"Come so early again." Wang Hua opened the door of the laboratory and saw Yu Tian who had been at the workbench for a long time. He smiled and said hello.
He came quite early. For example, the company's stipulated working time is 9 o'clock. It has just arrived at 9 o'clock, and he is not late at all.
"Morning." Yu Tian was still concentrating on continuing his work on the computer, and then responded without raising his head, his voice was cold and unknown.
Wang Hua, however, was already used to his new colleague's attitude towards others and didn't take it seriously.
Walked straight over.
After looking behind Yu Tian for a while, he said with a little surprise in his tone: "Hey, you are also optimistic about this C4 gene, and I am also very optimistic about this gene. If the C4 gene can be edited, the patient's neurons can be changed. During the development process, the symptoms of autism will be resolved by then." Wang Huayue said, with a brighter smile on his face.
"It's just possible." Yu Tian said without looking back.
Although the exact cause of autism is unknown, current research suggests it is caused by the interaction of genes and environmental factors.
There are many possible correlations at the genetic level, and C4 is just one of them.
Wang Hua disagreed and kept smiling.
"The young man is very promising. He actually agrees with this genius' idea. However, the protein encoded by the C4 gene also plays an important role in the immune system. When we edit the C4 gene, we also need to consider the potential risks it brings. I really look forward to the day when we can see our own genetic medicine on the market." Wang Hua said with a smile, and then started discussing with Yu Tian.
Their kind of gene editing work has great potential, but it is also difficult.
For example, one of the difficulties is the accuracy of editing. Sometimes editing can cause unintended genetic mutations or unexpected side effects, so improving accuracy is very important.
Yu Tian, Wang Hua and their team leaders have divided multiple groups within the company and adopted a variety of strategies to improve the accuracy of editing, such as increasing the specific binding of editing tools to target genes, or introducing small molecules or Protein modifications to regulate editing efficiency.
In addition, another difficulty in gene editing technology is to achieve more precise gene editing targeting. Some technologies can already achieve high-precision editing, but large-scale editing of genomes is still difficult. This requires the use of better algorithms and tools, as well as the development of more effective vectors and delivery systems, to improve the efficiency and accuracy of targeted editing.
We are still recruiting people in this area, but I heard that we have already identified them, and they are expected to join this month.
How should I put it? After encountering a problem at work, while they were still thinking about how to solve it and moving forward with difficulty, they suddenly heard that the boss was recruiting someone who happened to be an expert in this field.
Don't feel too happy this way.
And there are many others in similar situations to them.
Of course, the most important thing for the company at the moment is the inactivated vaccine project of the vaccine research and development department, which is a bit out of place, because so many of the company's research projects are cutting-edge technologies, but the most important project recently is the most primitive inactivated vaccine project. Live vaccine program.
However, relevant vaccines are currently undergoing animal experiments.
It is estimated that in a few months, if the results are good, clinical trials can be carried out. But clinical trials.
There are no more patients in China, so why bother with clinical practice?
Fortunately, the national level is very supportive of this project, and channels will soon be established. If the animal experiments go well, subsequent clinical experiments will most likely be conducted abroad.
And I heard that the government provides some financial subsidies.
Some people who didn't know the reason once thought that Wu Zhou was trying to 'cheat some funds' through this.
However, as long as someone mentions this idea in casual chat, it will be immediately rejected by others.
"Don't say this to anyone. If someone discovers that you have such a low IQ, we might not be able to eat together in the future. Haha, just kidding. In my opinion, cheating on subsidies is definitely not allowed. It's possible. The main reason is that Mr. Wu has never had the habit of cheating on subsidies. If you search the news, you can see that Mr. Wu is our number one philanthropist in China, donating tens of billions a year. Think about it. Think about it, no matter how much subsidies we provide, can it reach tens of billions?"
"Furthermore, the company has recently introduced so many new equipment, many of which you use on a daily basis. Why didn't you check the brand and model? Agilent Technologies' mass spectrometer, Illumina's high-throughput gene sequencing equipment, the same brand, but different The models and prices can be astonishingly different, and the equipment our company comes in are almost all top-notch equipment, but the investment cost of these equipment may be hundreds of millions or even billions."
"I invested so much real money just to get a little subsidy? If the standard for getting subsidies is so high, I think there should be no cheating."
On the other side, Yuncheng.
Song Fei and Zhao Ping 'finally' got married. It was originally planned to be during the Chinese New Year, but their relatives and friends were all there, so the time was more convenient. But for reasons we all know, this matter has been delayed.
Until now, seeing that there seems to be nothing around, the wedding has started again.
However, everyone at the wedding scene wore masks, so they still had a sense of safety.
Of course Han Xinyan was invited. After all, Song Fei was her best friend in college.
"Fei Fei, happy wedding, you are so beautiful today." Han Xinyan immediately praised Song Fei after seeing her. The most beautiful moment in most women's lives is their wedding day.
"Hmph, one day I won't be beautiful anymore." Song Fei curled her lips in pretending to be angry.
"Okay, okay, you are beautiful every day, you are the most beautiful." Han Xinyan rolled her eyes at her. At this moment, the two of them were holding hands tightly. They had not seen each other for several months.
Then Song Fei's eye circles filled with glistening mist, "Thank you for coming, Xin Yan."
"What are you talking about? My best friend is getting married, how could I not come over?" Han Xinyan patted Song Fei's shoulder gently, with a slightly angry expression.
"Yeah." Song Fei smiled and nodded.
Wu Zhou, who was on the side, was currently surrounded by Zhao Ping and Zhao Ping's parents.
"Thank you, Mr. Wu, for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my son's wedding." Zhao Ping's father has actually 'retired' from Wu Zhou Company, but he is used to this title.
"Uncle Zhao, you're welcome. Song Fei is Xinyan's best friend, that is, my friend. Of course such a big event as a friend's marriage is coming." Wu Zhou replied with a smile.
Zhao Ping's father was dismissed just because he could not keep up with the company's development. The small workshop-style company management style would definitely not be able to adapt to the rapid development of Aiying Company. If he did not take the initiative to step down, he would be fired directly.
Moreover, Wu Zhou gave Song Fei a fairly good 'retirement' at that time.
If Zhao Ping's father still wants to continue working in the packaging materials market, this pension will be enough.
Therefore, in Wu Zhou's opinion, he was extremely kind to Zhao Ping's father. As for whether he was dissatisfied, Wu Zhou could not control it.
I am not RMB, so I cannot be liked by everyone.
After saying this, Wu Zhou turned around and looked at Zhao Ping. "Happy wedding."
"Thank you, Brother Ang." Zhao Ping quickly smiled and thanked him very sincerely. He always remembered Wu Zhou's help at the previous gathering.
Not to mention Wu Zhou's current status.
Song Fei, who was not far away, heard the conversation between Wu Zhou and Zhao Ping's family, and thanked Han Xinyan softly again.
Han Xinyan smiled, didn't say anything, just held her hand.
Some visiting guests looked at Wu Zhou and Han Xinyan with some curiosity when they saw that the Zhao Ping family personally greeted the two young men.
"Okay, no more words, let's go in, I have arranged a private room for you." Zhao Ping's father said with a smile.
"No need to go to such trouble, uncle, we can just be friends. Some college classmates are rare to meet." Han Xinyan waved her hand. Song Fei and Zhao Ping's wedding will definitely have to be busy.
This wedding lasted at least two or three hours, and it was quite boring to be in the box all the time. Of course, the most important thing was that Han Xinyan actually missed her friends in the university dormitory.
"It's okay, they are in the private room too." Zhao Ping's father said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Han Xinyan did not refuse.
Glancing at Wu Zhou, Wu Zhou nodded.
For just a moment, even though Wu Zhou and Han Xinyan were wearing masks, many people were already looking at Wu Zhou from time to time.
And they were talking quietly.
"Who is this? The whole family of the bride and groom came to greet them personally. This treatment is a bit high."
"No, and he's still so young."
"Looks familiar?"
"What you said seems familiar."
“Who do you think you are?”
"."
