Chapter 61 Scripps

"Look, isn't this sea beautiful?"

Ye Lan closed her eyes, stretched her arms upwards vigorously, and murmured intoxicatedly. The strong sea breeze blew her beautiful long hair, flying in the air, just like an elf in the wind.

Tian Lu built a pergola with his right hand in front of his forehead. As far as the eye can see, the azure blue extends to the distant sky and becomes the same color as the azure sky. It makes people feel relieved and extremely comfortable!

"Yes, it's so beautiful!"

Gentlely admiring, Tian Lu was very satisfied with the place where he was about to work for two years. The Scripps Research Institute is located in La Jolla, west of San Diego, next to the beautiful sea, surrounded by greenery, and the air is fresh.

It's a good place.

"Okay, it's almost time, you go in quickly."

After enjoying the sea breeze for a while, Ye Lan gently pushed Tian Lu and said with a pursed lips. Today she came to the research institute together, firstly because Tian Lu had not been here yet and was afraid of wasting time on the road, and also because of this.

Big sea: When Ye Lan came to this place for the first time two days ago, she fell in love with the blue sky.

After checking the time, it was indeed almost time. Tian Lu picked up the leather bag on the beach and glanced at Ye Lan hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I'll go back later!"

Knowing that Tian Lu was worried about him, Ye Lan held her little hands behind her back, stood on tiptoes and walked two steps to Tian Lu's side, raising her little face and smiling.

"Um."

Tian Lu nodded, suddenly lowered his head and kissed Ye Lan's forehead gently, and whispered: "It's been a long time since we went out to play together. How about going to see a movie tonight?"

"real?"

Ye Lan's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise. The work of a resident doctor is very hard, and Tian Luduo also rests at home on rest days. The two of them have indeed not relaxed for a long time.

Ye Lan's surprised expression made Tian Lu feel a strong sense of guilt. He immediately nodded vigorously and said: "Of course it's true. The research institute is not a hospital. The commuting hours are guaranteed, and today is the first day of work."

I’ll report in one day, so I’ll probably go back early, and I’ll call you then.”

Seeing Ye Lan's happy expression, Tian Lu's mood became much happier, and he turned and walked towards the research institute not far away.

...

The Scripps Research Institute is one of the largest private non-profit research institutes in the United States and has always been among the top ten in biomedical research in the United States. There are nearly 300 professors and thousands of technical staff in the institute.

Coupled with hundreds of postdocs and hundreds of Ph.D.s, it has a large number of personnel and a large scale. The one in San Diego is only one of its two branches. The entire institute consists of several connected buildings, but the floors are not too high.

, the highest is only seven floors, and the overall style is plain and unpretentious. From the appearance, there is no clue that this is one of the world's biomedical research centers.

Tian Lu took the "letter of introduction" from the San Francisco Medical Center, passed the rather strict security check, and walked into the largest building. After being guided by the front desk, he went all the way to the fifth floor and found the Department of Neurobiology.

Director's office.

Standing at the open door, Tian Lu gently knocked on the door and said, "Hello, I am Tian Lu from the San Francisco Medical Center. I have an appointment with Professor Bruce at nine-thirty."

Professor Bruce's secretary was a very young brown-haired woman who looked quite smart in a professional suit. After listening to Tian Lu's self-introduction, she quickly looked through the notebook at hand, then made a phone call and said a few words, and quickly raised her head.

He smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Tian, ​​Professor Bruce is already waiting for you in the office. Please go in by yourself."

Tian nodded politely and walked straight in.

"Nice to meet you, Tian!"

After knocking on the door and receiving a response, he opened the door. When Tian Lu walked in, Bruce had already greeted Shan Shan with a smile on his face and stretched out his right hand from a distance.

Hurrying forward two steps, Tian Lu shook hands with Professor Bruce vigorously and said, "I'm glad to see you too, sir."

As the head of the Department of Neurobiology, Professor Bruce was a little surprised by the young Tian Lu, who was probably in his early forties, had a strong body, and looked energetic. In his office, he was also dressed very casually, in Western style.

Pants, shirt, no tie, collar slightly open, looks very approachable.

After the usual greetings and asking Tian Lu to sit down, the secretary quickly brought in two cups of coffee, and then the two started chatting formally.

"Tian, ​​Professor Locke has spoken highly of you both on the phone and in documents. We very much welcome outstanding professionals like you to come and carry out basic research work." Professor Bruce said with a smile.

Tian Lu bowed and complimented calmly: "It's my honor to be able to come to the world-famous Scripps!"

"Then let's get back to business."

Naturally accepting Tian Lu's words, Professor Bruce looked at the information Tian Lu brought over and asked with a little surprise: "I saw in your application materials that you directly applied for two years of research time?"

"Yes sir, I thought it would be difficult to achieve my predetermined goal in one year, so I directly applied for two years." Tian Lu nodded.

"It seems you are very confident in yourself!"

Professor Bruce glanced at Tian Lu with admiration and said with a smile: "But I still have to remind you that this is the United States, and pure clinicians are the most profitable profession!"

"I understand this. I just want to fully train my research abilities." Regarding Professor Bruce's kind reminder, Tian Lu said with a grateful smile. Professor Bruce said it very honestly. Generally speaking, residents should conduct research.

The purpose is to lay a solid foundation, expand thinking, and prepare for clinical research. Few people are willing to turn to the basic direction. After all, in general, the income of clinicians is higher.

"As long as you know it yourself."

Professor Bruce was unwilling to interfere too much, nodded, and then asked: "So, do you want to join one of our research groups, or do you want to independently carry out your own project?"

There are many research groups under the Department of Neurobiology, each conducting different research. Generally speaking, residents can choose to participate in a research group that interests them, and of course they can also choose to conduct research on their own. However, because

**Research is very difficult, and to some extent it lacks necessary financial support, so many people choose to join a research group.

But it was obvious that Tian Lu didn't intend to do that. He immediately took out a thick stack of printing paper from his wallet, stood up and handed it to Professor Bruce: "I plan to study a topic, and this is my plan.

, please take a look."

Glancing at Tian Lu with some surprise, Professor Bruce took the pile of printing paper and started flipping through it quickly.

"Pericytes, endothelial cells...blood-brain barrier?"

After reading only two pages, Professor Bruce frowned and asked in confusion.

Tian Lu nodded and said, "Yes sir, I want to conduct research in this area."

"But you have to know that this is an extremely difficult subject. It is very difficult to produce results within two years, even very small results! Are you sure?" Professor Bruce said seriously.

"I am sure!"

Tian Lu nodded firmly and answered very seriously: "There are very detailed instructions in my plan. If you read it carefully, you will find that its feasibility is very high!"

"All right!"

Professor Bruce also put the pile of information on the table very simply, and then nodded: "I will take a serious look at it. If it is indeed feasible, then I will approve your project, but if I think it is not feasible,

, I’m afraid I can only ask you to make another choice. Do you understand?”

"Yes, sir."

Tian Lu nodded extremely confidently.

Just kidding, if the scientific research plan generated by the system is not feasible, what else is feasible? Tian Lu believes that as a top scholar in the subject, Professor Bruce will definitely find the value of this plan.

The matter was basically finished. Professor Bruce spoke to his secretary. Soon, a postdoctoral fellow came to the office and left with Tian Lu. Under the leadership of the postdoctoral fellow, Tian Lu visited the office while going through various procedures and documents.

The Department of Neurobiology also had a general understanding of the entire Scripps situation.

A heart gradually becomes hot.

In addition to those conventional separation and preparation instruments, molecular biology equipment, genetic analysis equipment, proteomics-related equipment, cell biology equipment, animal-related equipment..., antibody development and production centers, second-generation sequencing

Technology center, DNA microarray technology center, X-ray crystallography photography equipment, protein and nucleic acid research center, flow cytometry core facilities, high-energy computing and other facilities are all available, quite complete!

Such research conditions can almost be regarded as the top level in the world!

As I walked and looked at Tian Lu, I felt as if I was stepping on a ball of cotton. I was dizzy, and I kept thinking about how many future theories in the system could be verified by using these devices. I completely forgot that I only had two years.

time, and also ignored what the postdoc kept reminding: how far in advance this equipment needs to be scheduled for use, and what conditions applicants for that equipment must meet...

After completing all the formalities and arranging to officially start work tomorrow, Tian Lu walked out of the Scripps Research Institute, turned around and looked at the large building, and suddenly felt a surge of pride in his heart!

If getting admitted to medical school is his first step, and coming to San Francisco Medical Center is his second step, then the upcoming two-year research career is the third step towards his ultimate goal!

In a daze, the brilliant future seemed to be waving to him impatiently...

....................................................

Everyone, this is today’s chapter. I deliberately took time to write it in the morning, just to modify all the previous chapters in the afternoon. The first is to modify bugs, but to modify the text. The text comes second, mainly bugs, in many places

A relatively large adjustment is required. In addition, a lot of unnecessary text will be deleted, such as instructions at the end of chapters, etc.

It seems that the modification will also be used as an update prompt, so please ignore it automatically and will not update it today. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
Chapter completed!
