A two-day academic seminar on "Frontcoming Gene Editing Research" was held in the lecture hall of the School of Life, Zhonghai University of Science and Technology.

From China Overseas University of Science and Technology, Institute of Science and Technology, Aoki University, Kyoto University, Sino-Sea Jiaotong University, Tongji University, Zhejiang University, East China Normal University, Harvard University, University of California, Berkeley, University of California, San Francisco, Yonsei University...

So, a total of more than 40 domestic and foreign experts and scholars attended the meeting.

In addition, nearly 400 scientific research staff and students from the University of Science and Technology, surrounding scientific research institutions and universities, pharmaceutical research and development companies, and well-known media in the field of life sciences attended the meeting.

"Attendance to a meeting" means having the right to speak, vote, etc. in the meeting to affect the results of the meeting;

"Attend to a meeting" is usually just a participant, and at most there is only the right to ask questions.

Of course, Zhou Wen came to attend the meeting.

To be honest, he doesn't want to come.

But as a "tool person", it doesn't matter whether he wants or not.

Vice President of China Overseas University of Science and Technology and Vice President of the School of Life delivered speeches at the opening ceremony.

The scientific research and teaching achievements made by the school and college since its establishment, and warmly welcomed all participants to China Overseas University of Science and Technology.

Then, experts and scholars from home and abroad came to the stage, from DNA repair and genome stability, genetic engineering tools, and genetic engineering treatment;

Genetic engineering biological information, genetic screening, animal and plant models of genetic engineering and the application of genetic engineering, introduce the latest research progress of their respective research teams.

The time for each person is generally controlled at about 20 minutes.

"It is well known that interferon is a lymphokine produced by mammalian cells under induction..."

At this time, the speech was from Professor Zhang Shuhui from Kyoto University, and the title was "The Application of Genetic Engineering in Disease Treatment".

Zhou Wen, who attended an academic conference for the first time, has been listening carefully.

He felt that everyone said it well, but he always felt that something was missing, which was a little different from the "academic conference" he imagined...

Soon, half a day passed in the morning.

At the end of the show, Zhang Yin, deputy director of the Zhonghai Institute of Life Sciences, and Zou Jianbai, professor of the Department of Biology and doctoral supervisor of Tongji University, came to find Zhou Wen together.

Zhang Yin reached out and said, "You are Zhou Wen. I have read your paper and the experiment has been successfully copied. It's really amazing~"

Zhou Wen: "So Zhang is so kind, it's just luck."

Zou Jianbai: "Hahaha... Xiao Zhou is too modest. The genetic modification technology of rice aphids is not something that can be explained by luck. Without a solid theoretical and practical foundation, it is impossible to succeed."

Zhang Yin patted Zhou Wen on the shoulder hard, "That's it. Young man, I'm optimistic about you~"

"Thank you, thank you Professor Zou..."

It was chatting here, and Professor Wang Huiyao came over there with three or four people, two of whom were foreigners.

"I'll introduce you to you that this is Zhou Wen, the inventor of the genetic modification technology of rice aphids."

"This is He Maowei, professor and doctoral supervisor of the Department of Biology at China Overseas University of Science and Technology..."

The genetic modification technology of rice aphids has been widely recognized by experts and scholars at home and abroad, and Zhou Wen has also gained a certain reputation in the biosphere.

It is just because there is an unknown force that suppresses the development of genetic modification technology and has not really become popular yet.

But it's too soon, and it's currently on the negotiating table.

After all, genetic modification technology is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and is the general trend.

With the help of Professor Wang Huiyao, Zhou Wen met many bigwigs in the biological world.

He found that these scientific research masters are not only academically good, but also speak very nicely.

He was embarrassed to praise him.

After a meal.

Under the self-recommendation of a female volunteer at Zhonghai University of Science and Technology, Zhou Wen went to the campus to look around.

It is summer vacation now, and the volunteers are all students staying on campus.

The two of them chatted while walking.

The girl's name is Lou Xingyu, and she is a 2nd graduate of the Department of Biology, China Overseas University of Science and Technology.

The two of them talked about the school, the culture and tourist attractions of Zhonghai, as well as biotechnology, including Zhou Wen's academic achievements, etc.

"By the way, Teacher Zhou, I'll ask you a question."

Zhou Wen laughed and said, "Everyone said, don't call me teacher, I'm not as old as you. Call me my name, or call me a handsome guy."

Lou Xingyu smiled and asked, "Teacher Zhou, is there still a shortage of people in the testing center of your hospital?"

Zhou Wen was too lazy to correct her and smiled and said, "What are you doing? Do you want to go?"

Lou Xingyu said: "Yes! My current work unit is just engaged in some of the most basic experiments, and even high school students can do it. After six or seven years of college, I really don't want to eat and wait for death in such a unit after graduation."

"So...you are from biopharmaceuticals, right?"

"Yeah, right."

"Then I'll test you a few questions."

Lou Xingyu nodded, "Well, Teacher Zhou, ask."

Zhou Wenwen said: "What are the main physical mutagens used in mutagenesis breeding?"

Lou Xingyu thought about it for a moment and said: "It mainly consists of ultraviolet rays, x-rays, γ-rays, fast neutrons, a-rays, β-rays, and ultrasonics, among which ultraviolet rays are the most widely used."

Zhou Wen nodded and asked again: "What are the methods for extracting fermentation products?"

Lou Xingyu: "There are adsorption, precipitation, solvent extraction, and ion exchange method."

"What are the characteristics of antibiotic biosynthetic genes?"

"The typical characteristic of antibiotic synthesis genes is that they have high g-c base composition, with a content of up to 70%..."

Zhou Wen asked seven or eight questions in a row, and Lou Xingyu answered them smoothly.

Zhou Wen was very satisfied with her knowledge reserves and smiled and said, "No, my basic skills are very solid."

Lou Xingyu smiled and said, "No, but I'm preparing Bilun recently and checked a lot of key information. If you want to say it's amazing, you're better at teacher. You know the key knowledge points in biopharmaceuticals very well."

Zhou Wen laughed, then thought for a moment and said, "I have been studying prion proteins recently and have made some new discoveries. Our hospital has specially set up a research group for this."

Lou Xingyu nodded and smiled cleverly and said, "Well, I know. Teacher Zhou, you are still the team leader!"

Zhou Wen said in surprise: "Hey, how do you know?"

Lou Xingyu said with a clever smile: "You are introduced on the official website of Jiangzhou Hospital."

"Yes, I haven't seen it yet."

Lou Xingyu took out his cell phone and searched for the website address.

"Here, you see, there is such a big special report on the homepage."

"Let me take a look...the advanced figures in Jiangzhou medical technology, young experts..."

As Lou Xingyu said, the prion research team has just been established and even the special laboratory has not been renovated yet, Jiangzhou First People's Hospital couldn't wait to start blowing.

The hospital is called the national advanced unit and key unit for prion research, and has made outstanding contributions to prion.

It's almost the number one in China.

As the inventor of genetic modification technology, Zhou Wen successfully collected prion proteins under normal conditions, so he naturally praised it.

Zhou Wen felt a little embarrassed when he looked at the contents on the article.

Fortunately, under normal circumstances, no one will go to the hospital to read the fancy articles that are self-praised by the hospital.

"Cough cough cough~" Zhou Wen coughed and said, "If you want to come, you can do it, but you also have to start with the most basic experiment. If you perform well later, I will consider giving you some important experimental tasks."

When Lou Xingyu heard this, he said happily: "Yeah, yeah, I know this~ Thank you Teacher Zhou."

"Don't be busy thanking me for now, I haven't finished speaking yet!

The salary of the experimenter was not high at the beginning, about 4,000 to 5,000 yuan per month, and the hospital provided food and accommodation.

Do you think you can accept it?

As for whether the salary will increase in the future, it depends on your own ability. If you perform well, I will help you win it."

Lou Xingyu smiled and said, "Well, I can accept..."

...

As soon as Zhou Wen returned to the lecture hall, Xie Jingming, deputy director of the Zhonghai Virology Research Institute, came over.

Xie Jingming couldn't wait to ask: "I heard that your hospital collected human prion protein under normal conditions. Is it true or false? How did you do it?"

"Sorry, thank you. It is not convenient to disclose the specific experimental data for the time being, but I can tell you for sure that this is true..."

Zhou Wen and Director Xie Jingming chatted for more than ten minutes with mlp (laughing prions).

The academic conference has begun.

At 3:30 pm, Zhou Wen came on stage to give an academic report on "gene transformation technology of rice aphid" and some experiences in the experiment.
