Science on the Rise: Starting with Cell Editors

　　Others who were about to come up to greet Lu Li also stopped, and countless thoughts flashed through their minds.

　　At this time, Lu Li finally said, "Everyone, I know your intentions, but we'll wait until the clinical trial of the AIDS drug is over."

　　After speaking, Lu Li left immediately.

　　Ning Wei and the others guarded him and left.

　　When they were all gone, someone came to Du Yilong and asked, "Who was blocking you just now?"

　　Du Yilong smiled bitterly and said, "It's from a secret unit, the state sent to protect Lu Li."

　　hiss!

　　Everyone's eyes widened, Lu Li could actually enjoy this kind of treatment, then his weight in the eyes of the country... how much!

　　……

　　When Lu Li returned to the rented house, Senior Sister Qin Wei had already prepared the meals, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, fried pork with green onions, and crucian carp soup.

　　After the two were full, they sat on the sofa and watched TV together, which was warm and sweet.

　　the next day.

　　After breakfast, Lu Li went straight to the laboratory.

　　In the laboratory, the chimpanzee, who had been ignored all night, saw Lu Li's arrival, and immediately stood up, showing a fierce expression of baring teeth and beating the iron cage.

　　Seeing this scene, Lu Li not only was not angry, but showed joy on his face.

　　These chimpanzees looked helpless yesterday, but now they all look quite energetic, which shows that the medicine has worked.

　　"Wow, these chimpanzees have a lot of energy."

　　"Although I haven't tested it yet, I'm pretty sure that these chimpanzees have a lot less HIV in their bodies."

　　"They should be hungry, that's why they beat the iron cage. I will feed them something to eat."

　　It didn't take long for the brothers and sisters to come to the laboratory one after another. After seeing the performance of the chimpanzees, all of them were happy.

　　"The amount of HIV in the blood of Chimpanzee No. 1 has dropped by 35% compared to yesterday, which is also very good."

　　"The amount of HIV in the blood of Chimpanzee No. 2 has dropped by 83% compared to yesterday! Of course, this may be related to the fact that Chimpanzee No. 2 is mildly infected. There is very little HIV in its body, and the effect of the drug will be more effective. Conspicuous."

　　"..."

　　The faces of the brothers and sisters were full of smiles. Although the experiment was not over yet, the test results could already prove that the new macrophages could perfectly restrain HIV.

　　Day three.

　　The amount of HIV in these chimpanzees was further reduced.

　　Fourth day.

　　Those mildly infected chimpanzees, whether in blood, saliva or other body fluids, are no longer detectable HIV, as for the new macrophages, they are still alive, patrolling the body of the chimpanzee, but their numbers have not increased. , which means that they did not split.

　　Seeing these data, the brothers and sisters cheered.

　　Professor Xu and Professor Tian also hurried to the laboratory. After reading the experimental data, their faces were filled with smiles.

　　Seventh day.

　　All the chimpanzees had undetectable HIV, meaning they had been cured of AIDS.

　　Not only that, but they didn't show any adverse effects either.

　　This means that the new macrophage drug cures their AIDS without the side effects.

　　……

　　"Perfect!"

　　Lu Li read the compiled experimental data from beginning to end, and his face was full of smiles.

　　The data from this animal experiment can only be described as perfect.

　　"The next step is to conduct human clinical experiments. This is the most critical step, and there must be no mistakes. Once there are mistakes, the people involved in the experiment may be killed, and the whole society will be affected by this drug. question."

　　"In addition, I also have to register a company, and the operation of the company will be handed over to professionals. I will be the manager and be responsible for developing new products. As for the name of the company, um... it is called Galaxy Life Co., Ltd. Galaxy Life Co., Ltd. , symbolizing that my goal is the stars and the sea. Life means that this company is based on biotechnology."

　　Lu Li immediately contacted an agency and entrusted the registration of the company to the agency, and then contacted Professor Xu, Professor Tian, ​​and Director Wu, and told them the good news that the animal experiment was a complete success. He also mentioned that he wanted to. Hurry up with the thing about clinical trials of human drugs.

　　Soon, Professor Xu, Professor Tian and Director Wu came to the laboratory.

　　"Well, the experimental data is perfect, and it is indeed possible to conduct clinical trials of human drugs."

　　After reading the experimental data, Director Wu nodded and said, "I have already contacted the Food and Drug Administration, all you need to do is apply, and it will be approved very soon. The country and the country all hope that this AIDS drug will be launched as soon as possible."

Chapter 38 Making Hope

　　The next day, Galaxy Life Co., Ltd. was registered, and the company's official website was established.

　　Lu Li also sorted out the pre-clinical research reports of AIDS specific drugs and sent them to the State Food and Drug Administration for the record. At the same time, he applied for clinical research. Generally speaking, it takes several months for approval, but he has already contacted the Food and Drug Administration. Greetings, so Lu Li got the approval document and clinical trial approval number the next day.

　　In addition, the president of Tsingda University also took the initiative to provide help after learning about the incident. He contacted the Affiliated Hospital of Tsing University and asked the Affiliated Hospital of Tsing University to provide help for this clinical trial.

　　"All is ready except for the opportunity."

　　Lu Li smiled slightly and dialed a CCTV executive who he met when he held a scientific and technological achievements conference in the Great Hall of the People.

　　On the same day, with CCTV's report, the news that the AIDS drug will soon undergo clinical trials spread all over the country.

　　Fu Province, in a hospital.

　　12-year-old Zhou Xiaoyu was lying on the hospital bed, looked at his mother sitting beside the bed, and asked softly, "Mom, am I going to die?"

　　"No, you kid, what are you talking about?"

　　The mother said quickly, but the tears couldn't stop flowing.

　　"It's all played like this on TV. If the family members of the patient can't help crying, it means that the patient is going to heaven soon. You told me before that heaven is just a far away place, and even if you go to heaven, there will be We have a chance to meet, but now that I have grown up, I know that to go to heaven is to die, and there is no chance to meet again when I die."

　　As Zhou Xiaoyu said, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his mother's eyes, and then showed a smile, "Mom, don't cry, although we won't have the chance to meet, but I will always miss you, I will miss you every day. Also, Can you promise me one thing?"

　　Mother hugged Zhou Xiaoyu hard and said with a weeping voice, "No matter what it is, my mother promises you, my mother is sorry for you, for making you suffer so much, Xiaoyu, my little fish!"

　　Zhou Xiaoyu's pale, paper-like face showed a bright smile: "The last time I saw a TV series, there was a little girl in it. After she went to heaven, her body and organs were donated to those in need. People, mother, I want to be like her, donating organs to those in need, there are so many kind people who have helped me, I want to learn from them and help others."

　　"Well! Mom promises you!"

　　The mother nodded vigorously, but she knew very well that this was impossible, because her daughter Zhou Xiaoyu was an AIDS patient and was infected during an operation and blood transfusion in the hospital. She was only 7 years old that year.

　　Since then, she hasn't been to school, and she has no friends to play with.

　　At a young age, she was abandoned by the whole world overnight.

　　However, there is sunshine in this world after all. After some kind people know what happened to her, they donate money to her and often come to see her.

　　Perhaps it is this limited sunshine that warms Zhou Xiaoyu and keeps her kind and optimistic.

　　At this moment, the doctor walked in in a hurry, with a happy face: "Xiaoyu, I have good news for you, the AIDS drug developed by the scientists has already started the first phase of clinical trials, and 50 volunteers are needed, hurry up and apply. , it is very convenient to apply online.”

　　While talking, the doctor took out his mobile phone and handed it to Zhou Xiaoyu.

　　……

　　If you want to become a volunteer of the Phase I clinical trial, you need to apply on the website of Galaxy Life Co., Ltd.

　　In just one day, the number of applications exceeded [-].

　　But there are only 50 places.

　　"Fortunately, it can be automatically classified according to the patient's information, otherwise, the workload would be too great."

　　At this time, Lu Li was screening volunteers, and when he saw so many application news, he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

　　"Sexually infected patients are directly excluded, they should pay the price for their actions, and this time it is not their turn."

　　"Only select late-stage patients, they have no time to wait."

　　"The younger patients are preferred, they haven't experienced the world well."

　　"Only domestic patients are selected, and foreign patients can wait patiently for AIDS-specific drugs to be launched."

　　After setting these conditions.

　　Lu Li began to screen carefully.

　　A day later, he identified 50 volunteers and notified them in person, including Zhou Xiaoyu.

　　……

　　Two days later, in the early morning, after Lu Li woke up, he went directly to the Affiliated Hospital of Qingda University.

　　As for Senior Sister Qin Wei, she has already gone home. She has not gone back all summer vacation. Now that school is about to start, she will go home to spend a while with her parents.

　　on the way.

　　He suddenly received a call from the hospital director, and the director said anxiously: "Mr. Lu, something has happened, and now there are thousands of AIDS patients surrounding the hospital. I asked someone to ask them, and they are all terminal AIDS patients. , The health is already very poor, and they all think that they may not wait for the AIDS drug to be launched, so they want to apply to be volunteers in this clinical trial, and they are willing to take any risks."

　　Lu Li was stunned when he heard the words, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was normal. It usually takes several years for a new drug to be developed and launched. These advanced AIDS patients can't wait that long.

　　He thought for a while and said, "President Ye, please tell them that this AIDS drug is specially handled by the Food and Drug Administration. If the first phase of the clinical trial goes well, it will enter into clinical application soon. They can be treated."

　　"Okay, I'll tell them right away."

　　Dean Ye said quickly.

　　When Lu Li arrived at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingda University, he happened to see the gathered people leaving in batches. They turned their heads one step at a time and looked at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingda University. In their eyes, there was a light called hope. For them, Qingda University The affiliated hospital is the hope of living.

　　Seeing this scene, Lu Li suddenly felt that he not only developed a product, but also brought hope to people.

　　(Today's flowers and monthly tickets are very few... The big guys vote a little.)

Chapter 39 I am happy to cooperate

　　The AIDS patients left, but journalists flocked to them.

　　CCTV, Fox TV, Al Jazeera and other world-class media have all sent reporters to follow up on the incident.

　　All over the world, countless people are also paying attention to this matter.

　　According to statistics, this number is as high as 5 million.
