical trials.

　　The human body has a rejection reaction. In simple terms, T cells will attack the foreign body when it detects that a foreign body has entered the body.

　　The new macrophages he was going to infuse the patient were also foreign bodies.

　　So he had to figure out a way to keep the new macrophages from being attacked by the patient's immune system.

　　At this time, the abnormality in the laboratory has attracted the attention of many Qing Dynasty students. In a place not far from the laboratory, some students are gathering around to discuss.

　　"It feels like something big has happened in this laboratory! There are security guards standing guard, let alone entering the laboratory. I just wanted to take pictures, but the security guards stopped me."

　　"That's because you came late. When I first came, the security guard hadn't come yet, but I saw the principal and a group of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I use your future sexual blessing to guarantee that there must be something serious in this laboratory. The results are the kind that can shock the whole country.”

　　"Damn it, why do you use my future sexual blessing as a guarantee... Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's get down to business, does anyone know who is using this laboratory?"
