“Yang Rui, show me your pipette.” Tang Ji returned to the laboratory and remembered light weapons and heavy weapons.
Yang Rui returned to the experimental state, and said as soon as he heard it: “Xiao Sun, give your pipette to Professor Tang.”
Sun Ruyue is a sophomore in this year’s sophomore year, which is one level higher than Yang Rui. At this time, he was called Xiaosun, but Pidianpidian took the pipette out.
Tang concentrated on holding the pipette carefully, and asked for a moment: “How much is this pipette?”
“600 U.S. dollars.” Sun Ruyue rushed and said, “Imported from foreign countries.”
“I saw it.” Tang Central gave Sun Ruyue angrily and asked, “Yang Rui, you bought this yourself?”
“It was bought by Zelecom.”
“It doesn’t matter if we use it in our laboratory?”
“It’s definitely going to be taken back later, it won’t be useful for the time being.” Yang Rui was not going to provide Tang Central Laboratory with equipment. After all, the laboratory in Tang Central is also qualified to be selected as a national key laboratory. With a funding of millions of dollars a year, purchasing a few 600 US dollars of pipettes is not a big deal, it is just a matter of what he wants or not.
Yang Rui bought high-priced imported pipettes. On the one hand, he had accumulated grievances over the years, on the other hand, was the requirement of experiments. Of course, the most important thing was that he had sufficient funds.
Tang Central does not have such a strong demand, so after trying a few pipettes, he still sighed and said, “It’s good, it’s expensive.”
Sun Ruyue said disappointedly: “We can’t buy it.”
“We have a total of 9 people in the laboratory. It costs US$5,400 to buy 9 pipettes? If the evaluation team sees that we spend money like this, we have to talk.” Tang Zhong shook his head and said: “The electrophoresis laboratory still cannot use it. Good equipment, Yang Rui can use his own, you still use the original equipment in the laboratory.”
This time even Wang Ying made a tragic cry. It is a painful thing to use a good instrument and then use a bad instrument. The corresponding comparison can be a new computer and an old computer, a smart machine and an analog machine. Most of the fun will be consumed by this.
However, scientific research dogs have no say. Tang Zhong insisted on this point. Any wailing is useless.
“From tomorrow, I will leave a pipette.” Yang Rui understood what Tang Zhong said.
Tang Zhong felt embarrassed and touched his head, and said: “It’s not that you are not allowed to use it, I’m afraid that the evaluation team will make faults. After this period of time, it will be fine. Okay, do your own thing.”
Dispelling the people, Tang Zhong talked about potassium channel protein with Yang Rui, and said, “I must admit, I didn’t pay attention to your recent experiment before, because you just published a paper. I thought, you want to publish the second one. It takes two or three months for a paper, but I didn’t expect it to be so fast.”
“The experiment went smoothly, and I didn’t finish it all, so I published the paper first.” Yang Rui will publish the paper as long as there are phased results. This is actually a relatively normal practice. Unless it is a special method, such as a paper with a strange idea and a simple method, most laboratories will publish phased results papers. For example, in the research on artificial insulin in China, even though it was in the 1960s, the papers were still published abroad, and more than 20 articles were published successively, which is not easy.
“I think your paper has the words of Peking University Electrophoresis Laboratory, which is very good. So, let Sun Ruyue follow you in the future, give you a hand, and you will also teach him experimental methods and some professional knowledge.” Tang Concentrated and gave the youngest scientific research dog to Yang Rui.
Yang Rui published papers under the name of the electrophoresis laboratory. Although the first author is Yang Rui, Peking University and the electrophoresis laboratory will undoubtedly be brightened, which means that the number of papers under its umbrella has increased. Although for institutions like Peking University, one or two ordinary papers are not important, for an electrophoresis laboratory that is competing for a national key laboratory, one more paper is good.
Yang Rui did not hesitate to thank him. He really needs an experimental assistant now. He can’t even wash the bottles himself. That would be a waste of time. Although Sun Ruyue had helped before, after all, his name was not right.
“If you want to help me in the next research, you come to me.” Tang Zhong clapped his hands and said: “I said before that I would help you apply for school funding, so I will fill out an application form for you tomorrow. Also prepare to see if you can make a project. If you pass the application, it will be at least a thousand dollars. What do you think?”
“That’s great.” Yang Rui entered Tang Central’s laboratory, in addition to seeking privileges, to obtain funding, reputation, and corresponding convenience.
Before that, Yang Rui’s funds were all funded by himself, and the external name was sponsored by Zelecom or Huarui. As a patent project, or a profitable medical project, this method is not a problem, but in the university laboratory, Yang Rui is doing basic projects, and it is a bit wrong to spend his own money.
In the pharmaceutical industry, a new drug usually goes through at least three steps. First of all, some scholars have completed a basic research, such as potassium channels can affect arrhythmia. After learning of this research, researchers from biotech companies will take the second step based on this research to develop or discover a potassium channel blocker to treat arrhythmia. This blocker can be a brand new The synthetic compound can also be an existing compound. Finally, the third step is to extract or produce this existing compound and conduct standard tests prescribed by various institutions.
The plant extraction method made by Yang Rui to produce Coenzyme Q10 is the third step. The second step before Coenzyme Q10 was completed in the early 1970s, and the first basic research was completed in the 1950s.
is equivalent to saying that it will take 30 years for the drug Coenzyme Q10 to face consumers.
Among these three steps, the third step is the key to profit, and it is also the most concentrated part of pharmaceutical companies. The second step is already difficult to apply for patents, so only large pharmaceutical companies are involved, and it is hoped that this will be the first step.
Most of the research conducted by university laboratories is basic, that is, the first step. They spend a lot of money, but they don’t actually know what they will do. Therefore, in addition to even super pharmaceutical companies, they often only Funds will be sponsored instead of direct investment, and because it is purely basic research and there is no patented scientific research, you cannot apply for patents for potassium ion channels in cells, just like scientists cannot apply for patents for newly discovered glaciers or organisms. same.
However, the one-two-three-step compulsion is the opposite of profit. The third step that is easiest to make a profit is the lowest one, and the first step that is difficult to make a profit is the highest one.
As far as the difficulty is concerned, it can be said that the production of cancer drugs is the easiest, and the most difficult part is what is used to produce cancer drugs.
Most of the honors, such as the Nobel Prize, are also awarded to the researchers of the first step or the second step rarely for the third step.
Domestic laboratories currently don’t have much funding, but they are actually quite a lot on a national scale. Especially the accumulated instruments and talents will only increase. There are also various benefits such as location and name, which is convenient. Lots of places.
The next day, Yang Rui sorted out his resume and wrote various elements such as the goals of the project application, before submitting the funding application under the guidance of Tang Zhong.
Because it was the school’s funding application, the staff in the school office was also responsible for receiving the application form. After reading Yang Rui’s application form, he put it in a special kraft paper bag and said: “The school is currently facing a tight budget. Not many, you have to be mentally prepared.”
“Thousands of dollars are enough.” Yang Rui is now doing potassium ion related experiments, and a few thousand dollars is definitely not enough. However, he is currently using the instruments in Tang Central’s laboratory, and his expenditure is mainly for consumables, and he is mostly supplemented.
The staff in the office smiled softly: “I think it’s better to have less. After you apply, someone will inform you.”
“Okay.” Yang Rui’s psychological expectations dropped instantly.
Tang Zhong said with comfort, “This is your first application for a topic. It’s good to be able to approve it. As long as the results are obtained and the acceptance is passed, the next application will be easy. Besides, you can also apply for topics from Beijing and the country. Those are the bulk of the funding.”
“I understand.” Yang Rui recalled running the project with his tutor in the postgraduate days, thinking: Although it is not the same, the essence is the same.
