"Yang Rui, show me your pipette. "When Tang returned to the room, he remembered the words of light weapons and heavy weapons.

Yang Rui returned to the state of reality, and when he heard it, he said, "Xiao Sun, give your pipette to Professor Tang." ”

Sun Ruyue is a sophomore this year, and he is one level higher than Yang Rui, and he is called Xiao Sun at this time, but he took the pipette out in a hurry.

Tang Zhong took the pipette and looked at it carefully, and asked for a moment: "How much is this pipette?"

"$600. Sun Ruyue hurriedly said: "Imported from a foreign country." ”

"See. Tang Zhong glared at Sun Ruyue angrily and asked, "Yang Rui, you bought this yourself?"

"I bought it from Jielizen. ”

"It's okay to use it in our real room?"

"I'm definitely going to take it back after that, and it's useless for the time being. "Yang Rui is not going to provide instruments and instruments for Tang Zhongshi's room. Anyway, Tang Zhong's real room is also qualified to select the national key real room, and with millions of dollars a year, buying a few $600 pipettes is nothing, it's just a question of whether he wants it or not.

Yang Rui bought high-priced imported pipettes, on the one hand, because of the accumulation of years of resentment, on the other hand, the requirements of PCR, and of course, the most important thing is that he has sufficient funds.

Tang Zhong didn't have such a strong demand anymore, so after trying the pipette a few times, he still sighed and said, "It's good, it's expensive." ”

Sun Ruyue said disappointedly: "We can't buy it." ”

"There are 9 people in our room, and it costs 5,400 US dollars to buy 9 pipettes? Tang Zhong shook his head and said: "The electrophoresis room doesn't use such good equipment at present, Yang Rui can use his own, you still use the original equipment in the room." ”

This time, even Wang Ying let out a miserable cry. It is a painful thing to use a bad instrument after using a good instrument, and the corresponding comparison can be between a new computer and an old computer, a smart machine and an analog machine, and most of the fun will be consumed by this.

However, the scientific research dog has no right to speak, and Tang Zhong insists on this, and any wailing is useless.

"I'll leave a pipette from tomorrow onwards. Yang Rui understood what Tang Zhong said.

Tang Zhong touched his head embarrassedly and said, "It's not that I won't let you use it, I'm afraid that the evaluation team will find faults, and after this time has passed, it's fine." Alright, let's do our own thing. ”

Dispersing the person, Tang Zhong talked to Yang Rui about potassium channel proteins, and said: "I must admit that I didn't pay attention to your recent achievements before, because you just published a paper, I thought, if you want to publish a second paper, it will take two or three months, I didn't expect it to be so soon." ”

"The real work went very smoothly, and I didn't finish it all, so I published the paper first. "Yang Rui will publish papers as long as there are phased results, which is actually a relatively normal practice. Unless it is in a special way, such as a PCR paper with a peculiar idea and a simple way, most of the practical papers will publish phased papers. For example, China's artificial insulin research, although it was in the 60s, was still published abroad, and more than 20 papers were published one after another, which was not easy.

"I see that your paper has the words "Peking University's electrophoresis room", which is very good. In this way, let Sun Ruyue follow you in the future, give you a hand, and you will also teach him practical methods, as well as some professional knowledge. Tang concentrated on giving the youngest scientific research dog to Yang Rui.

Yang Rui published papers in the name of the electrophoresis laboratory, although the first author is Yang Rui, there is no doubt that Peking University and the electrophoresis laboratory will be stained, which represents an increase in their papers. Although one or two ordinary papers are insignificant for an institution like Peking University, for the electrophoresis laboratory that is competing for the national key real estate room, one more paper is good.

Yang Rui thanked him without hesitation, he really needs a real assistant now, and he can't even wash the bottle by himself, it's too much of a waste of time. Although Sun Ruyue also had the help of Sun Ruyue before, after all, the name is not right.

"If there's anything you can help with in the next research, you come to me. Tang Zhong then clapped his hands and said: "I said before that I would help you apply for school funds, so I will help you fill out an application form tomorrow, and you can also prepare it to see if you can make a project. ”

"That's great. "Yang Rui entered the real yàn room of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to seeking privileges, in order to obtain funds, reputation, and corresponding convenience.

Prior to this, Yang Rui's funds were all paid by himself, and the external name was sponsored by Jielikang or Huarui. As a patent project, or a profitable pharmaceutical project, there is no problem with this method, but in the university's practical room, Yang Rui is doing a basic project, and it is a bit unjust to spend his own money.

In the pharmaceutical industry, a new drug usually goes through at least three steps. The first is that some scholars have completed a basic study, such as the ability of potassium channels to affect arrhythmias. After learning about this research, researchers at the biotechnology company will conduct a second step based on this research, develop or discover a potassium channel blocker to treat arrhythmias, which can be a completely new synthetic compound, or an existing compound, and finally, the third step, extract or produce this existing compound and perform various standard tests prescribed by various agencies.

The plant extraction method done by Yang Rui to produce coenzyme Q10 is the third step. The second step before CoQ10 was completed in the early 70s, and the first basic study was completed in the 50s.

In other words, it will take 30 years for Coenzyme Q10 to reach consumers.

Among the three steps, the third step is the key to profitability, and it is also the most concentrated part of the pharmaceutical company, and the second step is already difficult to apply for patents, so only large pharmaceutical companies are involved, hoping to be one step ahead of their opponents.

Most of the research carried out by the university laboratory is basic, that is, the first step, they spend a lot of money, in fact, they don't necessarily know what they will do, so except for super pharmaceutical companies, they often only make financial sponsorships, not direct investment, and because it is purely basic research, there is no patent research, you can't patent the potassium ion channel of the cell, just like scientists can't patent for a newly discovered glacier or a creature.

However, the one-two-three-step forcing grid is the opposite of profit. The third step that is the easiest to make a profit is the lowest forced level, and the first step that is difficult to make a profit is the highest forced level.

In terms of difficulty, it can also be said that the production of drugs to treat cancer is the easiest, and what is used to produce cancer drugs is the most difficult part.

Most honors, such as the Nobel Prize, are awarded to the first or second step researchers, and very few are awarded to the third step.

At present, there are not many funds in the domestic real room, but in terms of the whole country, in fact, there are a lot, especially the accumulated instruments and talents, which will only increase, and there are many advantages in terms of venues, names and other aspects, and there are many conveniences.

The next day, Yang Rui sorted out his resume, wrote various elements such as the goals of the project application, and submitted the funding application under the guidance of Tang Zhong.

Because it is a fund application within the school, it is also the staff of the school office who is responsible for accepting it, and after reading Yang Rui's application form, he put it in a special brown paper bag, and said: "The school is currently short of funds, and there is not much money for students, so you have to be psychologically prepared." ”

"It's enough to have thousands. "Yang Rui's potassium ion-related real energy is definitely not enough for a few thousand yuan. However, he is currently using the instruments of the real yàn room in the Tang Centralization, and the expenditure is mainly consumables, which are more or less supplemented.

The staff in the office laughed lightly and said, "It's better to think less, someone will notify you when the application is down." ”

"Okay. Yang Rui's psychological expectations were instantly reduced.

Tang Zhong comforted: "This is your first time applying for a project, it's good if you can get it, as long as there are results and acceptance, the next application will be easy." In addition, you can also apply for projects in Beijing and the country, which are the main ...... of the funding."

"I understand. Yang Rui recalled running projects with his mentor when he was a graduate student, and thought: Although it is different, the essence is really the same.
