Chapter 172:

The news that Berg and Gilbert hosted an expert meeting on the "Human Genome Project" in Cold Spring Harbor spread to China within a week.
The domestic biological circle exploded at once.
"The Human Genome Project is an international project! It is a project for all mankind! China, a large country with a population of one-fifth of the global population, how can we not participate in this project!"
"The United States has publicly stated that it will include this plan in next year's national budget. France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and other countries have also expressed that they will participate in this plan. China cannot fall behind."
"Yes, Japan is involved. This is not only a matter of people's livelihood, but also genetic optimization. This is a nation's cause!"
"But they didn't mean to invite us to participate in China. What's the use of complaining here!"
Since receiving the news of the expert meeting held in Cold Spring Harbor, the top group of Chinese Biologists have gathered together for meetings more than once, and even many of the first-generation biologists in China who have retired long ago are trembling on crutches. To come to the meeting.
"Tian has already reported this issue to the central government, and the government has also expressed to the United States our desire to participate through the ambassador to the United States, but the United States has always shied away."
"What about civil relations! Pharaoh, haven't you been to Cold Spring Harbor to participate in meetings before? Can you get in touch with Mr. Watson?" someone asked.
The biologist known as Lao Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I just went to Cold Spring Harbor to attend an international conference on tumors. Although the conference was hosted by Mr. Watson, it is correct, but how can I get in touch with others. "
"What about you, Xiao Zhang? Didn't you graduate from the University of Chicago? I heard that you had an internship in the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory after graduation?" Because of his internship experience in Cold Spring Harbor, this Professor Zhang escaped the associate professor once he returned to China and was directly caught The title of professor was awarded.
"I was able to enter Cold Spring Harbor for an internship because Mr. Watson is an alumnus of the University of Chicago. The University of Chicago has several Cold Spring Harbor internships every year. I have an internship at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for a year, but I have never seen Wo. How about Mr. Sen!" Professor Zhang said with a wry smile.
The scene fell silent all of a sudden. At this moment, someone suddenly said: "Professor Chen, can your Huaqing Professor Li get in touch with the US?"
Professor Li in this population is naturally Li Zheng.
Chen Angang heard the words and couldn't help showing a helpless look. "Professor Li took leave of absence to go abroad after the ceremony for the establishment of the Huaqing Prize."
"Going abroad? This time going abroad?! On weekdays, he is holding a foreigner's thigh and he will go abroad. It's a coincidence." The speaker was an associate professor in his early thirties.
He is considered young and promising to be hired as an associate professor at this age, but it is clear that his character does not match his title.
"Chen Zhibin!" an old professor shouted, his complexion very ugly.
Although everyone did not open their mouths to reprimand, they glanced at the associate professor who had heard that he was a returnee, but there was a faint disdain in his eyes.
Li Zheng is a bit high-profile, but people have high-profile capital. Many of the professors here have gone to Li Zheng’s class and benefited a lot from Li Zheng’s guidebook. Therefore, for this kind of groundless accusation, everyone is of course even more Favor Li Zheng.
"Can't get in touch?"
"I couldn't get in touch a week ago." Chen Angang shook his head.
Zhao Depei is also looking for Li Zheng. Li Zheng has already owed several classes this year. Zhao Depei promised Li Zheng to officially transfer him to associate professor a year later. However, this kind of absenteeism rate was not mentioned by the school committee. I am embarrassed to mention this, and President Zhao is also anxious.
Everyone was silent again.
Only heavy breathing can be heard in the entire conference room.
Old Tian used a crutches to knock the ground forcefully, "Human Genome Project, China must participate in, genetic optimization is a national event! We must not be left behind!" The old man was gray-haired and could not find a trace of black hair. He was rickety and face. You can clearly see the age spots, but what he said was loud and loud, and people didn't even have the courage to refute.
"Old grandson, let's go together and see the old chief. Xiao Chen, you try to contact the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Professor Watson to express our sincerity to China."
"Okay, Old Tian."
"Okay, Old Tian." Everyone responded.
Seeing the last person walking out of the conference room, Tian Lao stood up from his seat tremblingly, "If China, which accounts for one-fifth of the population, cannot participate in this entire human genome project, that would be a shame."
Old Tian's voice was very soft, but it clearly reached the ears of Chen Anbang, who had just stepped out, and his whole body was shaken, and the pace under his feet couldn't help speeding up.
Go back and contact Li Zheng as soon as possible, he will definitely be able to contact Mr. Watson.
At this time, Li Zheng, who was missed by a kind of biologists in China, entered the working state as early as a week ago.
Ruiz helped him find two assistants. When Li Zheng saw these two, the corners of his mouth twitched. These two assistants were both about forty years old, one fat and one thin, and their faces were always the same. Laughed.
Their names are Edel Pierce and Kaimmenor Dannusen, one is a professor of biology at New York University, and the other is an honorary member of the American Cancer Research Association. Although the two are not as good as the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory meeting Of those forty, they are also among the best in the international biological circle.
Do they give Li Zheng as an assistant? Li Zheng couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at Ruiz.
Ruiz waved his hand, "Don't look at me, they came to the door by themselves." Ruiz's favorite assistant is his student, also a professor of biology at New York University, well, an associate professor. The principle of exodus is to let his students participate in this great experiment.
But before hanging up the phone, the two people came to the door.
The two didn't mean to be polite at all, and directly expressed their wishes to Ruiz.
"Professor Pierce, Professor Dannusen, you must know that the only partners in the project can be me and Professor Li. There is no third person to intervene. If you want to participate in the experiment, you must act as an assistant to one of them. It's just an assistant," Ruiz emphasized.
Pierce and Dannusen looked at each other and laughed, without the slightest surprise on their faces, "Yes, didn't you just say that Professor Li Zheng lacked two assistants? We think we are just right."
Pierce and Dannusen are well-known network kings in the international biological circle. Although they are not qualified to participate in the expert meeting in Cold Spring Harbor, they are always paying attention to the dynamics of the meeting. They have heard of Li Zheng’s experiment from the population of friends, and The friend's sentence "If I were a few years younger, I might actually put my hands down to participate in this experiment, and it would be cheaper for the old boy Ruiz" to get into their ears.
He can't put it down, they can.
Li Zheng is eligible to attend the Cold Spring Harbor Conference, which shows that his international academic status is already above them, so if they become an assistant, what would be a shame. Pierce and Dannuson convinced themselves like this.
The two met to come to the Ruiz laboratory to block people. No, when they first arrived at the door of Ruiz's office, they heard that this old boy was trying to stuff his disciple into this experiment.
So the two immediately opened the door and walked in, recommending themselves!
Yes, self-recommend! With the two jewels in front of them, Ruiz is embarrassed to mention his associate professor's disciple.
The corners of Li Zheng's mouth twitched again, "Professor Pierce, Professor Dannuson, if there is anything impolite in the experiment, please don't take it off." What else can he do? People have to bow their heads under the eaves. , After all, it is the laboratory of others.
Pierce and Dannusen's mouths were big grinning, "Professor Li is polite, we are your assistant, we know this position very clearly." The two smiled, and looked at Li Zheng's eyes as if they were looking at a gold ingot.
That's right, Jin Ingot, that's what Li Zheng thinks.
"Okay, then we... let's start."
Ruiz nodded, "Jenny, find out the genetic data of non-small cell lung cancer. Edward, the clinical data of Dointinib, and the genetic screening analysis for the file with the poor prognosis. Charlie is on standby."
Li Zheng also left all his other thoughts behind, "Professor Pierce, this is a dynamic model of non-small cell lung cancer gene mutations that I have constructed with a computer. It has 81 mutation possibilities. I hope to screen for The most likely form of mutation."
"Professor Dannuson, I think we must first prepare for the target. When Professor Ruiz and Professor Pierce find the mutant gene, we will start to find the target."
"Okay, Professor Li." The two replied in unison.
Several people quickly got into work. During the work, Li Zheng's eating, drinking, and Lazard were solved in the laboratory, and he did not step out of the laboratory at all, which caused the Chinese people to be unable to contact him at all.
During their experiment, a researcher named Henderson once came in and sent materials. He was the young man who said "welcome" to Li Zheng.
When he knew that Li Zheng was not their new colleague, but a collaborator of Professor Ruiz, and that even Professor Pierce and Professor Dannuson were to be his assistants, he was stunned.
He was taller than Li Zheng. At his chin, Henderson suddenly felt a feeling that his food for so many years was only used to grow his height?
