Chapter 700: Clone
Yang Rui laughed twice and said, "I have two long-term projects and want to get support from the school. β
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Long-term projects are simple ......"
As he spoke, he suddenly felt a little nervous and asked, "How long is the long-term project?"
"The ten-year plan, five years up, the first two years may not have much results, but the investment will not be too small, such a project, the foundation or anything may not pass, with the help of the school, and to set up a special project team, the staff is neat. Yang Rui's eyes are extremely bright, what is the biggest ambition in his life as an academic?
For the sake of unregulated and uncapped funding supply, scholars dare to say anything, what ozone hole has exterminated mankind, what global warming has exterminated mankind, what superbugs have exterminated mankind, what supervolcanoes have exterminated mankind, what gamma rays have exterminated mankind, what extraterrestrial development is the only hope for mankind, how scary how to come, take a closer look, every industry can find more than a dozen reasons to cheat funding, as if giving them money, they can solve the problem, although science is great, but in the 21st century, it is not so greatγ
Yang Rui was able to struggle for two years with his head down, that is, in order to get infinitely close to the ultimate pursuit of this kind of scholar.
There is no upper limit, just think about it, and society can't be so rich in material that scholars can do whatever experiments they want, what if people want to explode the universe and see it? Or multiverse sandwich ice cream?
Undisciplined is relatively easy to pursue, Huarui Lab needless to say, it is Yang Rui's own, as long as he is not defeated, he can do whatever he wants.
The supervision of the ion channel laboratory is relatively more, and the most troublesome thing is to keep producing results, taking money from foundations or institutions, and even having to keep reporting, and later develop to the extreme, and some scholars even say: I don't want to live a life of using a bottle of ink and two pages of A4 paper.
However, there will only be more and more applications, not fewer and fewer applications.
This is the ill of poor countries, European countries have deep pockets, and long-term projects have become regular research, but the way of life of the old rich man and the way of life of the long-term worker are destined to be different.
In terms of China's current level of poverty, who can stand a project that will be studied for five years, eight or even ten years?
If there is no result in two years, it is normal for scholars, but for long-term workers, it is a major event that will starve people to death.
The principal's confidence in Yang Rui was not enough to let him go for two years, so he couldn't help but hesitate to ask, "What project are you going to do?"
"It's all genetic, one is long-term gene sequencing, the human genome project proposed by Professor Dalbeko, and I'm very interested. β
This is a relatively easy field to achieve, and the principal nodded: "Yes, the school supports you every year...... 2 million, no matter what you do, these two million yuan will not be moved, if there are results, then we will talk about it. β
If 30 years later, the president of Peking University will definitely disdain to use one million as a unit, but in 84 years, the fixed expenditure of two million a year will have to grit his teeth before he dares to say it.
Looking at the face of the vice principal in charge of finance next to him, he knew how difficult it was.
"The second is cloning, maybe a little bit longer, and I want to do something like nuclear transfer. Yang Rui smiled shyly.
Nuclear transfer refers to the transfer of the nucleus, which takes cells from the embryo that has developed to an advanced stage, and then transplants the nucleus of the cell into another enucleated egg, which is the early idea of cloning technology, which was born in 1938.
Over the course of 46 years, from 1938 to 1984, Hillrigues and T.J. King completed the idea with the embryonic nucleus of a frog, then John Gordon got better results, then it was Ilmenzer and Hoppe who used the embryonic nucleus of a mouse to breed a cloned mouse, thus extending the nuclear transfer experiment to mammals, and finally, this year, Stern Villadson who used the immature embryonic nucleus of a sheep to breed a sheep.
In 1984, when Villadson's work was still very impressive, Professor Cai immediately remembered and asked, "Do you want to do mammalian nuclear cultivation?"
Now that the sheep have been bred, are the pigs, dogs, sheep, horses, and cows still far away? This kind of opportunity to brush top journals is everyone's favorite, and Professor Cai naturally guessed Yang Rui.
"It's similar technology. "Of course Yang Rui can't say, I want to clone the sheep Dolly. The difference between cloned sheep and embryonic cells is that embryonic cells are inherently used to give birth to the next generation, while somatic cells are products that may be rubbed off by bath towels after dozens of days.
From a scientific point of view, cloning Dolly the sheep is simply shocking, if it weren't for this, a technology proposed in 38 years, how could it be in 97 years to brush his face and brush the world.
However, even if it is only the nuclear technology, it is extremely difficult, and as a Dane, Villadsen can be known by Professor Cai because of his worldwide achievements.
Such an achievement has a collective name in the biology community, called "expensive"!
The principal understood this, not only retreated, but said: "The relationship between cloning research and gene sequencing is relatively far, and at the same time, open a gene sequencing project, open another cloning project, and add the original ion channel project in the ion channel laboratory, will it be a little too scattered?"
What he said is also very reasonable, not to mention one more clone and one more gene sequencing, it is an ion channel project, and if you do it in depth, billions of dollars will be spent like a play.
Not to mention gene sequencing, which has not been completed at a cost of more than a trillion dollars, it is burned by all countries in the world, and if it were not for the fear of death of the rich and the wealth of pharmaceutical companies, the human genome project may not be completed by 2030. Even so, the U.S. court still approved the gene patent case, so that pharmaceutical companies and research institutions can apply for sequencing genes as patents, which is not too expensive, and the court will not rule like this.
But from Yang Rui's point of view, the long-term project is for in-depth research, and his own interests are more inclined to Oppenheimer-like research directions, so naturally the larger and broader the project, the better.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Rui said: "I have some ideas in cloning, I think they are more valuable, I want to verify them, if the school can support it, it is okay to use the conditions of gene sequencing as the benchmark, I think, I can make something valuable." β
"If it's just verifying, maybe you can spend a separate amount first?" said the vice principal in charge of finance, who was in charge of finance, in a cold sweat.
"If the time is too short, the results will not be satisfactory, but it will be a waste of time. β
"Or, in the next fiscal year, is it too late to do this. The Vice Chancellor in charge of finance spoke in a consultative tone.
"Naturally, it's also in time, long-term projects, not to fight for overnight time. "Dolly the cloned sheep didn't appear until '97, which is a lot of time. However, the cloning project is very time-consuming, and cloning sheep also has to go through the process of embryonic development, and it will take several months at a time, Yang Rui is not ready to operate this project personally, because of this, it is even more necessary to anticipate the enemy and be lenient, prepare in advance, and pull up the team.
The headmaster groaned.
If an ordinary student, or a professor at the Puniu level, said this, the principal would have to shoot it back.
A fixed investment of 2 million yuan a year is not a small amount, if a general cow costs 2 million, a professional average of five cows, and a school needs 100 general cattle, then wouldn't it cost a fixed investment of 200 million a year?
Tsinghua University was the school with the most funds in 14 years, spending 4.5 billion yuan a year, but in 84 years, which Chinese school could have 200 million yuan in scientific research funds to squander?
However, Yang Rui has already transcended the Puniu stage.
The principal pondered for a long time, decided to show his strong support for high-end scholars, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't wait for next year, just do it this year." β
The vice principal in charge of finance wailed: "Principal, our funds for this year are really not enough......
"Overcoming ...... Difficulties"
"Headmaster!"
"Think of a way ......"
"Headmaster!"
"The Road to Heaven and the End ......"
"Headmaster!"
"I believe ......"
"Principal!" the vice principal in charge of finance is already a rock 'n' roll fan.
"I have a suggestion. In the midst of all kinds of entanglements, Principal Pang, who had not been seen for a long time, stood up, smiled at Yang Rui friendly, and said: "How about merging the existing embryonic cell laboratory? Their conditions are good, after joining the ion channel laboratory, they will form an independent group, and the school can meet Yang Rui's requirements as long as they add part of the funds." β
President Pang is the vice president of Pang who ******** supported Richard's laboratory back then, and the failure of Richard's laboratory caused his Sino-American cooperation plan to die abruptly, and he suffered a lot of damage, but judging from his expression at this time, it seems that he wants to take the opportunity to reconcile with Yang Rui.
Yang Rui listened with a smile, not believing it at all.
