"Xiao Du, we already understand what you think," Fang Jin said. "We will discuss this matter and give you an answer in two days."
"OK." Du Xingyu agreed.
He felt that the success rate of this matter was still very high, because the Biology Department of Peking University was originally the leading in the country. Moreover, Peking University has money. Last year, Peking University''s annual income reached more than 30 billion.
It is not only an institution of higher learning, but also has its own company and medical school.
The medical institutions affiliated to Peking University alone can bring it a lot of income every year. My own research plays a very important role in medical technology.
It''s relatively convenient to stay in Peking University, whether it''s academic research or other aspects. If not, Du Xingyu also chooses the best research institute or large group.
These companies now want to dig him. Privately, some companies have offered him special favorable conditions.
But Du Xingyu doesn''t want to go to too commercial companies, so his research direction will be restricted.
……
Because of Du Xingyu, the University Committee of Peking University held a special meeting to discuss it.
"Du Xingyu is indeed a rare talent. But the conditions he put forward are also very harsh. An independent laboratory is still the top in the world. The cost is hundreds of millions to start, and maybe even more. Is this treatment too high for a graduate student?" someone said.
"I don''t think it''s high, but it''s reasonable," Su Yutang said. "I know du Xingyu''s academic level best. Although I''m his teacher, I''m ashamed to say that he has surpassed me in some aspects!"
"As far as I know, several foreign universities and research institutions have invited him. Their treatment is no lower than ours!"
"In previous years, we all paid high prices to recruit talents from famous foreign schools. Now we have trained top talents ourselves. Why don''t we try to keep him?"
Su Yutang''s words made everyone feel a little ashamed.
Fang Jin said, "heroes should also have a place to play. Du Xingyu has made such a big breakthrough at a young age. The most rare thing is that he doesn''t pay much attention to fame and wealth. What he wants is research conditions. If we meet him now, I believe he will bring the bioscience of Peking University and even the whole China to a new level in the future!"
"If the school can''t pay, our medical department is willing to pay!" Peking University Medical Department is one of the six university departments of Peking University, with an independent administrative system.
They are also a very rich department. The annual revenue of those affiliated hospitals is astronomical.
"Since everyone has no problem," Xu Chang said, "then I propose to give special treatment to special talents and recruit Du Xingyu directly in the name of the University. Let him become our scholar. When his qualifications are enough, he can also be a lecturer or professor..."
……
"Du Xingyu, your conditions are generally agreed by the University." Su Yutang informed Du Xingyu, "from a graduate student to a scholar of Peking University, you have your own independent laboratory. You are the first to create our school!"
"Thank you, teacher." Du Xingyu thanked. Su Yutang made a lot of efforts in this process.
"Ha ha, give full play to it. I believe your real intelligence has not been brought into play." Su Yutang said firmly, "life science is a great and mysterious discipline. Until today, we still know little about biological science."
"There are countless problems waiting for us to overcome... Your young people are active and can make more creative research!"
……
Du Xingyu stayed in Peking University and became a scholar of Peking University. His independent laboratory, the school has begun to build, and the site is near Su Yutang''s laboratory.
Therefore, before the completion of the laboratory, Du Xingyu''s main work place was in Su Yutang''s biological laboratory.
The little Tyrannosaurus Rex he cloned was named "Dawei", and netizens affectionately called it "Dawei Tianlong".
With sufficient food supply, the size of Dawei grew rapidly, and the training cabin in the laboratory soon couldn''t accommodate it.
In order to make it grow better, the capital zoo spent tens of millions to create a "Habitat" for it. Please let Dawei live there. At the same time, it is observed and studied.
On the day Dawei settled in the zoo, the whole zoo ushered in an unprecedented peak. The Tyrannosaurus Rex Park was blocked. It is said that the online number was more than 100000!
Many markets want to see the "true face" of Tyrannosaurus Rex, and even foreigners make a special trip to the capital to watch Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Dawei is the first generation of cloned Tyrannosaurus Rex. The current observation results show that as long as the food, temperature and oxygen content are sufficient, it still grows smoothly." Du Xingyu explained to the researcher responsible for observing Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"However, it does not have fertility. It should be able to reproduce after several generations of cloning with its cells. Whether to do so or not, you should consider it with the garden."
Du Xingyu did not intend to spend all his energy on cloning dinosaurs, although the outside world now calls it the father of "Tyrannosaurus Rex".
……
His next step is to establish a complete "human gene map". This is different from cloning. In the process of cloning, Du Xingyu doesn''t know what the role of some genes is, but he only needs to draw a gourd according to the gourd.
The "human gene map" he wants to build is to find out what genetic information each gene contains and what physiological performance it will have.
Many scientists in the world have done this work. As early as decades ago, the United States put forward the "human genome project".
Up to now, 25000 genes and 3 billion base pairs have been detected in the human body.
Modifying and controlling these genes is what Du Xingyu wants to do. Only in this way can he make human genes more perfect and make human beings live longer and wiser, a real interstellar race!
Before completing these tasks, Du Xingyu first received an invitation from the medical department.
……
"Hello, Mr. Du. My name is Xie Ziqian. I''m the director of the medical department of Peking University and the Affiliated Hospital of Peking University." standing in front of Du Xingyu is a man in his 60s.
"I''ve read your paper on cloning dinosaurs. It''s very good! Especially the part about in vitro cell cloning, which is being read by experts in our hospital!"
"I''m looking for you this time. Please point out one of our research teams..."
Xie Ziqian''s purpose is to let Du Xingyu point out their technology on stem cell induction and cultivation.
The affiliated hospital has a team dedicated to studying these. Its purpose is to use stem cell cultivation technology to cultivate human cells and tissues in vitro to treat some diseases.
"In fact, stem cell cultivation can not only induce the cultivation of specific cells." after understanding their research content, Du Xingyu said, "if the conditions are appropriate, we can even use stem cells to cultivate human organs in vitro."
"Cultivate human organs in vitro?" Xie Ziqian asked, "such as skin?"
Cultivating human organs in vitro is no longer a new word. The medical community has long been able to cultivate organs such as human skin in vitro.
"Not only the skin, but also the heart, kidney, liver and so on. In fact, all organs in the human body can be cultivated in vitro." Du Xingyu said, "as long as the technology I proposed is used to improve."
Hearing his words, these medical researchers were very surprised, "can you do this?"
If we can do this, we don''t know how many patients'' pain we need to solve. After organ transplantation, you won''t be afraid that you can''t find the transplanted organ, and you don''t have to worry about rejection.
Because it can be induced directly by human own stem cells, new organs can be cultivated in vitro for transplantation.
"It should be." Du Xingyu nodded. "In my previous research, editing genes folded into the nucleus, bred pluripotent stem cells, and then induced them into totipotent stem cells. That''s how dinosaur embryos were bred."
"With this technology, it is not difficult to cultivate human totipotent stem cells."
"We just need to induce totipotent stem cells again, let them develop the cells needed by patients, and create an in vitro culture environment to cultivate human organs."
Hearing what he said, all medical researchers looked puzzled. Obviously, they didn''t believe it.
If we can do it, this technology will shock the world more than Du Xingyu''s cloning of dinosaurs!
Dinosaurs can only be seen as fresh, studying Paleontology and genetics.
The in vitro organ cultivation technology mentioned by Du Xingyu is to completely rewrite the tens of thousands of years of human history! Benefit all mankind!
"Since you invited me to participate in this research project," Du Xingyu said, "I propose to take mice directly to study organ cultivation technology in vitro."
The researchers all hesitated. Xie Ziqian directly agreed: "of course! You can try it!"
When Du Xingyu left, they asked Xie Ziqian again.
"Director, do you really believe what he said about organ cultivation in vitro? Even skin, we also have this technology. But is it too exaggerated to cultivate kidney and liver?"
"Yes, this man is too young. Professor Su Yutang must have given some advice before cloning dinosaurs. He himself, I think it''s a little hanging!"
"Are we a group of experts trying because of his idea? Now the technology is not mature, and it will be possible in a few decades!"
"Our current situation is that ''one'' has not been studied and understood. He has directly set his goal to ''Ten''."
Xie Ziqian comforted: "don''t worry. Have you all seen his paper on cloning Tyrannosaurus Rex? Is it insightful and breakthrough about the induction and cultivation of stem cells?"
The crowd nodded, which they could not deny.
"That''s right," Xie Ziqian said. "If the three go together, there must be my teacher. Professor Su Yutang recommended Du Xingyu to come to our project. You should learn from his strengths."
"Whether we can complete organ cultivation in vitro is another matter. In short, our ultimate goal is to study the induction and cultivation technology of stem cells, which does not conflict with our research goal."
Obviously, Xie Ziqian doesn''t think they can achieve such a "great" goal. As long as they can complete one tenth of the progress, they will even complete the research purpose.
"In short, everyone should cooperate and study hard. Maybe we can make some important discoveries and breakthroughs!"
"All right," a group of researchers nodded.
